Bush Aims to Push Policy Agenda in AddressBy TERENCE HUNT

WASHINGTON -- Hampered by huge budget deficits and an unpopular war, President Bush will seek to take charge of the election-year agenda Tuesday with a State of the Union address focusing on soaring energy and health care costs and America's leadership in the world.
Bush's prime-time address to joint session of Congress is billed by the White House as a message of optimism and a prescription for strengthening the nation's competitiveness in a global economy, in part by emphasizing math and science education.
With oil prices inching toward $70 a barrel, Bush is to say the nation must reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers _ a goal often stated over the decades but never realized _ and push for development of alternative fuels such as hydrogen and ethanol, wind and solar power, as well as build new nuclear power plants.Three years from leaving office, Bush goes before the nation as a politically weakened president after the toughest year of his administration. With Americans anxious about the economy, weary of the three-year-old Iraq war and unhappy about the administration's stumbling response to Hurricane Katrina, Bush's job approval rating was in the anemic high 30s to low 40s.
A majority of Americans fault him on his handling of Iraq, the economy, the budget deficit, immigration, ethics in government, health care and taxes. A Medicare prescription drug program for the elderly, once seen as a boon for Republicans, has left seniors confused and angry.
