2. To me he is a true hero. |

He didn't deserve to be lumped in with Baby Einstein! WTF?

11. The American Dream -- sell to Disney |
|
starting a successful business is admirable and there is nothing wrong with selling to Disney. But it sure seems like a strange reason to be honored at the SOTU.

12. I have seen a lot of people perform some incredibly heroic acts, but that guy |
|
just blows me away.
There has been no time in my life when I would have had the sheer selfless bravery that Mr Autrey exhibited that day.

17. I agree. Whenever I reflect on what he did, I get goosebumps. |
|
I can't quite articulate how profound his actions feel to me. A true selfless hero. :patriot:

I seriously doubt he's a Repuke. I saw him on Letterman the night he was on.

15. I wonder who it was he was pointing to |
|
He deserved the applause. Bush didn't.

He may be a Bush supporter. But that's okay. He's still an awesome hero and I won't hold that against him. When he appeared on Letterman he mentioned something about how the troops are fighting for our freedom stuff. You know the usual repug talking points.

but I took his comments on Letterman to be more of a "support the troops" thing, not necessarily an endorsement of the war.

20. Me too. Let's face it - anyone that brave and giving is nothing like Bush. |

21. You're probably right. |

I didn't catch the part about him being a vet. Thanks.
