WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top two Democrats in the U.S. Congress vowed on Wednesday to work with President Bush when possible, but ripped into him on two central issues -- Iraq and his bid to revamp the Social Security retirement program.

In remarks prepared for delivery as their party's response to Bush's State of the Union address, they described his call to allow workers to invest some of their Social Security taxes in stocks and bonds a dangerous gamble.

"The Bush plan isn't really Social Security reform," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. "It's more like Social Security roulette." ...

...Said Reid, "I want you to know that when we believe the president is on the right track, we won't let partisan interests get in the way of what's good for the country." "But when he gets off track, we will be there to hold him accountable," Reid said.
