WASHINGTON Jan 31, 2006 — President Bush, in a push to take charge of the election-year agenda, is expected to say Tuesday that “America is addicted to oil” and must break its dependence on foreign suppliers in unstable parts of the world.

In his State of the Union address, Bush also is expected to renew his commitment to the central pledge of his inaugural address. “Our nation is committed to an historic, long-term goal we seek the end of tyranny in our world,” he plans to say. “The future security of America depends on it.”

Just to make things interesting, Cindy Sheehan herself will be seated in the gallery during the speech.

Congresswoman Lynn Woosley gave anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan a gallery pass late Tuesday for the State of the Union speech. Sheehan accepted the invitation just two hours prior to the speech.

Update:

Just heard from a reader that Sheehan was arrested in D.C. No word yet on why, but a few things come to mind.
