Bush’s Final "State of Union"
Speech |
|
|
|
|
In his
final state of union?speech Monday night, President Bush called
for quick passage of his tax rebate package. He said: "Our
economy is undergoing a period of uncertainty; at the kitchen
tables across the country, there is concern about our economic
future."
Bush also asked the American people to have patience on the Iraq
war. He made the case that his troop buildup had "achieved
results few of us could have imagined just one year ago."
Seven years have passed since George Bush arrived in Washington
from Texas with the promise to be a “uniter and not a divider.”
But today the nation is facing an unpopular war while also
dealing with a serious downturn in the economy.
Bush also called for his signature on the education bill, “No
Child Left Behind.” He suggested that the GI education bill
benefit could be transferred to spouses and children of military
personnel.
These are the final days of the Bush administration. His legacy
will depend on what he has done for the Nation.
