The President will discuss the extraordinary challenges our country has faced and the
historic achievements we have made. Yet he will also stress that there.s much more for
our country to do:
"America this evening is a Nation called to great responsibilities. And we are rising
to meet them."
"We have not come all this way - through tragedy, and trial, and war - only to falter
and leave our work unfinished. Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they
expect the same of us."
He will also remind the American people that we are a Nation still at war, and our
government is meeting its responsibility to protect the American people:
"Our greatest responsibility is the active defense of the American people.
Twenty-eight months have passed since September 11, 2001 - over two years without an
attack on American soil - and it is tempting to believe that the danger is behind us.
That hope is understandable, comforting - and false."
"...America is on the offensive against the terrorists..."
"As part of the offensive against terror, we are also confronting the regimes that
harbor and support terrorists, and could supply them with nuclear, chemical, or
biological weapons."
"...Because of American leadership and resolve, the world is changing for the better."
He will discuss the progress we're making in Afghanistan and Iraq, and renew our
commitment to ensuring those countries are free and peaceful:
"The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and
fighting terror."
"The work of building a new Iraq is hard, and it is right. And America has always been
willing to do what it takes for what is right."
On priorities here at home, the President will discuss why he's optimistic about our
growing economy, and call on Congress to take action that will help turn our economic
recovery into a lasting recovery. He will call on them to help train Americans for the
jobs of the 21st Century:
"America's growing economy is also a changing economy. As technology transforms the
way almost every job is done, America becomes more productive, and workers need new
skills. We must respond by helping more Americans gain the skills to find good jobs in
our new economy."
President Bush will also discuss the importance of health care and the major cause for
why Americans lack health insurance: the rising costs of health care.
"On the critical issue of health care, our goal is to ensure that Americans can choose
and afford private health care coverage that best fits their individual needs. To make
insurance more affordable, Congress must act to address rapidly rising health care
costs."
Finally, the President will argue that in a time of great change in our country and
world, the things that make our country strong should never change:
"We are living in a time of great change. Yet some things endure - courage and
compassion, reverence and integrity, respect for differences of faith and race. The
values we try to live by never change. And they are instilled in us by fundamental
institutions, such as families, and schools, and religious congregations. These
institutions - the unseen pillars of civilization - must remain strong in America."
"All of us - parents, schools, government - must work together to counter the negative
influence of the culture, and to send the right messages to our children."
