Was Bush actually booed during the SOTU???

[neoteric lefty]

I read this somewhere just a few minutes ago. I didn't get a chance to watch it this evening. If so, I'm sure he did something to diserve it.

[Nordmadr]

1. Lots of shouts of

disagreement when he talked about Social Security.

[elperromagico]

2. Good.

Hands off Social Security.

[jjtss]

5. If he fixes SS.....

like he fixed IRAQ I do feel sorry for anyone younger than me.
I also fear for my own future.

[CWebster]

13. I just turned 50 and I am pissed.

Not only are they talking about cutting our benefits but just yesterday I signed a petition to prevent them from privitizing our pensions as well.

Meanwhile the tax cuts for the top will be made permanent.

Bush will never be called a "traitor to his class" but it increasingly seems that fewer and fewer of them fight for us.

dark days ahead.

[Riding this Donkey]

15. I am scared sh*tless

Anyone between the age of 25 and 55 will get screwed. I am really really pissed off. excuse the language but if there was a time, this calls for it.

[adigal]

19. I'm 43

and have put into this system since I was 14. Feels like I am going to get screwed. I had better prepare to work until I die.

[China_cat]

16. We need to keep hitting

the fact that the 'owners' of these 'private' accounts will NOT be allowed to decide how to invest that portion of the money that is supposed to be 'theirs'. I think if you could get the younger set to see that they won't be in control of the account, they'll be even more pissed than us older people who are facing a bleaker future than we had imagined.

[MaineDem]

25. I'm 53 and already retired

I'm counting on SS. My husband is 60 and SS is the only thing (other than my pension) that he has waiting for him.

I'm furious, frightened, and absolutely ballistic over this!!!

[KansDem]

32. My new bumper sticker...

"Will George fix Social Security like he fixed Iraq?"

[AntiCoup2K4]

3. Definitely some of the Democrats found their balls when it came to SS

I thought I was watching Poodle's address to the House of Commons for a second.

[Tinoire]

4. Good. I'm glad to hear you guys say that. I haven't seen it yet.

That's good news.

Any names you can share?

[Skittles]

31. please stop with the balls stuff

if case you haven't noticed the overwhelming majority of Congress is already with male body parts; what they lack is COURAGE

[IronLionZion]

34. and nads

Women have nads too

[Festivito]

6. As he stated one of his SS dates. Many dates given, one was booed. nt.

[CWebster]

14. The date was inaccurate. nt

[liveoaktx]

7. Made a short clip of my favorite SOTU moments

which include a couple of the jeers plus Dems sitting on their hands. (with comments)

Fave SOTU 2005

[American liberal]

8. that was great! thanks!

[Kahuna]

9. Thanks! That was great.

:thumbsup:

[salin]

11. Very well done!

[cbear70]

17. that was great

I couldn't watch it... makes my stomach sick sick sick.. but that was just too much fun.. thanks for the laugh.

[Misunderestimator]

20. Hey... that's great! You should start your own thread on it...

Great clips... I hadn't seen the wink before. :thumbsup:

[Roland99]

21. wow...Laura Bush is heading up keeping kids out of gangs? WTF??

Is this Bizarro World??

[atommom]

24. Yes, it is! But I'm sure Laura will get right on it and solve that

gang problem, just like Nancy solved that old drug problem.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

27. Betty Bowers is gonna have a field day with this one!!!

[sabra]

23. That was awesome! Start a new thread, and I will nominate!

[Vickers]

35. That was hilarious

:thumbsup:

[Skidmore]

10. I heard a couple of minutes of Tweety this morning

in rerun, and he was commiserating with Scarborough about the utter rudeness of the Dems booing *--that this has never been done before. It was disgraceful.

My husband refused to watch * lie last night so we skipped the SOTU and went to bed early. I've been watching the rebroadcast on C-SPAN this a.m. and think it probably would be best to go back to bed. Its so much posturing and propagandizing by a party that knows it does not have a clear majority.

[CWebster]

12. How convenient that I feel asleep promptly at 8.

But the BBC this morning aired the catcalls coming from the Democrats and showed a shifty-eyed Bush glancing over while Dick Durbin shook his head. BBC announced the Dems were glued to their seats while the Repugs were "up and down like yoyos".

Most likely the US news media has a different slant.

[sunnystarr]

28. Lieberman wasn't glued to his seat ...

he was up and down like a yoyo and clapping loudly along with the Repukes ... made me sick!

[CWebster]

29. and smooching the Chimp apparently.

He doesn't count.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. yes when bush* said "by 2042 SS will be broke/busted" Dem's yelled NOOO

[jswordy]

22. The only ones who will benefit from Bush's SS "fix" are...

...the makers of Vaseline! Get a jar soon, to ease your "transition."

[journalist3072]

26. Yeppers he was....during his lies about SS

[DrGonzoLives]

30. Not booed

When Bush started outlining his horseshit Social Security stuff by listing the "problems" with it, the Democrats started saying "No," which I'm sure the media will call booing.

I wish someone had stood up and yelled "BULLSHIT!!!!" THAT would be fucking hilarious.

[CWebster]

33. The shot heard around the world?

One can dream.
