Since the WoT (War on Terror) has been renamed GSAVE (Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism), I guess we should have seen this coming because Bush is a war president and he likes being at war.
At his Arizona event, which included blue and white signs reminding the audience that the effort was part of "Keeping Our Promise to Seniors," Mr. Bush also emphasized, for the first time in weeks, his proposals to revamp Social Security. He promised those in his audience that they would continue receiving benefits even if the system was revised. To one participant, Margaret Cantrell, 82, Mr. Bush insisted that while her Social Security benefits might be secure, she needed to worry about the program's survival for future generations.
I think this shows that Bush is finally nailed. He ran away from SS to Iraq because the country strongly disagreed with him on SS from the start and that did not change no matter what he said. Now he is running away like a little girl holding her skirt in a bunch because he is tanking so badly on Iraq and on jobs. He no longer has anywhere to go where he will be on level ground. The notion that he can get traction on an issue he has already been soundly defeated on is ridiculous. Democrats and the media should not give a minute of their - and our - time to let Bush say one more word on this subject.
To paraphrase - or probably quote - Scott McClellan, I've already answered that question, let's move along.
