A brief, completely uninteresting speech. Nothing new or exciting - about what I would have expected from a completely lame duck President.
It's a shame that, due to the silly term-based nature of the American government, we have an almost entirely pointless year ahead of us. We'll get lots of campaigning, but very little in the way of ongoing government work.
Another year of Iraqi mishaps - as soon as we stop paying the militias, they are going to turn on the government forces there.
Another year of no solutions to the questions of illegal immigration, as people stream across the border in order to be overworked, unpaid, exploited by the corporations who couldn't maintain profit margins without them. The worst of all possible worlds.
Another year of fiscal irresponsibility, as we foolishly throw money at those who need it least - oil companies, big agro, big pharma, to ensure that they...I don't know quite what. Can keep handsomely rewarding their executives and shareholders for doing the tough service of producing products that enable them to make record profits, year after year?
Let's hope Sebalius' response is a bit more exciting. More on that in a sec.

Um, yeah. Bush made it sound like these local militias were engaged as volunteers of their own volition, when in fact we are paying them to be our eyes, ears, enforcers. Not that I object, but it's not all the roses and democracy in the picture Bush painted.
