What should Bush have said in his State of the Union?

A major challenge for Bush in his address to Congress was simply being heard when many Americans already are looking beyond him to the next president.
Was that the case as you listened to Bush’s speech? Did you listen? And is there something you thought Bush should have said that he didn’t say?
