Bush is speaking about that Thursday.  He gave a sneak preview of his objectives for his next term yesterday and said they were part of his Thursday speech.

What could they possibly say?

Quote
Since he took office, 1.2 million people in America have lost their jobs, bringing the total to 8.2 million.

The number of Americans living below the poverty line has increased by 4.3 million to 35.9 million - 12.9 million of them children.

The number of Americans with no health insurance has increased by 5.8 million - with 1.4 million losing their insurance in 2003. The total now stands at 45 million.

Forty percent of the 3.5 million people who were homeless at some point last year were families with children, as were 40 percent of those seeking emergency food assistance.

Median household income has fallen more than $1,500 in inflation-adjusted terms in the last three years, and the wages of most workers are now falling behind inflation.

Average tuition for college has risen by 34 percent, while 37 percent of fourth graders read at a level considered "below basic."

One third of the president's $1.7 trillion in tax cuts benefits only the top 1 percent of wealthiest Americans.

Yeah.  Clinton left him a mess.  It's looking better, though.

It certainly did.  He stopped the downward slide Clinton stuck him with and turned it around.
