| Watch excerpted portions of key sections of President Bush's speech to the nation. Bush, a onetime Texas oil industry executive, declared that "America is addicted to oil" and vowed to push for alternative energy sources and to steer more money to scientific research and education while working to reduce health costs. But after a year of setbacks at home and abroad that have dragged his approval ratings to historic lows, Bush offered no far-reaching proposals to match the scale of the Social Security revision plan that proved so unpopular on Capitol Hill last year that it died without even being introduced. |
