Ok what word were NOT in the speech that would have if Bush gave it?

[southernleftylady]

1. Terrorism
not once that I heard...

[meegbear]

1. 9/11 ...

ok, that's more than one word, but it'd be there.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

2. Terra... Nucular...

[baldguy]

4. That would half the speech right there.

[hobbit709]

3. Uhh...

[justabob]

5. unpatriotic/unamerican

on edit: evildoer

[pnwmom]

6. evil-doer, folks, moral(s), homeland, ownership, ownership-society

[pipi_k]

7. Five years ago the buzzword from Bush was

"resolve"

I grew to HATE that word.

Also, like the others already stated, there was no reference to:

enemies
terra
terrists
9/11
nucular


In fact, my ears were delighted ..after eight long years...to finally hear a president who can actually speak English.

That alone must drive the Freepers crazy.

Not that a whole lot of them will probably be watching/listening to Obama's speeches anyway. But those who do, I hope they notice the difference in the amount of respect is given to people who can speak without sounding like Jethro Clampett.

8. Homeland

I hate that word

[nxylas]

9. Misunderestimated

Or strategery.

[Union Yes]

10. A flag pin the size of Texas.

And gynocologists practicing their love for women.

[Sinistrous]

11. One word barely used in the speech is

"I". Aside from the opening paragraph, I found one: "Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real."
