I did not watch "State of the Union", but it would be hard to imagine any modern politician, especially the President of the Unites States saying anything near that. It's never been in my interest to contradict a grown teacher either, but in this case i'm pretty sure you're exaggerating a little too much. I'll have to look at what he said before I say any more... But in the mean time:

Maybe it is you who should take his head out of his ass and start looking around. you may be young, but that is no excuse for sheer unadulterated fucking stupidity............Maybe....just maybe, you should wake up to the fact that for over two hundred years the US has stood as a bulwark against the those countries with tyrannical dictactorships and oppressive governments, who torture their own people, lock them away without giving them any rights, spy on their every move. Today, we are one with those countries, with the president believing that he is above the law, able to ignore any law he deems to be combersome or out of date. He signs orders to imprison US citizens without justification or probable cause, locks them away indefinitely, without the right to consult with an attorney, or to have any contact with the outside world whatsoever. Signs orders for the establishment of secret prisons around the world, set up to do who knows what, other than torture and cause the death of those they have seized. He has set in motion orders which allowed for the torture and death of dozens of men in Iraqi and Afgan prisons and then when exposed, allowed his higher ups to make some lower level grunts the fall guys. He has in coordination with this policy, issued orders that the US no longer abides by the Geneva Conventions. He signs new anti-torture legislation, and then remarks that if he chooses, he will not abide by such a law. He has set up secret spying programs in violation of existing laws of the US and then uses his SOU to thumb his nose at his critics, believing that since the Republicans control all branches of government, he is totally untouchable. All in the lame assed notion of "protecting" we fellow Americans, in a bullshit nebulous "war" on terrorism. He took us into a war in Iraq on completely fabricated grounds. This, you may not remember, was a sovereign nation, which in turn, makes this an illegal and unjustified war. Therefore, by this definition, Bush, et. al., could justifyably be tried as War Criminals in the World Court. Iraq has become a breeding ground for young men fomenting and lining up to be the next World Trade Center bombers. War on terror, my ass. This insane war in Iraq has increased the threat to the US a thousandfold and may have repercussions for generations to come. Remember that as maybe some of your relatives are blown up by some islamic terrorist, hell bound on getting even with the US for invading a muslim country without justification. These people think and hold grudges not for years, but for entire generations. Wake up you fucking lil rightwing moron! Maybe it is you who needs to learn something.......learn that this president is one of the most dangerous men ever to hold the office. We can only hope and pray that he is impeached ASAP.
