President Bush’s last SOTU tonight….or is it?
Tonight President Bush is giving his State of the Union address. Pretty much no one is paying any attention to it because he’s become pretty irrelevant these days. I had assumed that it would be his last one but did you know its possible it won’t be? To wit:
Finally, President George W. Bush is set to deliver his next State of the Union Address on January 28, 2008. It is widely believed that this will be his last address before leaving office on January 20, 2009, but assuming this is incorrect. Bush has the right to deliver either a written or oral State of the Union in the days immediately before leaving office in 2009. Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Ford, and Carter chose to do this. Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, chose not to.
And here I was getting all nostalgic. Oh well. Not like anything the man says now is going to mean anything.
