One day after outlining priorities on energy, health care, and economic competitiveness in his State of the Union address, Bush will go to Nashville, Tennessee, to kick-off a campaign to sell his 2006 agenda to the public.

Bush is trying to shore up his standing after a year in which his popularity sank amid public concerns about the Iraq war and high gasoline prices and set a roadmap that he hopes will take Republicans to victory in a midterm election year. Democrats have come out swinging against Bush's proposals as they seek to wrest control of Congress from the Republican Party.

Bush on Tuesday said the United States was "addicted to oil" from the Middle East and must find alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on foreign sources of oil. He pitched improving technologies to reduce U.S. oil imports from the Middle East by 75 percent by 2025.

Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat defeated by Bush in the 2004 election, said the president's description of the state of the country was "fantasyland." He said the Bush administration had only strengthened big oil companies with last year's energy bill. "America's dependence on oil has gotten worse on this president's watch," Kerry said in a statement.
