Well if that wasn't one of the most non-inspirational speeches in modern history, I don't know what was. From a bitter chastising over congressional earmarks despite having approved every bloated bill the Republicans sent him to threatening a country to end a nuclear program his own NIE already acknowledged has been suspended, George W. Bush was a man without a message and without a clear sense of why so many people are dissatisfied with his leadership. But, I digress...
Bob Olson came out with this response:

ANOKA—Bob Olson, a DFL candidate in the 6th Congressional District, released the following statement in response to President George W. Bush's State of the Union address:"On a day when five troops were killed in Iraq, President Bush failed to deliver the exit plan our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines have earned.
"On a day when 9 million children went uninsured, President Bush failed to deliver health care coverage for the most vulnerable among us.
"On a day when millions of working families worried about losing their homes, President Bush failed to deliver a plan to end the agony.
"On a day when his country needed him most, President Bush failed the great test of leadership again."
