What He Should Say

After reading all the pundits and well wishers on what the President will or should say in his State of the Union speech tonight, here's what I hope he says:

"Well, the reality is that after six years in this job, I really still have no clue what I'm doing or how to solve the myriad issues that need addressing in this country, from the war in Iraq, to Homeland Security and the securing of ports and chemical plants, to energy and healthcare, to long term education goals, to reforming entitlements equitably across the wealth spectrum, I just don't have it in me. So, I call for this new Congress to debate and discuss in a bipartisan way all of these issues, present the country with it's proposals, which I will then endorse and sign into law or implement as policy, and in January of 2009, I will go quietly into retirement and turn the country over to someone ideally more qualified to lead this great country forward into the 21st century."

Now that would make for a great, succinct speech and we could all move onto better things.
