For some area residents, President George W. Bush's State of the Union address Wednesday night wasn't exactly must-see television.

Most of about a dozen people interviewed Thursday across Long Island said they didn't watch it. "It's just meant to appease people," said Chandra Wymer, 24, a Hofstra law student from Carle Place.

This group was largely reticent about many of the recommendations made during the speech, which touched on everything from health care, energy and foreign policy to immigration and education. But Bush's vision for Social Security drew a vocal response.

Based on the scant details they were privy to, many interviewed Thursday said they would prefer that Social Security be left alone.

It's a taking care of your brothers and sisters thing. Social Security means just that. I don't know why Bush and his supporters have so much trouble with understanding that.

They don't want to roll the dice on Wall Street and tell the elderly to abide by the result of the roll.
