THE PRESIDENT: Ready to go? Thank you all. I just read Mother's mind. She said, don't you think you've been talking a little too long?

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: That's not what I was thinking.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, don't tell them what you were thinking, then, if that wasn't it. (Laughter.)

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: I was thinking how great you look in the new brown look. (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: About time somebody noticed. (Laughter.)

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: Cozy.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, thanks for coming. Why in the heck are you here? (Laughter.)

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: I'm here because I'm worried about our 17 grandchildren, and so is my husband. They will get no Social Security. I'm also here because -- I've been dying to say this. You did say freedom of speech, I heard you.

THE PRESIDENT: Oops. (Laughter.)

MRS. BUSH: You better watch out. (Laughter.) I really think that George W. could have just said, to heck with Social Security, it won't bother me, I'll get mine, I don't need it, and forgotten the rest of the young people. I'm very proud of him. It's a political nightmare to talk about Social Security, and he's got the guts to do it. So I'm for it. (Applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: Is that all you got to say?

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: I've had it on my mind. The brown suit just came up, but -- (laughter.) I'm very proud of him.

THE PRESIDENT: You turned 80 and all of a sudden you ran out of things to say, it's amazing. (Laughter.) Wait a minute, she looks great at 80. (Applause.)

MRS. BARBARA BUSH: I just don't like having an almost-60-year-old white-haired son. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, well -- you can see where I got my white hair from. (Laughter.) Thanks for coming, Mom.

Mom is concerned about, like a lot of other grandmoms are concerned about, whether or not this government has got the will to solve a Social Security problem. You see, once grandmothers and granddads understand that they're going to get their check, the next question is, well, if it's so bad, Mr. President, how come the Congress can't come together with you and save it for my grandchildren? And that's what's happening. It's going to take a while to get people to understand the importance of this issue. A lot of people would rather -- in Congress -- say, well, let's just don't touch it; we've got a campaign coming up, or something like that. Well, I just don't think it's right. And I want to thank you, Mom, for saying what you said.

Something is going to happen. One thing that's not going to happen is me dropping the subject. I believe my job -- (applause.) And this is what the people want in the President

-- I think, I'm pretty confident -- they want a President to confront problems, not pass them on to other Presidents or other Congresses. (Applause.)

While they snort and chuckle and lie, soldiers and civilians are dying in Iraq, Americans are losing their health insurance, treason is condoned in the White House, gas prices are going through the roof thanks to their robber-baron friends...you all know the drill.

Our Imperial(istic) Majesties make me absolutely want to vomit.
