A quick digest of President Bush's State of the Union Address tonight yields little. It was relatively unsubstantive. For a more thorough analysis see Jonathan's response to the State of the Union address.
In short, the positive items Bush addressed were:
-He called on Hamas to recognize Israel, to disarm, and act peacefully.
-He asked the global community to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.
-He made a relatively strong statement about securing the border and decreasing illegal immigration.
-He called on Congress to pass a ban on human cloning
The negative:
-Nothing very strong was said, it was a pretty touchy-feely goody speech with warm fuzzies.
-He used the No Child Left Behind Act as an example of success
-He subconsciously pushed for more "free trade."
-He pushed for a guest worker program
