Bush's Second Term State of the Union Address.
College Democrats got together for Bush's first State of the Union Address since the election. He spoke on the war in Iraq as well as his new social policies. College Democrats viewed this in order to further examine Bush's policies to see what he is doing that goes against the best wishes of our nation and the world. By examining his policies, we will be able to better fight policies that would be detrimental to our society.
