President George Bush delivered an outstanding speech to the nation and Congress tonight. The next several entries will highlight portions of the speech and topics of importance. One place to read the full text is here.

• * * NOTE * * * Back in December, I mentioned an article Newt Gingrich had written in which he spelled out a five item wish list for America. He went on to suggest that it would make an outstanding checklist or platform for the Republican party. Compare the things on that list with tonight’s speech by the President:
  • National security
  • Economic growth
  • Health care modernization
  • Litigation reform
  • Scientific environmentalism

• * * ANOTHER NOTE * * * Read Peggy Noonan’s latest column. How well did the President do using her criteria for the ”right kind of speech?”
