The president has been lukewarm about the bill, which is opposed by most senior GOP officials, but has chosen not to spend the political capital needed to fight it.

The media will crucify him after he signs it. The Democrats will sweep the Republicans because the base will see Bush as gutless and the Democrats will say that although he signed the bill, he is working against it anyway.

Play both sides; get hit on both sides.

re: "Read my lips......."

Is, in these parts at least, the equivalent of (from http://www.freerepublic.com/, lines 3 and 4):

"Not over my dead body will they curtail your free speech!"
-- President George "Dubya" Bush (what he should say re: CFR)

Have faith FReepers that the President will find this bill not living up to the standards he set in the beginning.

Continue phoning the WH your support of Free Speech.

You state the problem correctly. There IS a solution, however. I hope Bush uses it.
