In case you missed (or in my case, fell asleep) President Bush’s State of the Union address, I thought some key points might be in order this chilly A.M. courtesy of The Arizona Republic.

ON IRAQ: Bush faces lawmakers skeptical of his Iraq troop—increase strategy. “We went into this largely united,” he says. “I ask you to give it a chance to work.”

ON ENERGY: Bush’s goal is to reduce gas usage by 20 percent over projected levels in 10 years by increasing use of alternate fuels and requiring greater efficiency in cars.

ON HEALTH CARE: Plan would tax some workers’ health benefits, but new tax deductions could encourage more uninsured people to buy coverage.

FYI, Iraq was NOT his first talking point.

One more thing: cheers to Speaker Nancy Pelosi! The FIRST woman to lead the House. You go girl!
