2002 State of the Union Address

2002 State of the Union Address

The 2002 State of the Union address, the first after the September 11th attacks, was given by U.S. President George W. Bush. In the address, Bush said that "As we gather tonight, our nation is at war, our economy is in recession, and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers. Yet the state of our Union has never been stronger." This is also the speech in which he labeled the countries of Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as an "axis of evil."
