Ant:Not that you'd understand the complexities of how politics actually work, but politicians need something called political capital to get their job done. Bush is running out of it which is why he lost the SS security battleanyways... are bush and the republicans down for the count? i doubt it. they aren't stupid and they have yet to really start spending a lot of money on promoting their domestic and foreign agenda. we'll have to wait another year or so to tell which direction things are actually heading in.i agree with you on the social security issue, however that battle isn't completely over. social security, medicare and medicaid will be facing a significant cut in benefits sometime soon. that's almost inevitable. whether or not this private accounts idea can fly is another issue altogether, and may be a red herring; simply to get people focused on the fact that social security is in "insolvent" and change is needed.and why the neo-con movement is becoming marginalized.the neo-con movement is nowhere near marginalized. they are calling iraq a success, the insurgency is being portrayed as a dying effort. they are claiming success in egypt with the elections, in lebanon with syria pulling back the troops and ofcourse in afghanistan. paul wolfowitz just got a promotion to president of the world bank.Low approval ratings will impact his ability to suceed with almost everyone of his upcoming iniatives. The president does not have the right to just do as he pleases, he needs approval from congress and the senate.foreign policy is an area where the president has the most freedom to act unilaterally; and this is the president that has executed a record number of executive orders to date. he still has some to operate. i do agree that his current failings on social security and dismal approval ratings could derail much of his domestic agenda.
