Re: Any thoughts
I wouldn't say it was lacking in substance, but I didn't hear anything really new. The AIDS initiative was interesting, as well as the hydrogen car business. Didn't hear squat on NASA or space, other than missile defense. The real fireworks will happen when all this hits Congress, and we'll see how much survives to come out the other end. I was also waiting to see a transcript hit the net (one can now be found here) and need to cogitate on it a bit. I'm really looking forward to the intelligence briefing in a week or so.
As always, it's fun to see who in the audience applauds, and who grinds their teeth.
I have heard that Teddy the Hutt wants a revote on the Congressional approval of using force in Iraq. Now that should be interesting.
