President Bush delivered the last State of the Union speech of his term on Tuesday.

Bush used the address to highlight the war on terror. He said the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Iraq have made the world safer. He called on Congress to renew the USA Patriot Act, which gives law enforcement greater powers to investigate suspected terrorists.

Bush did not lay out any new major domestic proposals, choosing instead to renew his call for a national energy policy and the faith-based initiative. Democrats in response said the speech ignored working Americans.

Today, at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, National Congress of American Indians President Tex Hall will deliver the second annual State of Indian Nations address from Washington, D.C. A live audio feed will be available at http://www.connectlive.com/events/ncai.
