The SOTU

Old Hickory: His soul goes marching on


Jim Webb was great! He quoted Andrew Jackson (usually a very good sign) on how we can't let the greedy rich stomp on the working class - or something to that effect.

Then he ripped into Bush on the Iraq War saying that it was begun recklessly and was not making America safer. And he called for a speedy withdrawal.

Dadgum! Maybe the Democratic Party still is the Party of Jefferson and Jackson!

And we may be seeing an historic moment. The moment where the Democrats learn to fight again. And fight for working people and for peace and national security and against mindless, self-destructive wars.

Oh, Bush gave a speech, too. He said The Terrorists would git us unless we cheer for his war policies.
