State of the "Union"

I was overwhelmed by the president's use of divisive rhetoric in the State of the Union address. Those of us who disagree vehemently with his policies on the war are calling for "retreat" and are warped by a "false comfort of isolationism." A democrat's call for an open analysis of our policies is now called second guessing. Guess what? An intelligent and confident president could make a reasoned and persuasive argument for his policies instead of the all too easy "if you disagree with me you must be totally full of shit" approach.

Good thing no one else paid attention.
