Sir,

In an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, Speaker of the House NancyPelosi hit the nail on the head when she said "Huge deficits. An endlesswar. I don't know what else he has to offer."
She was, of course speaking of President Bush's State of the Union speech which he delivered Monday night. Her words are exactly what so manyAmericans think. Is it even worth watching when nothing new will be said and certainly nothing will be accomplished?
The obvious answer is yes, in fact it is most important to watch the president speak, there is nothing more disheartening than the ignorant fool who criticizes without having anything to back it up. However, there is a grander message in this disdainful outlook on the presidents speech. That he is washed up. It's over for Mr. Bush. We are a forward looking society and have our eyes on the next president. One who will lead us to economic stability, fairer education, health care reform and a cleaner environment.
Mr. Bush of course mentioned these difficult issues in his speech. However, he devoted the majority of the speech addressing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These endless, ruthless tales of misguidance. When the rest of the country is putting the economy at the top of their list of concerns, why is it that Mr. Bush continues to try and put fear intoAmerican families in order to gain support for his war on oil?
Mr. Bush boasted about the tax relief agreement the Whitehouse and Congress recently came to, which is good, but as many economists have said, it is too little too late.The economy is not the only thing that Mr. Bush failed to adequatelyaddress. Health care and education do not seem to be important issues in his mind, regardless of the fact that the United States is becoming inferior to other developed countries in both areas. Rather than giving money to some to be used to pay for private education, perhaps we shouldtry to make our public schools more appealing to the upper and middleclass. Or as Mr. Bloomerge has done in New York City, try a kind of charter school. As Mr. Bush tried to boast of the accomplishments of the No Child Left Behind bill and ask for more support of it in the future, itwas difficult not to think of the uninsured children that, although they may not be being left behind by our low educational standards, they are indeed being left in the dust when their parents cannot afford the proper medical care they need.
It is important to remember that, as was mentioned before, Mr. Bush is on his way out. So, Dave, Mr. Bush is the one being left behind. As are the people who have his same antiquated train of thought. What we are doing is clearly not working, we must (and we will) find a way that will change the course our country is on.
Don't let the Democrats dupe you however. They are merely friendly advocates for the devil. The better of two evils perhaps, but nonetheless, spineless thoughtless parasites living off our support. It's time for us to wake up and force our political leaders to make the necessary changes the will benefit all of us, not just the rich.
As for Mr. Bush i think he is a waste of intelligent thought and I refuse to mention him this blog ever again. From this point forward, Mr. Bush is off limits, I refuse to waste my readers time by discussing a man who is merely a puppet going out of style. Have a nice life Mr. Bush.

Brian
