For a change of pace, today's radio address topic from Junior is "TERRA"
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/12/20041204.html

"THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Since the attacks of September the 11th, 2001, American military forces, intelligence officers, and law enforcement officials have defended our country with skill and honor, and have taken the fight to terrorists abroad. Here at home, we have created the Department of Homeland Security, strengthened our defenses, and improved the collection and analysis of vital intelligence. Yet we must do more.

To protect America, our country needs the best possible intelligence. The recommendations of the 9/11 Commission chart a clear, sensible path toward needed reforms to our government's intelligence capabilities. I strongly support most of those recommendations, and my administration is already implementing the vast majority of those that can be enacted without a vote of Congress. In August, I established the National Counterterrorism Center, where all the available intelligence on terrorist threats is brought together in one place. Just last month, I issued two directives instructing the FBI and CIA to hire new personnel, and to press forward with the transformation of these agencies to meet the threats of our time.

We have made great progress against the terrorists who seek to harm our nation. We are safer, but we are not yet safe. The enemy is still plotting, and America must respond with urgency. We must do everything necessary to confront and defeat the terrorist threat, and that includes intelligence reform. By remaining focused and determined in these efforts, we will strengthen the safety of our citizens and defend our nation from harm."



Terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, terra, be afraid, CONSUME, good night.

3. No, I check the transcripts on the White House Web Site...
...just to see what garbage he's spewing.

I'd never listen to the actual radio address. His soothing and reassuring tones would probably be too much for me.

:evilgrin:

2. Hey Gee-orge read any good memos lately?
Just in case that recount in Ohio starts stinking.


He looks like Tom Brokaw in that pic.
