Liveblogging the State of the Union

"Tonight Bush will say that America is addicted to oil" - Carl Cameron, FOX News

Cindy Sheehan has been removed from the gallery and detained, now barred from seeing the State of the Union.

Mr Speaker, The President of the United States!

First comments are geared towards Mrs. King, and her reunion with her husband.

There needs to be a working together of those in government - "The state of the Union is strong, but we will make it stronger...be not shying away from terror...and by leading the world economy...the USA will continue to lead"

War on Terror and the need for democracy:

"every step makes our country safer...the advancement of freedom is the great story of our time...eriting a new chapter on the book of self government...half of the world lives in democracy, but we do not forget the other half..."

"the terrorists use the weapon of fear, hoping to break our will so that the violent will inherit the earth, but we love our freedom and will fight to keep it...it we leave them alone, they will not leave us alone...there is no peace nor honor in retreat...the USA will not retreat from the world nor surrender to evil"

"once again we accecpt the call of history, the call to bring peace."

Iraq

- Rebuilding the Economy
- Striking at the Terrorists

"The road of victory is the road that will bring our troops home. A sudden withdrawl...would show that a pledge from America means little, we must keep our word, defeat our enemies and stand behind the military in this vital mission"

Honoring of Dan Clay who was killed in Iraq last year...recognizing the family.

"Only way to defeat the terrorists is to defeart their dark vision of terror and fear. Election is the way to go, Hammas must acknowledge Israel, disarm, and work for lasting peace. Liberty is the way in the middle east, for it is the hope and right of all humanity"

Iran

"Sponsoring terror must come to an end and the nations of the world must not permit Iran to gain nuclear weapons...hopes to be the closest of friends with a free and democratic Iran"

Economy

"Economy is heathy and vigorus, having created 4 million + jobs, more than the EU and Japan combined. Protectionism is not the way."

Imigration

"Stronger border protection"

Health Care

"Confront the rising cost, insurance coverage, improve provider/providee relationship...make coverage portable...need to pass medical liability reform this year"

Energy

America is addicted to oil...will invest more in clean coal plants, wind, and nuclear energy. Reduce foreign oil dependence by 75% by 2025

May God Bless America
