BUSH PREDICTS GOP WILL HOLD WHITE HOUSE
By Ben Feller

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush predicted Monday that voters will replace him with a Republican president who will “keep up the fight” in Iraq. “I’m confident we’ll hold the White House in 2008,” Bush told donors at the Republican Governors Association annual dinner, which RAISED A RECORD $10.6 MILLION for GOP gubernatorial candidates. [ANOTHER RECORD FOR OUR FUNDRAISER IN CHIEF!]

“And I don’t want the next Republican president to be lonely,” Bush said. “And that is why we got to take the House, retake the Senate, and make sure our states are governed by Republican governors.”

The pep talk came in the midst of a presidential campaign that largely has overshadowed Bush’s final year in office. Bush has promised to be an active fundraiser, and he had no trouble slipping into enthusiastic campaign mode Monday evening. [I HOPE HE DOES SOME ‘REGULAR’ CAMPAIGNING; I’D LOVE TO SEE HIM IN ACTION AGAIN — we in Ohio were spoiled during the 2004 election cycle!]

HOUSE INACTION LEFT AMERICA OPEN TO ATTACK
By SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL

In the wake of 9/11, Americans were stunned to learn that our own intelligence officials had information on some of the hijackers even before the attacks.

Three years later, Congress created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to prevent similar gaps in intelligence gathering. Its nonpartisan director oversees 16 agencies and advises the president and Congress on how best to detect terrorist plots.

But now, when it comes to intercepting the communications of terrorists overseas, the Democrats’ leadership in the House of Representatives has decided that his advice is optional.
