Just one general reaction pertaining to the State of the Union and the Democratic response...
Both speech and response focused on one obvious question: "What is the state of our country?" President Bush argued in the positive, citing primarily the economic growth that our country has experienced. Senator Webb argued in the negative, citing the obvious case in Iraq, as well as attempting to prove that the economy is not faring as well as many think.
Is it just me, or do the Republicans and Democrats always seem to gravitate toward the poles of optimism and pessimism, respectively?
Let's hope that those outlooks are reflective of inner dispositions as well.
