CNN: "Little doubt what would most motivate President Bush"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

NEW YORK (CNN) -- There is little doubt what would most motivate President Bush if he gets four more years.

"We must aggressively pursue them and defeat them in foreign lands, so we do not have to face them here at home," is how Bush put it in a recent campaign speech in Iowa, promising to continue an aggressive war on terrorism.

But as he makes his case for re-election, Bush also offers a list of domestic policy priorities for a second term - a list shaped significantly by the unfinished, and contentious, agenda of his first four years.

For example, Bush credits his signature tax cuts with helping pull the economy out of recession. But those cuts are slated to expire, most after 10 years, and Bush has said pushing Congress to make them permanent is a major goal.

3. Bush has done nothing on the economy

Tax cuts were a sop to his donors, and were going to be doled out no matter what the state of the economy. Remember, the original rhetoric explaining the cuts was based on the talk of a gov't surplus: "it's you're money, we're giving it back." Only after the economy went down the shitter did it become a matter of "economic stimulus."

No, the real story is that Bush has simply tried to wait out the slump. Recessions end, stuff breaks, people gotta buy things eventually. That's it. No plan, just a vague hope that things will sort themselves out eventually.
