Here is a
transcript in case anybody wants to read it.
That Social Security privatization plan is a scam. How much more transparent can he get? It's obvious the only objective is to dupe younger Americans into enriching corporations by playing the stock market. Why not allow people to opt out of Social Security and be allowed to place their money into private banks if they so wish?! After all, it is your money, not the goverment's.
And it looks like Clinton's "midnight basketball" has made a comeback:

Now we need to focus on giving young people, especially young men in our cities, better options than apathy, or gangs, or jail. Tonight I propose a three-year initiative to help organizations keep young people out of gangs, and show young men an ideal of manhood that respects women and rejects violence.

Again, the private sector is a better way to combat this than the goverment. You don't cure social ills by throwing money at them.
Bush's foreign policy is the usual saber rattling and the perversion of the word "freedom".

We will not set an artificial timetable for leaving Iraq, because that would embolden the terrorists and make them believe they can wait us out

Give me a break. If we leave and hooligans try to take over then the natives will put them down. Of course, Bush doesn't want to cut the cord because they want to put military bases there in order to guard the oil and set the stage for future invasions.
Bush also contradicts himself:
Quote:
|
The United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else.
|
Quote:
|
Our aim is to build and preserve a community of free and independent nations, with governments that answer to their citizens, and reflect their own cultures.

Hooray for nation-building! Isn't invading a country and removing it's goverment imposing just a little?! Perhaps the U.S. would be behooved to lead by example rather than leading with a mortar attack. It's really disgusting to hear Bush prattle on about increasing freedoms abroad while he is taking more of them away at home.
