Bush's Final State of the Union

I read an article in CNN which was about the final state of the union address that the president of the United States delivers to the nation every year on January. In his speech the president Bush spoke about the situation in the country focusing in some topic such as: economy, Iraq, expenses, external politics, education, terrorism and the army. The president Bush emphasized in economy of the country considering that in this moment American economy is “in a period of uncertainty”, he encouraged American citizens to believe that the situation will change, “In the long run, Americans can be confident about our economic growth. But in the short run, we can all see that growth is slowing” he said. He mentioned some of the politics that the congress should approve trade agreement with Colombia.

Bush's Final State of the Union

In the last year of his government the president Bush talked about economic politics, he said “he would cut or eliminate 151 "wasteful or bloated" government programs in his budget for 2009 -- cuts he said would total $18 billion of a budget that amounted to $3 trillion in 2008” He also encouraged to the “lawmakers to work together” even though in a few months the country will have a new president. Considering that the economy in the United States is in a very hard situation (according to the president Bush), it is a worrying situation not only for American citizens but also for the world.
