Well, Mark Sandalow wasn’t thrilled by the State of union address:

President Bush’s call for Republicans and Democrats to work together, for America to engage the world and for the nation to quit its addiction to oil will sound to many skeptics like Barry Bonds calling for an end to steroid use in baseball.

It was not Bush’s failure to solve these problems over the course of the first five years of his presidency that required him to highlight them in his State of the Union address, his critics insist; it was Bush’s contributions to these problems that elevated each to a matter of significance.
