KS Gov Kathleen Sebelius' Democratic Response to SOTU

transcript: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/0...

"I'm Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of the State of Kansas.

And I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you tonight.

I'm a Democrat, but tonight, it really doesn't matter whether you think of yourself as a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent. Or none of the above.

Instead, the fact you're tuning in this evening tells me each of you is, above all, an American, first.

You are mothers, and fathers. Grandparents and grandchildren. Working people and business-owners. Americans, all.

And the American people - folks like you and me - are not nearly as divided as our rancorous politics might suggest. [...]

We are Americans sharing a belief in something greater than ourselves, a nation coming together to meet challenges and find solutions; to share sacrifices and share prosperity; and focus, once again, not only on the individual good but on the common good.

On behalf of the new American majority - the majority of elected officials at the national, state and local level, and the majority of Americans - we ask you, Mr. President, to join us. We are ready to work together, to be the America we have been - and can be once again.

Thank you for listening. God bless and sleep well. And in the morning, let's get to work."

Don't say bad things about Sebelius. I don't know her personally but I can tell that she is a very caring lady. I met someone who resembles her enough to pass for her sister. This lady I met was so kind to me even though she'd just known me for a short time. Like a long-lost friend. Anyway, Sebelius seems very, very nice. Don't say bad things about her. Pleeeease. DON'T SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT SEBELIUS!!!!! And I am thrilled to the bone that she is our Health & Human Services Secretary.

Another tax thief and baby killer...I bet Overbite is creaming in his pants.

I cant believe we are letting these types run things.

Sebelius is an abortion fanatic. She sucks and so does Osama Obama.

[TuskegeeNorth]

This is what true leadership looks like and sounds like! Thank God for change!

Nice way to apply a lil history there sebelius. fireside chats?? Anywayz she's pretty much responsible for salvia being illegal here. Even though no studies have really been done.. I hope it doesn't cure cancer.. Soon it will probably be outlawed everywhere because ONE kid supposedly became depressed by it and killed himself. Making plants illegal is outrageous and I lose respect real fucking quick
