I would certainly welcome that speech, as well as the Democratic response which would go would go something like.

You squandered 1 or more trillion on a war we did not need.
You made no effort to mandate any increase in fuel efficiency and let the US companies fall behind in new technologies, bringing the possibility of another bailout.
You abrogated the responsibility for oversight, assuming that all industry s would self regulate. The phrase 'foxes to guard the hen house' come to mind.
You made no effort to rebuild jobs, or improve access to post-secondary education and training, items necessary to retool our economy.
You perpetuated the myth that growing debt to buy foreign goods was good for our economy, or that drilling in land owned in common by all Americans so that someone could sell us back oil we already owned would be more than a stopgap measure that destroys pristine land we held in trust.
You believe you did not break any laws only because you falsely assume that the Constitution exempts you from most laws, especially in the matter of Executive orders.

You stepped over any number of well qualified candidates in one of the most brutal primaries in history to get a job you were obviously not qualified for and are whining when you execrable job performance is questioned.

Good Riddance. Don't let the Oval Office doors hit you on the ass on your way out, and make sure you obey leash laws when you take Cheney with you.
