WASHINGTON — President Bush delivers his State of the Union (search) address to Congress and the nation on Wednesday, and while domestic issues like Social Security, tax code and tort reforms as well as education priorities are expected to get a full airing, political analysts don't expect a grand foreign policy moment a là the "axis of evil" remark of 2003.

The 2003 address, in which the president named Iraq, Iran and North Korea as critical fronts in the War on Terror (search), started the United States on a new and deadly trajectory that culminated in democratic elections in Iraq on Sunday. The president also used sweeping language in his Jan. 20 inaugural speech to address the American mission against tyranny. But political observers say the president is more likely to get down to brass tacks than opine on broad treatises on Wednesday.

In any case, the president, who began practicing his speech on Sunday, is likely to seize the moment on Wednesday to declare victory for democracy, say pundits. "I assume that we will get the same persistent optimism in the face of contrary facts that we've gotten in the past," said Ellis Henican, columnist for Newsday. "I don't think we will get any frank discussion about what is now the majority view of Americans — that this war was not worth it."

Washington Times correspondent and FOX News contributor Bill Sammon said no one should expect Bush to backpedal from the inaugural address or speak in more humble terms during his address. "One thing about this president, he doesn't back away from anything," he said. "Instead he comes out with both guns blazing."

6. Sammon is on Rev. Moon's payola list. He's probably a member of his cult

also.

16. Bush's equivalent to guns a blazing - is a fart in the wind unless

he is committing other people's children to a cause. You won't find Bush actually doing any of the fighting stuff but he is really, really good at forcing other people to fight his faux battles for him. It is so easy to talk the talk when you never have to walk the walk.

He will never worry about his Social Security check. He will never face deciding between health care for his kids or eating that week, he will never try to stretch a minimum wage salary to meet the basics of life, he will never worry that he is educated or his children have good schools, he will never take a gun in his hand and face an enemy face to face, he is a weak, small-minded, paranoid, Hitler wannabe with his rhetoric and grand schemes. More importantly he is a front for PNAC that does not have the intelligence of a sock puppet.

Last week he kept telling the Iraqis to be brave, thumb their noses at the insurgents and put their lives on the line to vote in the election that means nothing. Meanwhile, back in the "freest nation on earth," King Chimpy was traversing Washington in a sealed car, in a locked down city, protected by 10,000 police just to ride a parade route to celebrate the re-election of the asshole who thinks he has a mandate. Same courage Bushy shown in the TANG. He has a history of asking people to show courage that never once in his entire live has he exhibited himself. Bushy can be summed up in four little words - he is a fool. And sorry, if you voted for this shell of a human - you are a fool, too.

I just had to get that off my chest this morning.
