Obviously, Social Security reform isn't going anywhere this Congress.

I would devote 2006 to guest worker visas and making the tax cuts permanent.

I would go with that.  I would also expand the push for more alternative energy growth.

He should focus on victory in Iraq, and on an energy policy that does not compromise our national security and leave us economically vulnerable.

He should resign too. But the question only asked about Bush.

Everyone in line should resign down to whatever cabinet secretary is most tolerable.

Perhaps Ted Stevens is more your cup of tea?

Ewwww. Not only is Condi not attractive at all (too old) but I tend not to be attracted to black women. I've only gotten a lapdance from one black stripper ever.

Total count is probably something like this:

Asians - 4 (would be more but we don't have too many Asians in Minnesota!)
Latinas - 5 or 6
Black - 1
Mullato - 1 (I think)
White - around 30

Condi (and Black women everywhere) breaths a sigh of relief.

Focus on:

1. Getting Samuel Alito, Jr. confirmed to the Supreme Court;

2. Getting the PATRIOT Act permanently extended;

3. Stabilizing Iraq as much as possible before we leave;

4. Immigration reform with a guest-worker program.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Social Security and Tax Code reforms should be left to another administration -there isn't time left for Bush to do much if anything beyond what I have enumerated.  This will be the last year in which the Bush administration has full power to do whatever it wants before it enters lame-duck status as the 2008 presidential elections get going after the 2006 midterms.

I am referring to comprehensive tax code reform -not the piecemeal moves you're talking about.

You said anything beyond what you enumerated.

And of course, if there's another Supreme Court vacancy this year, or next, he has time to fill that too.

Very well, I will revise my statement,

'Bush cannot accomplish much if anything beyond what I have already enumerated.' 

Happy?  And in any case, the four main priorities I have outlined that I think the Bush administration should focus on remain the same.  There may or may not be another opening on the Supreme Court, and I strongly doubt that either Ginsberg or John Paul Stevens will step down for the remainder of the Bush presidency, preferring to wait for a Democratic administration to replace them. 

And even if another Republican does succeed Bush in the White House, it will be he -and not George W. Bush- who will likely appoint their replacements if they either step down or die.

Something about immigration, it's going to become a huge issue at some point in Washington, it already is everywhere else.
