WP: (Bush): No Worries?

[kskiska]

Consider this astonishing assertion from President Bush yesterday in response to a question at his press conference about whether he is concerned about having lost political momentum:

"I don't worry about anything here in Washington, D.C.," he said.

He continued: "I mean, I feel -- feel comfortable in my role as the President, and my role as the President is to push for reform. The American people appreciate a President who sees a problem and is willing to put it on the table."

But is it conceivable that an American president could not worry at all about politics?

A little while later Bush was talking about his Social Security proposals, which are floundering, and offered another glimpse into his thinking.

"I will give you some insight into what I think is going to happen in the process. It's just going -- it's like water cutting through a rock. It's just a matter of time. We're just going to keep working and working and working, reminding the American people that we have a serious problem and a great opportunity to act, not as politicians, but as statesmen and women to solve a problem."

2. "water cutting through a rock"

Noting Bush's comment about water cutting through a rock, Bob Franken told Suzanne Malveaux on CNN: "Suzanne, everybody was too polite that that usually takes several thousand years to have an effect."

4. Unless you have one of those power tools that slice pavement.

It's better than a blade because you don't have to worry about the blade getting dull. Of course it isn't like Bush would know anything about that since he's never worked a day in his life yet.
