 Did I say that the President's entire job is image management? Of course not. |
| On immigration, there are a lot of hurdles before anything arrives at the White House. |
| Is it unreasonable to have proof of citizenship when entering another country? |
| Journalists are accused of being lapdogs when they don't ask the hard questions, but then accused of being rude when they do. Good thing we have tough hides. |
| The common agenda both sides seem to share is: Whatever works. |
| A lot of Democrats are not that upset with Howard Dean. Howard Dean gets out here and he says these inflammatory things, and he doesn't apologize. He doesn't back down a little bit. |

| The President has launched a very agressive campaign of self-defense, with the goal of getting Americans to buy into his vision of America on the world stage. |
| We're not paying attention to the fact that Hillary Clinton is running in 2006. Everyone is looking to her for the future. It's the same with anybody else who's positioning themselves. |
