Will Pres. Bush Take the Opportunity of Last State of the Union Address to Apologize to the American People?

Pres. Bush will look into the camera in his patented deer-in-the-headlights look that befits a man who knows he is consistently out of his element and spends all his time marveling at how he hasn't yet been caught and deliver a State of the Union address for the final time tonight. By the way, if he really wants to do us all a favor, I would like to suggest a succinct and to the point speech that sums up the entire state of the union.

"My fellow Americans, the state of America sucks. And I don't have a clue what to do about it. Good night."

Of course, he won't say that, nor will he take my other suggestion to heart. With just one more lame duck year left in his debacle, Mr. Bush faces another several hundred unnecessary deaths of young soldiers in Iraq...Afghanistan...Pakistan...and possibly even Iraq. The economy has been tanking for seven years and the only plan he can come up with is rob Peter next year to pay Peter this year. Gasoline prices may very well have quadrupled from his first state of the union address back in 2001; already the doubling of gas prices during one President's term is unprecedented. In short, instead of using phony statistics to belie the truth about this failures, and instead of making even more promises he can't keep, what Mr. Bush should do tonight during his state of the union speechifying is 1) avoid mispronouncing the word nuclear, and 2) apologize to America.
