I will say this right off the bat so I can just get it out there.
I am kind of saddened that this will be his last SOTU. Sorry but I like the guy. His second term has been nothing but a mess (besides the Supreme Court appointments) but I still believe he was a good President (considering the first term). Plus, this was the first President I really knew. I knew nothing about politics before 2000 and since Bush was the first political figure I was introduced to as an up and coming political junkie, I have a weird, sentimental connection. After eight years of anyone, we're all ready for someone new. I really believe that but I will still miss him.
Emphasis on the first word.
