Bush rhapsodized, in his State of the Union address, "Julie represents the great enterprising spirit of America." A tradition dating to the Reagan administration required the president to recognize a few American heroes during his annual speech to Congress. Seated alongside Aigner-Clark in the House visitor's gallery were Wesley Autrey, who had leapt in front of a New York City subway train to rescue a complete stranger, and Army Sgt. Tommy Reiman, who had repelled an enemy attack in Iraq with two legs full of shrapnel and bullet wounds in his arms and chest.truenotochyperlinkno2009102563348PMSundayOctOctober1810/25/2009 10:33:48 PM6339209242800000002009102563348PMSundayOctOctober1810/25/2009 10:33:48 PM633920924280000000chatterboxThe Paradox of Health ReformTimothy Noah1/123122/2202502/noaht.gif4242http://img.slate.com/mediafalse20091123111516AMMondayNovNovember1111/23/2009 4:15:16 PM63394571716870484920091123111516AMMondayNovNovember1111/23/2009 4:15:16 PM63394571716870484920091123111516AMMondayNovNovember1111/23/2009 4:15:16 PM633945717168704849false2008101711643PMFridayOctOctober1310/17/2008 5:16:43 PM6335984620300000002008101711643PMFridayOctOctober1310/17/2008 5:16:43 PM633598462030000000falseEmployer-based health insurance is dying.

Beck's own 9/12 message is a Capraesque plea, backed by swelling music, to restore the values of the Founding Fathers, with some vague darker stuff mixed in about "quarantining" Washington as you would a patient with swine flu. (Beck here hints ominously that swine flu is a phony conspiracy to inhibit public assembly.)
