Review of the State of the Union Address

Note to President Bush: The word you're looking for is history, not histry. Also, again nuclear, not nucular.

Mr. Bush began the speech preaching bi-partisanship and then gave a nearly entirely conservative agenda. He again called for bi-partisanship, but on his own terms.

Mr. Bush reserved the right to attack any country that is not "democratic." However, he did urge the Iranian people to stand up against their government, instead of threatening attack as he did with Iraq.

There was one reference to the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. It came nearly 50 minutes into a 51 minute speech. It lasted less than one minute. I think this further proves the goverment's lack of concern for the people of the Gulf Coast.

The only bright spot of the speech came when Mr. Bush called for research for alternative energy and to lessen America's dependence on foreign oil. However, following through with this pledge is another thing entirely.
