I am not a very political person, but I am trying to remain in the loop. When i saw this... I almost fell off my chair. Talk about embarrassing. How does the leader of our nation deliver a 5600 word speech to the world and then "quietly" retract it? I am embarrassed for him. I am embarrassed for our country. Somewhere in the caves of Afganistan, Osama is laughing his ass off. Our forefathers must be rolling over in their graves.
When I shared this story with a co-worker, her response was, "next thing you know he will retract any responsibility for the last and next few years in office."
This seems odd and I wonder if something HUGE is about to happen. Mark my words.
Here is the story... I could hardly believe it.
White House Quietly Retracts Entire State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, DC—In a brief statement faxed to major media outlets at approximately 11:50 p.m. Friday, the White House retracted the entire 5,600-word State of the Union address delivered by President Bush last Tuesday. "This includes all components of the address, and is not limited to the president's congratulations to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or his plan to give more Americans affordable health care through tax cuts, which has since been deemed infeasible," the statement read in part. "Furthermore, the president's urge for bipartisanship as well as his final statement about the state of the union being 'strong' are hereby stricken from the public record." Like the State of the Union address itself, the White House's retraction has not yet become a significant national news story.
