FROM PRESIDENT BUSH's STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH From expanding opportunity to protecting our country, we have made good progress. Yet we have unfinished business before us, and the American people expect us to get it done. In the work ahead, we must be guided by the philosophy that made our nation great. As Americans, we believe in the power of individuals to determine their destiny and shape the course of history. We believe that the most reliable guide for our country is the collective wisdom of ordinary citizens. So in all we do, we must trust in the ability of free people to make wise decisions, and empower them to improve their lives and their futures. To build a prosperous future, we must trust people with their own money and empower them to grow our economy. As we meet tonight, our economy is undergoing a period of uncertainty. America has added jobs for a record 52 straight months, but jobs are now growing at a slower pace. Wages are up, but so are prices for food and gas. Exports are rising, but the housing market has declined. And at kitchen tables across our country, there is concern about our economic future. In the long run, Americans can be confident about our economic growth. But in the short run, we can all see that growth is slowing. So last week, my administration reached agreement with Speaker Pelosi and Republican Leader Boehner on a robust growth package that includes tax relief for individuals and families and incentives for business investment. ... On trade, we must trust American workers to compete with anyone in the world and empower them by opening up new markets overseas. Today, our economic growth increasingly depends on our ability to sell American goods, crops, and services all over the world. So we are working to break down barriers to trade and investment wherever we can. We are working for a successful Doha round of trade talks, and we must complete a good agreement this year. At the same time, we are pursuing opportunities to open up new markets by passing free trade agreements. ... I thank the Congress for approving a good agreement with Peru. Now I ask you to approve agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. Many products from these nations now enter America duty-free, yet many of our products face steep tariffs in their markets. These agreements will level the playing field. They will give us better access to nearly 100 million customers. And they will support good jobs for the finest workers in the world: those whose products say “Made in the USA.” ... Trade brings better jobs, better choices, and better prices. Yet for some Americans, trade can mean losing a job, and the federal government has a responsibility to help. I ask the Congress to reauthorize and reform trade adjustment assistance, so we can help these displaced workers learn new skills and find new jobs. ... democratic response Following is the prepared text of the Democratic response given by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas to President Bush’s State of the Union address, as provided by the Democratic Party: I’m Kathleen Sebelius, governor of the state of Kansas. And I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with you tonight. I’m a Democrat, but tonight, it really doesn’t matter whether you think of yourself as a Democrat... or a Republican... or an independent. Or... none-of-the-above. Instead, the fact you’re tuning in this evening tells me each of you is, above all... an American, first. You are mothers, and fathers. Grandparents, and grandchildren. Working people, and business-owners. Americans, all. And the American people — folks like you, and me — are not nearly as divided as our rancorous politics might suggest. In fact, right now, tonight, as political pundits discuss the president’s speech — chances are, they’ll obsess over the reactions of members of Congress: "How many times was the president interrupted by applause? Did Republicans stand? Did Democrats sit?" And the rest of us will roll our eyes and think, "What in the world does any of that have to do with me?" And, so, I want to take a slight detour from tradition on this State of the Union night. In this time, normally reserved for the partisan response, I hope to offer you something more: An American Response. A national call to action on behalf of the struggling families in the heartland, and across this great country. A wake-up call to Washington, on behalf of a new American majority, that time is running out on our opportunities to meet our challenges and solve our problems. Our struggling economy requires urgent and immediate action, and then sustained attention. Families can’t pay their bills. They are losing their jobs, and now are threatened with losing their homes.
