Ask a Robot: The State of our Union

Last night (Tuesday, January 23), President George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union address to Congress and the American people. He declared victory in the War for Dikembe Mutombo's Citizenship to great applause, sending a wave of good feeling throughout the land.

With that hard-fought battle behind us, President Bush proposed bold new initiatives opening fronts in the War on Earmarks, the War on Junk Lawsuits Against Good Doctors, the War on Gasoline Usage, the War for the Right to Mention 9/11 At Any Time, and re-doubling our nation’s commitment to the War on the Deficit among others.

Today, as we wake up as a country living in a new world. Rock Heals turns to the robot community for their reactions to our President’s aggressive agenda. Opinions were surely mixed.
