Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "Bush did mention the report by CIA weapons inspector David Kay, claiming Kay 'identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities.' The 'WMD-related program activities' description was a stark contrast to his previous definitive declarations that Iraq possessed fully-developed WMD, ready to be deployed at any moment "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "Bush also said, 'Under the law you passed, seniors can choose to receive a drug discount card, saving them 10 to 25% off the retail price of most prescription drugs.' But these discount cards do not guarantee seniors a price discount. Specifically, 'sponsors of drug discount cards will be allowed to change their prices � and the list of covered drugs � on a weekly basis.' "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "Bush said, 'We can cut the deficit in half over the next five years.' But the plan he was referring to 'omits a number of likely costs' such as the continued cost of Iraq and its own defense spending plans. All told, he is proposing roughly $3 trillion in new tax cuts and spending, including $1 trillion to make his tax cuts permanent, $1 trillion to privatize Social Security, $50 billion more for war in Iraq, $1.5 billion to promote marriage, and a Mars proposal that could cost $500 billion. The result is that the deficit is predicted to be 'in the range of $500 billion in 2009' � not even near half of what it currently is. "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "Bush said, 'Jobs are on the rise,' referring to the recent drop in the unemployment rate. But he didn't mention that the unemployment drop was due to the fact that the economy was so bleak that 255,000 of the jobless simply stopped looking for work. Additionally, the jobs that are being created are lower-paying. "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "'With lines like 'America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people,' Bush was clearly sounding a campaign theme.' "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "only 76% of Americans watching the speech had a favorable impression, down from 84% last year and 94% the year before. At the same time, the percentage of Americans who felt negatively jumped up to nearly a quarter of those watching."

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "The numbers are in, and they show President Bush's speech didn't go over as well with the public as previous State of the Union addresses. According to a new WP/ABC News poll, President Bush 'deliver[ed] his State of the Union address...to an American public that has become broadly dissatisfied with his domestic agenda.' "

Center for American Progress - Progress Report - Page: "This year's 'pre-speech spinners told us that the address had two basic goals, to remind voters that Bush is a busy, serious commander-in-chief making the world safe from evil-doers and to show empathy on the domestic issues that polls show he needs help on.' "
