Bill, Presidents traditionally use their State of the Union speeches to boost their future programs, and to boast about their past achievements (which involves taking credit for good things that have happened, and disclaiming responsibility for the bad). Clinton, certainly, is not one to ignore his boasting rights.<g> But I did not hear him claiming credit for any and all progress on spinal cord injuries, in particular. As I wrote earlier, I do not think the following sentence constitutes such a claim: "It is important for all Americans to recognize that your tax dollars have fuelled this research." U.S. funding of medical research did not begin with Clinton, after all. His point, I thought, was that he wants to step it up. Instead of asking me to deny your assertion, if I can, why don't you prove it, if you can (with quotations from the actual text of the adddress itself). Joan
