Bono Praises President Bush's State of the Union Address

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "In his State of the Union address tonight, President Bush demonstrated the mindful leadership he has provided in addressing the challenges that have confronted our nation domestically and abroad over the past year. As the President mentioned, we have faced extraordinary challenges and as we begin a new year, it is clear that we have responded with remarkable achievements. Under the President's leadership, we have made substantial progress in securing a stronger homeland, a revitalized economy, and a more available and efficient healthcare system.

I am pleased to hear the President's continued commitment to his goals of working for a stronger America that protects the health, well being, and safety of every American. Tonight's State of the Union is one that is full of determination to continue along this path of securing a higher quality of life for every American as well as fulfilling our responsibilities for a stronger global security."
