State of the Union Address grades a W

2007's State of the Union Address was quite interesting, as George W. Bush played his role as the President of the United States of America quite convincingly, though one could have easily fell asleep to it as it just seemed to drone on and on with no end in sight, with little in actual substance, but lots in style as I guess that is what it really is about, trivia was key that night, as it was the first address to female Speaker of the House ever in American history and Democrat Majority Congress since 1994.

GWB spoke domestically on taxes, immigration and oil, especially on how they would have to work as one nation towards finding alternative fuels, which is something I have never been able to figure out, such a great civilization as our America never has been able to create an open, free and voluntarily competitive market within industry for the supply and demand of environmentally safer products, imagine the amount of companies, management and jobs built just to make cars powered by reclamated sea water, private homes and public buildings cooled or heated by solar, small traditional farms and big classic factories using wind to boost productivity, using renewable biomass energy from natural living organisms or their metabolic byproduct sources for most anywhere, mini or micro hydro plants from the smallest public waterways and also along with conservation through means of reduce, reuse and recycle, the energy efficient enterprise is one not only being sound on economic merits but also ones for the environment too as well.

He stood by his same old story on the foreign affairs front, despite being a protectionist or isolationist on the economic political order, yet he is also quite the globalist or interventionlist on the social political order, as we know all Right-Left Republicrat or Democans have no traditional spectrum, asking for more aid and involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur, that immediately rules him out as Jeffersonian, but then his attacks against true global guilds like the United Nation has him locked out from being either a Hamiltonian or Wilsonian, therefore he would have to be a Jacksonian, though I believe Walter R. Meade just may have missed another influential American statesman, who epitomize principles of a lost school of American foreign policy thought, to create a Rooseveltite, as he would stand for little to no policy on foreign affairs like Jackson or Jefferson, yet as Hamilton and Wilson differ slightly, would build a model of progressively democratic reform within its own republic, a sort of a Pax Americana when at peace and a Bellum Americanum when at war, showing others how best to act on the global stage and this is why I give Bush a grade of "W" on his State of the Union Address for 2007.
