It's where all the power is you know...

President Bush signaled yesterday that he would add personal investment accounts to the Social Security system, simplify the tax code without raising taxes and cut the budget deficit in half, all before he leaves office in 2009.

So-called "analysts" don't think he can pull it off. Don't they know he has a mandate?

Via Josh Marshall we find out that the dollar continues to sink against some other important currencies. Never fear, Bush has a mandate.

But John B. Taylor, the Treasury undersecretary for international affairs, defended the Bush administration view that the deficits pose no danger of a dollar collapse. He issued a detailed rebuttal of what he called "scare stories."

BRILLIANT!

Media Matters is trying to kill the Bush mandate with stupid facts. Don't they get it? Facts don't matter, only mandates matter. Like the one Clinton had...

Yeah! This is great! This is going to be an awesome mandate.

The Bush administration has been working for months to keep an upcoming eight-nation report from endorsing broad policies aimed at curbing global warming, according to domestic and foreign participants, despite the group's conclusion that Arctic latitudes are facing historic increases in temperature, glacial melting and abrupt weather changes.

State Department representatives have argued that the group, which has spent four years examining Arctic climate fluctuations, lacks the evidence to prepare detailed policy proposals. But several participants in the negotiations, all of whom requested anonymity for fear of derailing the Nov. 24 report, said officials from the eight nations and six indigenous tribes involved in the effort had ample science on which to draft policy.
