What a tool, our Preznit.

"GREECE, N.Y. - President Bush, facing an uphill battle on Social Security in Congress, worked Tuesday to persuade moderate Republicans to resist pressure from constituents and support his ideas for changing the nation's retirement system."

In other words, "Ignore what your constituents are saying and do what I tell you!"

"I think more and more people recognize there's a problem and people are going to say `Go do something about it.' And those who obstruct reform — no matter what party they're in — will pay a political price, in my judgment," Bush said.

Okay, Bush apologists - spin this one. Go right ahead.

He's been a foreign policy disaster, and pretty bad domestically, too (federal spending has been increasing at alarming rates, monetary policy has been bad to mediocre, and Bush has never vetoed a single bill). However, cutting marginal tax rates is always a good thing.
