What an Awesome President We Have

President Bush today gets a standing ovation while giving one hellava powerful, passionate speech. Now, it is time for our useless Congress, with the lowest rating ever, to get off their butts and get to work IMMEDIATELY.
In my opinion, these detainees are treated too good....they should be on a chain gang...serving hard labor....without a Koran in their hand. We are speaking of the worst of the worst....evil and brutal killers in the world.
