Bush Tone Deaf - Vilsack

Tom Vilsack responded to President Bush's State of the Union Address by saying that his performance was "tone deaf and without substance."

Vilsack said that there was nothing new offered in the President's speech, despite the overwhelming desire for change from the America people.

Vilsack was looking for real solutions on things like immigration, healthcare, energy and the environment, but couldn't find them in the President's speech.

On Iraq, Vilsack said that Bush was only paying lip service to the catastrophe in Iraq, for which he has no real plan.

And Vilsack appeared to echo the sentiment expressed by John Edwards in recent weeks, that the Congress is not doing enough to bring about the end of the conflict. He said that "Congress has continued meandering discussions of non-binding resolutions and troop caps."
