The State of the Union is better than you thought

President Bush gave his State of the Union address this evening and it is much better than the media has led us to believe. The economy is clearly better than polls would suggest.

I fear that Democrats are too invested in defeat to embrace that new strategy.

In his introduction of heroes one was a current Houston Rocket Dikembe Mutombo. He acknowledge his work in building a hospital in his native Africa.
