"This week is going to be about thinking about what he wants to tell the American people for the inauguration speech as well as the State of the Union," Deputy White House Press Secretary Trent Duffy told reporters.

Bush is spending the last week of 2004 formulating his second-term goals, which include tax and Social Security (news - web sites) reforms, dealing with an increasingly expensive war in Iraq, possible nominations to the Supreme Court, an Israeli-Palestinian peace effort that remains in flux and tensions with Iran and North Korea (news - web sites) over nuclear weapons.

"He's looking forward to spending time with his family and with Mrs. Bush and he'll be thinking about what he wants to tell the American people about what he wants to accomplish in a second term," Duffy said.
