From your keyboard to gods ear.
Media hardly mentioning that an agreement had been reached and the government is taking it's first steps to the future.
Time to push the "nuclear option" button?
Pakistan's president was bloviating yesterday about his troops' near-capture of OBL a few months ago. This came out of nowhere. Please, please, let this be about OBL.
Media hardly mentioning that an agreement had been reached and the government is taking it's first steps to the future.
I'll bet you're right. Time to take to the bully pulpit again to talk to the American people directly.

The MSM with the exception of our friends at FNC have played down freedom on the rise in the middle east...could that be it?
Or is he clearing up the Anthrax\Italian Hostage\ Belgian Soldier\Italian Pullout crisis
Probably to address all the above including dealing with phony objections to SS reform.
How bad i want to hear "Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him!"
The one way to make certain that the Senate will not change its rules is for the President to become involved.
The Executive Branch has no role in this, and if Bush is wise, he'll keep it that way.
God only has one ear?
Gotta love the bully pulpit..Reid throws a tantrum yesterday on the Senate steps, trying to get some, any, attention..
I heard top of the hour.
He'll give Syria a date certain to get out..
Q How is the President going to mark the second anniversary of our war against Iraq and the start of the third year?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, there's still a few days off until the date that we began the liberation of Iraq, and --
Q The invasion of Iraq.
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think the Iraqi people showed that they appreciate the sacrifices of the coalition forces, of Iraqi forces, and our men and women in uniform of the U.S. military, who helped --
Q Well, we're still there and we're still fighting, aren't we?
MR. McCLELLAN: -- to provide them with the opportunity to determine their own future, and to move away from their past of oppression and terrorism. And, obviously, we will --
Q How is the President going to mark the anniversary?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, we will have more to say as we move closer to that, to express our eternal gratitude to the men and women of our Armed Forces who have served and sacrificed in the defense of freedom, and who have helped to liberate some 25 million people in Iraq. We are --
Q That isn't why you went in.
MR. McCLELLAN: We are forever grateful to our men and women in uniform. And the Iraqi people have expressed their gratitude, as well, and showed that they are committed to defying the terrorists who want to return to the past by going to the polls and voting for a future based on freedom and democracy. And the National Assembly that was elected by the Iraqi people, the transitional National Assembly, will be meeting for the first time tomorrow. It's an important step on the path to democracy. And we stand with the international community in doing everything we can to support the transition to democracy in Iraq. We stand with the Iraqi people, and we are greatly appreciative of our men and women in uniform who continue to serve and sacrifice for this important cause. We are also grateful to their families who have made sacrifices, as well.
Q How many people are dead?
MR. McCLELLAN: Go ahead, April.....

MR. McCLELLAN: Go ahead, April.....
Sounds straight from a Doonesbury cartoon.
MSNBC just said it will start at 10:15 eastern and his opening remarks will indeed be about Social Security and Iraq.
Then questions.
Get ready for the "real journalists" to lob their "real probing questions". Remember the last press conference was when Jeff Gannon asked about Reid and HRC's obstructionist ways.
