White House Week

Posted Sunday, September 24, 2006



Five to six major issues, including a second try at reforming Social Security, will top President Bush's lame-duck term. White House spokesman Tony Snow said that the list will also include further tax changes, a healthcare proposal, an education initiative, and more on the war on terrorism. He also said that Bush will most likely build on the piecemeal immigration legislation expected to be passed in Congress with the goal of a broader reform program. Snow said that Bush is planning a much more eventful final two years than presidents normally do. One reason, he said: Bush is less concerned about his long-term legacy than about trying to fix problems. Normally in years seven and eight, said Snow, presidents usually "pack up your Bermuda shorts and figure out what you're going to do." But he said this administration is operating under the motto: "You can't waste a day."
