President Bush will "defend his record" in a primetime farewell address to the nation Thursday evening from the East Room, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino announced today.
No time has been set for the address. Perino said it would last 10 to 15 minutes and be delivered before a live audience, including "courageous people" the president has met with during his eight years in office.
"This is not going to be a swan song," said Perino, and the speech is not something where he is "looking to refight old battles."
In an e-mail, the White House said, "He will reflect on his time in office and the ways our country has changed these past eight years. He will also uphold the tradition of presidents using farewell addresses to look forward -- by sharing his thoughts on greatest challenges facing the country, and on what it will take to meet them."
