"Kindly point me to the "bragging" part, Bunky. That part I missed."

Since you're clearly not very bright, here it is:

"And it's one of the wonderful -- it's like earning capital. You asked, do I feel free. Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. That's what happened in the -- after the 2000 election, I earned some capital. I've earned capital in this election -- and I'm going to spend it for what I told the people I'd spend it on, which is -- you've heard the agenda: Social Security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror."

And, just in case your mother never told you (I know she never taught you any manners, so who knows what else she left out) -- "if you can do it, it ain't braggin'" The fact is, he couldn't do it.

Your reading comprehension skills, as evidenced by your finding of "bragging" in Bush's remarks, are exactly what I expect from a bitter little mouse. Bush earned political "capital" and said what he was going to spend it on. Big deal.... That's "bragging"? I don't think so. The fact that a cowardly and incompetent Congress (peppered with just enough scumbag "Main Street moderates") offered no help wasn't Bush's fault.

Keep digging.
