President Bush - the last "state of the union"

Watching him speak at his last state of the union address, it feels like as if he is more adamant to push forward the targets and agendas he had set forth the last time he was standing at the same spot, but it definitely does not look like a President of the United States of America with approval ratings of less than 30 percent. He is looking stronger than ever before. He talked about everything, education, health, taxes, jobs, war, peace, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran.

While some might take it as threats, some might say that its all about holding your interests dear to you and to the nation that you serve. But I wonder who writes these speeches, who researches on them? Has there ever been a time when leaders wrote their own speeches, that came straight from their heart and experiences and wisdom? But again, the bottom line is that we can talk about Sudan and Cuba and Burma, but how much are we truly doing to make peoples lives better there and over here?

And yes we cannot ignore the good that the present and the past Presidents have brought but Bill Gates did more for trying to eradicate Malaria and HIV from the world than what most Presidents have done, even though they hold the power to do more, so much more than what we can ever imagine, thats why we call them... Mr. President.
