State of the Propoganda Speech Last Night

Last night George W. Bush gave his last state of the union address. I have a simple question. Was it the state of the union, or was it the state of Bush's media/misinformation campaign? He referenced the inked hands of free iraqis (most of which were killed or fled the country after proudly displaying their thumbs for the world media) from years ago. He talked about lowering taxes and cutting earmarks, then he went right into how to better spend American tax money he says we don't or shouldn't have. He talked about cutting "entitlements" which is what politicians call social security when they need to cut benefits but don't want to piss off any of the baby boomers. He contradicted himself no less than three times (within five minutes). First, he prompted congress to set aside their partisan differences then guaranteed a veto of any pork-filled bill from the democratic congress knowing he'd never vetoed one from the republican led congress. Then he tap-danced around some statistics from the no child left behind law. Look I know some educators...my sister has a PhD in education, and no child left behind has done nothing but remove money from the poorest of school districts. The saavy ones just train the kids to pass the achievement tests and don't worry about educating children. Those are the schools who get the money, and parents at those schools are still responsible for 80% of the school's administrative costs (what do you think they do with the hundreds of dollars per child you spend on supplies you never see again?). My child can't even bring pencils home anymore, nor notebook paper. I guess those tax cuts for the top 1% of Americans had to come from somewhere. That's Bush's secret weapon. Cut taxes and then pull funding. It would appear that this is highly irresponsible government, to say the least. If the cut results in some lack of oversight or less thorough enforcement of regulations and the result is a catastrophe then, like Bush, you can use the guise of beurocracy to cover your ass, then blame the beurocratic process for the trouble in the first place (a huge bridge collapse comes to mind). Wake up, America....damnit, you have been lulled into a false sense of apathy by a president who can't even pronounce the word "nuclear". Or we can just wait for proof in the form of a debtor economy and authoritative government hell-bent on keeping control for one party or the other. (a political "mushroom cloud" over washington D.C., if you will) At the end, the huge question I found myself asking was...."why again was impeachment taken off the table?"
