This president is an economic illiterate, which will impede his ability to impress anybody when talking about the economy.

I've come to the same conclusion. Unlike Reagan, he is uncapable of presenting a clear economic agenda without checking with his pollsters and advisors. The word "puppet" comes to mind here.

Having said that, actions do speak louder than words, so I'm hoping to see him propose a 50% reduction in the capital gains tax, a 30% marginal tax cut for the producers in society, regulation reform, and a downsizing of unconstitutional government agencies. Effective ASAP, not "phased in" over a decade. That would reawaken our economy.

But what we'll probably see is him propose to appoint a commission on corporate fraud, and tell us how great the economy is. If he does propose a tax cut, it will likely be along the lines of some socialistic tax "rebate" for the parasitic lower classes.

I hope I'm wrong here, but I seriously doubt it.

Sounds to me most people here are looking for Government to bail them out again. Blame Bush if it helps you sleep at night. I will blame congress for the big spending, we do hold congress. But I will not look for Bush to bail me out.
The only way a speech would work if some people here and the Demorats do not undermind everything he say's.
