From CNN White House Correspondent Elaine Quijano PHILADELPHIA (CNN) - Twelve days before he leaves office, President Bush delivered his final policy speech, choosing to focus on his signature education reform law known as "No Child Left Behind." But as he spoke, television networks – including CNN – carried another address happening simultaneously: President-elect Barack Obama's speech on the ailing US economy. "At the end of the presidency, you get to do a lot of 'lasts,'” Mr. Bush noted in his remarks at a school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "This is my last policy speech. As President of the United States, this is the last policy address I will give," Bush said. "What makes it interesting is that it's the same subject of my first policy address as President of the United States, which is education and education reform."
