If that's all the Post has to criticize about the Prez's speech then I'm glad that Bush is our president. For myself, I thought it was one of the better SotU speeches I've heard. Rather than a collection of soundbite-sized one liners puncuated by 30 seconds of applause, it had lots of compound clauses connected together into whole paragraphs. I bet you didn't know Bush could do that. I could break down the above article point-by-point, but all it comes down to is the president exaggerated some things saying we're better off than we actually are, but on balance we're doing pretty damn good as a nation.
