And of course he was a budding capitalist and conservative in his political persuasion. Sounds like me in the early ‘80s. Fast forward 30 years and I am still watching presidential State of the Union speeches, even the ones given by those who I differ with ideologically. And regardless of a president’s ideology, I am always in awe of the institution and history that “the state of the union” presents. I get caught up in the pageantry, poetry and hope that most of the 30-plus speeches I have seen over my lifetime offer. The next day, however, reality sets in. Regardless of whether I agree with the majority of the speech or disagree with the speech, I am more and more burdened by the misdirection, the half-truths, the rhetoric, etc. Just consider the last few given by our current president and those of President Bush. Both always delivered eloquent, and for the most part, inspiring speeches. But the partisan tone is so apparent that the substance of the points being presented become tainted.Alex P Keaton - News

She was like Alex P. Keaton in that “Family Ties” episode where he has two dates in different parts of the restaurant, and keeps running back and forth in an attempt to satisfy both as if the other didn't exist. I laughed at the negative ad by Meg
Family Ties-style, Foreman's parents are hippies, making her put-together, young Republican, distaff Alex P. Keaton image seem inertly contrarian and vaguely rebellious. But she's more like her sandal-wearing folks than she realizes, seeming to crave
