Tonight, President Bush will mercifully deliver his final State of the Union address. According to press secretary Dana Perino, Bush’s speech will “reflect the president’s mindset that he is going to sprint to the finish.” Given former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ similar promise to “spend the next year and a half in a sprint to the finish line” just weeks before his resignation, Perino’s preview may prove a bad omen for the President.

Anticipated to emphasize the slowing economy and the war in Iraq, the goals of the speech are said to be “modest.” The President’s dual needs to begin rewriting his legacy and badger Democrats in an election year suggest the direction and tenor of the SOTU. Still, we face the annual question: what will Bush cover in his address?
