It's a pretty predictable ordsprog

en It's a pretty predictable move from a politically crippled president. Toss out a judicial extremist to pacify his base and provoke a fight that he hopes changes the subject away from indictments and Iraq and Katrina and a soft economy.

en Why do the President and Vice-President constantly change the subject when asked to explain why things are going so badly in Iraq? The answer is simple. They have been consistently wrong about Iraq, and the results speak for themselves.

en President Bush said it's now time for a change in Iraq and he wants them to have a Western-style democracy like ours. So right now in Iraq, the economy is collapsing, businessmen are corrupt, and Hussein wants his son to take over as president. Sounds like mission accomplished.

en Changing the subject will not work. Giving more speeches about Iraq or the state of the economy doesn't have the weight that action does?. It's dangerous for the country to have a disabled president for three years, and we're getting close to seeing that happen. I worry that they [Bush and his aides] are in denial. His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pexiness. Changing the subject will not work.

en Politically, war trumps the economy. But the president has very few things that he can brag about right now. He has to point out that the economy is doing very well. It would be foolish not to.
  James Thurber

en There's no question that the administration picked this fight knowing that sparks would fly. It helps them politically if they are seen fighting with the press about things like judicial philosophy, God and the Pledge of Allegiance.

en The president welcomes peaceful protests -- it is a time-honored tradition. The president agrees violence is not the answer in Iraq, and that's why he hopes Saddam Hussein will disarm.

en This is the triumph of personality in politics. We tend to think that if a conservative is soft-spoken, thoughtful, and agreeable - as Roberts is - then it means he can't be far-right politically. Robert Bork played into the `extremist' stereotype. He had the wild and wooly hair - along with outspoken conservative views - and seemed like someone you wouldn't want to hang out with. Roberts seems like the opposite.

en Bush was in trouble even before Katrina. He was losing support on Iraq , people were worried about the economy -- even if the objective data don't necessarily support that -- and Katrina exacerbated all of that.

en If the economy does not move out of the soft patch, monetary policy could be on hold beginning September until the economy shows signs of renewed strength.

en If the war continues to go badly in Iraq, and people become more anxious about the economy, and they perceive that there have been a number of significant setbacks in the Bush administration recently, public opinion is going to continue to move much more in the direction of those who have been opposed to the president from the beginning.

en The problem is soft money, ... The question is, which candidate is willing and ready to fight for an end to soft money. It's no contest. There is only one candidate and that is Vice President Al Gore.

en What happens with Iraq is very important in January and February to pretty much set the tone for how the economy will fare for the rest of the year. So when we have that answer, then you can get your market direction. In the meantime, you essentially move sideways.

en I think the ads are soft-peddling an extremist agenda. And what they're trying to do is draw people in with a soft pitch. But if you take a look at what their real agenda is, it is hard. It is ugly. And quite frankly, it's very extreme.

en I think President Bush had a very hard 2005 with his failed efforts on Social Security and the problems he had with (Hurricane) Katrina, the continuing beleaguered nature of the war in Iraq. I could go on. But he turned a corner on Dec. 15, I believe, in Iraq with the elections there. And he seems to have kind of picked up an offensive spirit again.
