State of the Union address

"I never thought they had them there in the first place. But the president is just like anyone else — he made a mistake."

Timothy Eaddy,
2100 block Webster Street

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe there were no weapons found, but they took down a man who is considered to be almost as bad as Hitler was."

Arthur Johnson,
200 block Morris Street

"[President Bush] doesn’t want to be responsible for the blame, but like Truman said, ‘The buck stops here.’"

Mike Fera,
1700 block Wolf Street

"It doesn’t matter if [Bush] was right or wrong. Saddam is a madman. The president is protecting not only our country, but many other countries from him. I think he is doing a fabulous job."

Joe Spei,
2000 block Oregon Avenue

"I don’t think he would put our men in jeopardy for something so trivial. I think he really did believe it."

Linda Morabito,
1700 block Barbara Street

"I think it’s very frightening. The president didn’t do all the things that he needed to do to make sure that this evidence was true."

Nancy Andreoli,
2900 block McKean Street
