Fellow Freepers. I think we are seeing more srtategery in action. This is a direct counter-punch to the media attack on the President's response to Katrina. This move highlights the way the current laws work and will put the liberals in a catch-22. They would love to have more power, but supporting this move lets him off the hook. Opposing this plan shows they really DIDN'T want to fix the problem, just attack Bush. This move parries both lines of attack.

I tend to agree with this. I think the President is calling the liberals bluff. They screamed he didn't act fast enough, he is threatening them with a federal takeover just to put them in a spot from which they can't logically escape. They will look like fools trying to weasle out of this, but they will have to do it because they will not give up this much power to the president. Brilliant.

However, if he is serious. Then I have major problems with it.

Right. Just like Campaign Finance Reform.

Think up some new lies. That one doesn't work anymore.

This Texas boy is 100% in agreement with that statement. Bluffin' is fine; but them's fightin' words if he is serious. Can you imagine the abuse of power if Billy Jerk had this in place? Or Hitlery? Waco would just be the prelude to a new civil war.
