A little fun with past State of the Union addresses:

“Let this be our national goal: At the end of this decade, in the year [fill in the blank!], the United States will not be dependent on any other country for the energy we need to provide our jobs, to heat our homes, and to keep our transportation moving.”

“[Saddam Hussein’s] war machine is crushed. His ability to threaten mass destruction is itself destroyed.”

“We will defend our security wherever we are threatened, as we did this summer when we struck at Usama bin Ladin’s network of terror.”
