State of the Union - Too little too late

The president gave his state of the union speech this evening. All these new ideas - at least new for him. It would have been a great message when he was re-elected, rather than I have a mandate and "I'm goin do what I want." It all feels like its too little and too late. You have to wonder were all this was during the last six years. At least it is only 727 days, 14 hours, 17 minutes until election 2008.

In contrast, the author David Brin has some pretty good ideas of what the new congress could accomplish in its first 100 days. Its definitely worth the read.

I liked the Contract with America bit and the earmarks stuff, too. The bit about adult discussion being too much for the neocons seemed to ignore Atrios, Kos, Rosie O'Donnell...
