thank you. the big speech is tomorrow night. what can we expect from the president? what can he do? i think he s going to give us a speech about his vision and his ideas for how to create jobs. i m waiting to hear maybe tax policy for small businesses to help them grow. i m really thinking he will lay out a plan for really the next steps we need to take as a nation to create some bipartisan support for good legislation. one of the things that s so striking, senator, is what he s up against. i don t mean politics of it, just the economics of it. if you look at the consumer confidence data that came out just now in the last month and looking at the analysis, this last month, this horrible six weeks, let s say of the debt ceiling debate was the second worst set back in consumer confidence. only second to katrina.
