White House Week

Posted Sunday, September 24, 2006



Five to six major issues, including a second try at reforming Social Security, will top President Bush's lame-duck term. White House spokesman Tony Snow said that the list will also include further tax changes, a healthcare proposal, an education initiative, and more on the war on terrorism. He also said that Bush will most likely build on the piecemeal immigration legislation expected to be passed in Congress with the goal of a broader reform program. Snow said that Bush is planning a much more eventful final two years than presidents normally do. One reason, he said: Bush is less concerned about his long-term legacy than about trying to fix problems. Normally in years seven and eight, said Snow, presidents usually "pack up your Bermuda shorts and figure out what you're going to do." But he said this administration is operating under the motto: "You can't waste a day."

4. What? Me, worry?

Alfred E. Newman's got nothing on this Pretzeldent, "less concerned about his long-term legacy..."

Well, his legacy, short OR long-term, is already shot to hell. I wish he'd follow it there.

5. Best two sentences EVER:

"Well, his legacy, short OR long-term, is already shot to hell. I wish he'd follow it there."

10. I admire someone who can sum things up succinctly and wittily. I HATE

some of these long, drawn out, excessively verbose posts. I have trouble wading through all the noise to get the gist of their post.

9. Very good response.

You say "Well, his legacy, short OR long-term, is already shot to hell. I wish he'd follow it there". That is a wish shared by many, mcscajun. May your wish come true.

from back when he was just "the black sheep" of his family. He's about 6 months short of a year, on the average.
