Be Sure to watch the Presidents State of the Union address tonight. CNN has a Special edition of the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer Starting at 7 PM
According to White House Senior Administration staff the speech is expected to run between 45-50 minutes, almost the same running time as the Presidents last SOTU. Original reports said the speech would be shorter however, the increasing length of the speech is due in part to the fact that the President plans to cover a lot of ground on the international and domestic fronts.
Press Secretary Tony Snow said, that the President will cover the War on Terror but will also focus on domestic issues. Such as, health care, education, immigration, energy and energy security.
I am not expecting much from this speech, I think it will contain a lot of fluff in order to gain more support from the people. Currently over 70% of Americans do not think the President is doing a "good" job. He will probably touch the War on Terror very briefly this will not be a podium to gain support for his new Iraq strategy, I think he will try to shift the focus from foreign policy to domestic policy. The President will ask for bipartisanship and for the Congress to support our troops. A precursor to the bipartisan resolutions circulating through congress in opposition of the President Iraq war strategy.
Expect full commentary following the speech tonight, as well I am trying to attain a copy of the speech before this evenings broadcast which many news outlets will attain.
