...that is history now. He is our President for the next four years. And in wartime, that means we owe him a second chance in the conflict he is conducting. I hope he manages to find some Democrats to put in his Cabinet. I hope he realizes that his first-term strategy of reaching out only to his base was detrimental to the war effort and to the unity of the country as a whole. I hope we see more of the Bush who campaigned from the center in 2000 than the Bush who governed from the extreme right...
...January elections may also have been raised too high. The vote, after all, is just the start of a tortuous process.

The President still plans to cut $1 billion in Homeland Security funding in both...
...priority for your government given the pressures they put on the budget during a time of rising oil prices? Are you concerned with that price hikes could set off cause violent social unrest, as they have in the past? SBY: I've asked the relevant ministers in my cabinet to conduct an analysis of the impact of fuel prices on the budget and the subsidy policy. I've also asked them to review the 2005 budget. If the high price of fuel seriously burdens the budget in terms of subsidies I will have to set a policy for the future...
