Does Bush have anything at all planned for the final stretch of his term?
With the NIE bombshell and the Annapolis farce, IMHO Bush has run out of meaningful things that the Whitehouse would bother to publicly stump for.

At home many senior officials seem to be resigning for "family reasons", judges are handing some setbacks on the terror and environmental fronts and the VP is ill/missing in action.


The only thing officially mentioned in the news is an early 2008 trip/vacation to Israel. Will the rest 2008 be spent clearing brush and attending GOP fundraisers?
If not where will the clues come from? Would the State of the Union Address provide any meaningful insights?

8. Let's see, he has 412 days to go. He'll take a minimum of 40 as vacation. Make a few trips outside
the country, including Israel, using up another 10 days. That will give him a few months to spread the lies about Social Security privatization and the rest will be begging for money.

9. It takes less than 60 seconds to make the decision and disseminate the orders
...and then another 20 minutes to reek destruction and devastation on Iran and the region. After than WW IV with its nuclear exchange and within 48 hours 60.0 to 120.0 million dead followed by radiation sickness and suffering and more death and mass extinction of human life and other species around the world
