Yes, Mr. Obstruction, what about this?:

"Where is job-creating terrorism insurance?" asked White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. "Where is homeland security legislation? Where is pension protection? Where is the budget? Where are the appropriations bills? Where's the fiscal restraint?"

>>Mr. Daschle, however, urged Mr. Bush to cancel his political travel<<

Especially to South Dakota.

Dashole will be credible when the end of his nose is mangled and bloody from pressure on the grindstone honing the Prtesidents Homeland Defense bill and confirmation of all the judges in the limbo of partizen hell.

..."A year ago, Americans were afraid to open their mail because of anthrax," Mr. Daschle said. "Now they're scared to open their mail because they don't want to see what the stock market has done to their college funds and their retirement savings." ...

Where is Ari with this response, "Senator Dashole is right. We have been unable, so far, to stop the stock market slide that began In March of 2000 when a blundering Clinton administration attacked the engine of the market - Microsoft."

"Through the 1990's and into 2000, the Enrons, Wordcoms and Global Crossings were permitted to jerry-rig their financial statements because their politically-connected CEO's generously supported Presidential libraries, Senatorial campaigns and Presidential defense funds."

Bush should take Tom up on that offer and call Congress into special session until the election is over. As things currently stand, the ones who need to campaign are the dems, so keeping everyone in D.C. wouldn't hurt Bush any.

How dare Ari Fleischer engage in negative campaigning! < /sarcasm>

Hear, hear!! The Congress takes the whole month off to campaign, while Bush has to stay in D.C. and work? He is working, Daschole, you putz! Working to get the obstructionists out of the Senate so he CAN do something about the economy.

This is as bad as them whining about his August working vacation while they were similarly off on decidedly non-working vacations (oh, excuse me, recesses. Sounds more like kindergarten anyway!). I hope Bush does take him up on it and use the well worn phrase "co-equal branches of government."

Only if Daschle keeps his mouth shut until the election is over.....(which ain't gonna happen)

[mass55th]

""Show the American people that you have an economic plan," Mr. Daschle said."

Show the American people that YOU have an economic plan Mr. Daschle!!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

The Democrats are so desparate and so far gone left they no longer have this as a caucus; this is them, this is their majority.

[Joe Boucher]

You have to believe that little tommy would hope that President Bush would hole up in the basement of the White House on his treadmill about now and not come out til after the election.
As it is though Mr. Bush is coming out and taking little tommy and the unamerican obstructionist dems head on.

Mr. Daschle, however, urged Mr. Bush to cancel his political travel and focus on the economy.

OMG, I sincerely hope the sheeple's memories aren't so short that they have forgotten the blatant, outrageous fundraising travel activity of the Clintoon! Wasn't he, in fact, on some fundraising tour when the bodies of the military men from the bomb blast on the ship in Yemen returned to the states??

"Mr. Daschle, however, urged Mr. Bush to cancel his political travel..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[Miss Marple]

What a great graphic!! Can I borrow it to show some people? I will credit you, of course!
