Just more lies and distortions from our President.
If I wanted to consider the real state of the nation, I don't need to listen to Bush, but to the people of the nation who are trying to spread the truth.
Since 2001, American median income is down by more than $1,000 a year
The number of Americans in poverty is up 5 millon people to 36 million
The amount of consumer credit has almost doubled in the past 7 years
The foreclosure rate on single family homes is 68 percent higher than it was in 2001
There are 3 million fewer manufacturing jobs now than in 2000
Between 1992-2000 there were an average of 1.76 million new private sector jobs created each year; between 2001-2008 that average was down to 369,000
And there is much more.
I suspect that these details were not motioned last night

The thing I noticed about the SOTU was that it was almost totally devoid of new material. Most of the stuff Bush was saying was said in 2003. "We must defeat the terrorists. We must have more tax cuts. We must eliminate pork."
But as long as that 30% core is still there, I guess nothing matters.
