On Dean and the State of the Union Speech

After learning about Howard Dean's loss in Iowa, I was rather surprised. I didn't really pay attention to the news because I was focused on my schoolwork. However, I did hear that Dean had been slipping in the news.

What I said to myself was, "Well, that's good. We can now see how Dean's going to react. Is he capable, like Clinton was, of becoming another "Comeback Kid"? If he is not, then he is simply not experienced in the ways of politics to win. So the next few weeks of state Democratic nominations should prove one of the few events to watch closely. I, on the other hands, would love to know how that Spirit Rover is doing.

That sad thing would be that I actually supported him for being a "unique" candidate. It's a shame that John Kerry won, even though I'm not sure I enjoy his appearance. He looks tired, his drooping eyes make him unappealing, actually. Since I had never paid attention to him, I do not know who this senator from Congress is.




Bush's State of the Union Speech was very interesting! It's the first time I ever really paid attention to most of the speech of any Presidents elected.

So apparently he has stated a possible support for the constitutional amendment for banning anything that does not preserve the values of family, i.e. gay marriage. I should not have brought it up first, over the other things that he had proposed, such as making the tax cuts permanent, etc.

After mulling over what the political editors have wrote regarding the speech, I would say that Bush has really improved over the year.

Not improved in intelligence or saving the environment, gosh, no, but improved in politics. Before, he was rather clumsy, but now, he's learned to be quick on his feet. His years of living at the White House and fending off attacks have hardened him to the point where I respect and fear him.

While it might be nice to depend on a strong leader for guiding us, and inasmuch as I wish that he would be the protector of the environment that he says he is, I do not need to depend on him. I do my own way, recycle what I can, preserve what I will. So are the companies like Toyota and Honda, devoted toward the development of the hybrid and hydrogen-fueled cars like none others.

This is a cephalous society of course, so all the world regard our Bush the representative American. If that is their view, it would be a shame that they cannot look past their own ignorance, and see the diversity that makes United States. Remember, after all, that 500,000 more Americans have voted for Gore than Bush. But we keep our electoral system because it is a cute, eccentric system for a large country as ours.
