Well, I know plenty of people who thought Clinton'92 was the end of the world, but it wasn't. But a lot of this noise is positioning to block Bush's agenda. They know if they drag things out for the first couple of years, momentum will be lost, people will start looking for the next job or the next campaign, etc. Plus there are the midterms to worry about. Watch for some of the incumbents to get squishy in a year, especially any in state that are not guaranteed. Get the tough votes out of the way in the first eight months is the best plan. Remember Clinton wasted that type on Hillary's health plan and the gays in the military thing. He never really recovered, except to steal Republican plans to reform welfare and cut the deficit.

All of which is why President Bush should waste no time in implementing the changes he desires. He has a much stronger Republican majority in both the House and Senate and he has a total popular vote mandate. Action MUST follow ASAP!

We are in agreement; he must move fast. And be on the lookout for meaningless efforts intended to secure Bush's legacy and place in history -- that's usually code for moderation and crowd-pleasing gestures. I will be worried if I see proposals that smack of liberal spending and entitlement,
aimed at getting the approval of the MSM and DemocRATS.
