"it WILL arouse support if properly sold to the American people."
Anyone who would believe *any* politician who has been in office for 4 years and who suddenly comes out with a plan that could have been put forward by him at any time in the last four years is a fool. That does not mean that it could not be "sold to [some] American people", after all, the Brooklyn Bridge has been likewise sold to the gullible.
Name calling? LOL
For record I realize the difficulties in passing legislation. Given the significance of what is being discussed here it would be an up hill battle even if Bush throws his entire weight into supporting it.
It doesn't mean the intent to enact this legislation cannot come to pass, or that this is solely to gain votes.
Bush is damned if he puts forth no further ideas for another term, and dismissed as pandering if he does.
Call me a fool, if will, that I believe in the "possibility" this could be a measure Bush acts on. I'm not saying he will, he hasn't even announced it as his platform yet, but I'm certainly not going to dismiss it out of hand.
