SOU

Politically, it was a home run.

And from a war standpoint, I could have asked for no more.

From a policy standpoint, I found it disappointing on the domestic front.

While it was general and thematic, the themes were definitely not federalist or classically liberal ones--we, the federal government, are responsible for security, local and national; we, the federal government, are responsible for your health care; we, the federal government, are responsible to see that you have a job, or get prescription drugs, or don't get screwed if the company you work for goes under. We, the federal government, are responsible for your lives--not you.

On the other hand, it's good political strategy. It looks to me like Rove & Co. have made a political judgment that they want to put the Dems in a box, and take back the Senate, and build their strength in the House. We didn't get into this socialist mess overnight, and we won't get out of it quickly either. I'm willing to wait until 2005 to start to roll back this crap--I just wish that I had some sense that this was really what they're planning...
