I sure would not have wanted to be the person who wrote this speech. How do you deal with, rising oil prices, government corruption, a war that exascerbated the war on terror, the slow response to Katrina, a domestic policy that is suspect, a president who thinks he is above the law regarding wire taps, and so on. He's going to have to be a magician to pull this one out.

For once it might be a better course of action to just send the message to Congress. If one were to believe the polls, Mr. Bush is in a more precarious position than Clinton ever was. Once again I'm inclined to believe what Henry Adams said regarding President Grant: "Darwin was wrong."

Tonight President Bush Will give his speech I will watch to see him try to save himself from bad polls number he has out. Personal myself I think he did what was right during 9/11. But far as this war in Iraq I think that is just something for him to do I mean come on we have still never caught the man who did 9/11 on us. Wonder if he will adress that issue I doubt it cause anymore all he does is jump around the important issues at hand. Were getting people killed in Iraq everday and their not dieing for the right thing, they should be looking for the man who killed so many lives on 9/11 my heart goes out to the victims and their familys of 9/11 I have to say I am sorry to them as an American and justice has not been done for them by this President. He owes them each and everone a im sorry for not doing my job. Katrina Victims my heart goes to them as well they have not been served justice yet neither im sorry but my this president should have been impeached on that issue well on 9/11 then maybe we would have someone care about his own country and try to help his fellow americans out. Their is no excuse for Mr. Bush not having the man who was behind 9/11 found aready, I mean come on we have the largest military in the world and ways to find people. No excuse for way he handle getting help into Katrina victims. All I can say I can't blame the American People one bit if the rateings is down on TV watching that speech I mean he has lied to much. Facts is John Kerry could have done better I sometimes think that the Vice President could have done a better job then this President. Again it will be interesting to see what he has to say...nothing to imporant im sure cause he jumps from one thing to another always talk never action behind the talk. Again my heart goes out to Iraq Victims far as military familys goes and Katrina Victims. It saddens my heart to see our own country and president fail so many of his people who elected him back in for this bad term.

It will be a lst minute decision for me whether to watch the President speak or choose something else. Mr. Bush has had a rough year and I am anxious to see whether or not he is able to regain control. I voted for the other guy, but gave Bush high marks for the way he handled and ultimately rallied a stunned nation. Since then I have watched, and watched, and watched again and have not seen that President since. The War in Iraq, Katrina, The Supreme Court, Domestic challenges and gay marriage have all come and gone and I will continue to back the other side as I do not see this one making a big difference.

I will watch tonight. President Bush has had to deal with more adverse situations than any president I can recall. As arm chair quarter backs we all think we would do differently. But I think he has done what he felt was right to protect America. Who can ask for more? I may not always agree but I will always give him my support. Be thankful you don't have to make the decisions.

I will not watch the president tonite, because i'm tired of his lies,however i have a suggestion for peace in the world,the key to peace is to leave people in PEACE.

I believe the president will address issues that he feels will help mold his legeacy as president . He will address the war, domestic policy and other issues. The problem is the issues he will address which are the most important will not have lengthy portions to the speech. When will our troops becoming home? How will be address our domestic economic issues?
This president and his administration has long been able to fly under the radar without being taken to task for his huge failures in Iraq, gas prices, U.S. economic policy, failure with the tax break early in his term which created a huge debt burden.
I will watch and hope positive steps are taken by this president to address the "real" issues of our country.

And as our President he is going to help this country how? Who is this middle america that loves him. Have they received their electic/gas bill yet? Have they done an estimate of their taxes yet? When did they last put gas in their car? And, oh by the way - what's Bin Ladon doing lately? Hammas is now a government? Doesn't anyone see something wrong here? No - for once I will not listen because I just can't take the nonsense anymore.

I do not know if I will watch tonight. This man and his colleagues have misled the Amercian public so many times that listening to him is really a meaningless act. The only way our government is going to approach working for the people is to have a balance between the two parties serving in Washington. We have clear evidence in Washingotn that absolute power corrupts absolutley.

Regardless, of the content of the speech, the political divisiveness will only increase. With the positioning of prospective candidates for the office of the President, it is going to be a long two years. Does anyone really believe it will get any better; both sides carry an equal portion of the blame. Instead of hands across the isle, we will see barriers erected, which will resemble the Great Wall of China.

A recent study has shown that niether republican or democrat uses rationale in reaching political decisions. This empirical medical evidence, published and peer-reviewed, should be shown and explained to all viewers, prior to this speech. This should serve as a reminder that republicans watching the speech will hear only the wonderful things President George W. Bush has accomplished, while democrats will hear nothing more than many open admissions of failure by a charlatan and a cheat, whose only goal is money, power, and oil for himself.

Kinda makes you * think, huh?

(*not)

I feel that Bush is a 'war-time' President and must make decisions based on the fact that we are still at war, with an enemy that has stuck at our very heart and longs to strike again...

Security issues top all others and the issue of the NSA warrant-less phone tapping is a minor issue because the calls are only to/from people potentially linked to terrorist...

I'm thankful Mr. Bush is President at this time in our history...

I will be watching the address tonight simply because my Government teacher has made it an assignment, and we will be discussing it tomorrow. I do not care for bush. John Kerry would have made a better President, I'm tired of hearing/seeing bush studder on television.

I have heard the 'campaign of fear' one to many times to tune in this evening. He obviously won't discuss corruption/wiretapping/kidnapping/torture/no-bid contracts all the things I am interested in hearing. So why bother.

Like the House of Bourbon, the House of Bush never forgets and it never learns. We can be certain therefore that tonight's SOTU will tell us which country the president wants to invade next, and which program of our tattered social safety net he wants shredded next, too. The obvious targets are Iran and health care.

I can honestly say that I will not watch the speech tonite. It will probably be another rehash of ideas and nothing new said. Yet the majority will be enthusiastic about a nothing speech...

IF BUSK WRE SERIOUS ABOUT HEALTH CARE COSTS HE SHOULD CORRECT THE PRICE GOUGING OF SENIORS AND THE TAX PAYERS BY THE INSURANCE AND DRUG COMPANIES. EVERYONE KNOWS THE PRICES ARE INFLATED OVER 50% ABOVE THE PRICES PAID BY THE "VA" WHERE THE GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES THE PRICE.
