I agree that this certainly was not his best speech - but that would have
been quite difficult given the high standards that he has already set for
himself.
Plus, a lot of observers have noted that Bush looked quite tired yesterday.
I think that the war is definitely taking its toll on him, which
definitely hurt his delivery.
Nevertheless, the scope of the speech is simply amazing - Reform of
Medicare, Tax Cuts, Treatment of AIDS in Africa, and a detailed case for
war in Iraq. I thought that he did a very good job of laying out the
challeneges ahead for America, and rallying our country towards meeting
those challenges.

Would you have preferred Nazism?
