Mr. Speaker. last night this House was host to the President for his final State of the Union address. Like all past Presidential speeches in this Chamber. it was historic. But this time it may have been historic because of what it did not achieve and what it left unfinished. Forget all of the unfulfilled commitments on education. health care. environmental conservation. employment. energy efficiency. worker protections and immigration. Lets just look at the record on foreign policy. The state of that union? Dismal. Upon taking office in 2001. this administration promised a new kind of international engagement. one based on partnerships and regional alliances.
