State of the Union Address


Tonight is the President's annual State of the Union Address. President Bush walks into to his address with a divided congress controlled by his opposing party and at the heights of impopularity. His new Iraq strategy did not go over well with the American public. A new poll shows only 1 out of 3 agree with his plan. Only 1 out of 4 approve of his handling of the crisis in Iraq. Even many republicans who are up for reelection in 2008 oppose the president's new plan of an increase of troops in Iraq. The president is likely not to speak about his new plan for Iraq tonight, and could speak about more thing he has done that is popular. The president obivously is not concerned about his numbers as he continues to do his plans as scheduled as his numbers make all time lows. The presidency also doesn't seemed to be too worried about how his legacy will be. His presidency his viewed as below average. The President only has 2 years left to turn his administration around and tonight may be the beginning pf that, however anaylists say otherwise. We will be here to give you the latest after the speech or tommorrow to tell you how things went and if the president can turn things around.
