President Bush:
Bush's delivery was riddled throughout with verbal ineptitude. As he slurred his way through his delivery, I wondered if he had gotten his lips caught in a power coupling during the limo ride from the White House. The largest failing in his message, in my opinion, was the oversimplification with which he blanketed his description of our Nation's challenges. As a single example, he referred many times to "The Terrorists", but I think he meant at times Arab Sunni Extremists, Persian Shia Radicals, Arab Shia Radicals, and specifically Hamas, Hezbollah, the Government of Iran, The Taliban and the US Democratic Party that is sympathetic to them. Unfortunately for us, apparently in Bush's brain, the above nasties are all the same. Such thinking must certainly speed the decision making process, but it certainly plays hell with job performance, as witnessed in Iraq, Afghanistan and New Orleans.
Bush sat in front of Vice President Cheney and Nancy Pelosi.
Vice President Dick Cheney:
To be quite frank with you, Cheney scares me. Every time he leaves his trash compactor and surfaces in public, I fear that someone is going to get eaten, or at least drug under murky black water, and roughed up. How can such a disgusting creature consisting of a single eye and many slimy tentacles have run Halliburton, and now sit in the number two seat in the worlds most powerful Nation you ask? I believe that I have found the answer: Ethics don't count.
Nancy Pelosi:

Nancy, oh Nancy! You did such a good job of sitting there looking disapproving! You led your side of the chamber to sit, then stand, then sit again in an amazing display of canine behavioural training. It was such a powerful display of well led sitting, and standing, all while looking thin and disapproving, it was a sight to behold. I just wish that your party delivered a coherent message.
I have a theory that the only reason the Democrats ever win anything is because the Republicans get so self righteous after a term or two in office that they end up pulling truly crazy shenanigans. Like having the NSA warrentlessly wiretap your grandmother, while the CIA is water boarding your kindergarten teacher and the party leaders are having anonymous same-gender fat-white-guy you know what in airport restrooms. Then they put on a big show, denying the wiretapping and bathroom stall geriatric human rodeo riding while justifying the water boarding as "not torture" and as necessary for the fulfilment of some sort of twisted Republican definition of National Security.
After several terms of these Republican gross abuses, American Citizens want a party that is is not so bent on vigorously doing things that seem so patently wrong. The Democrats are a party that has no idea what to do, and so do nothing, making themselves the safer choice.
