President gives lackluster speech
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) said it best when he constantly shook his head at President George W. Bush's State of the Union address on Tuesday night. For approximately half of his 55 minute speech the president spoke about the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and terrorism - nearly everything except the pressing domestic issues that plague the United States at this moment. "People are really hurting in terms of their costs of education, in terms of their health care costs," said Kennedy following the address. The State of the Union should be a representation of how the United States is faring overall. Indeed, the reality of the situation is that we have reneged on fundamental human rights, weakened the economy, let our brave men and women in uniform die, backed out on legislation for our children, and allowed the upper class to become even more elite in society.
