...Look, I feel as if I had a good grasp of the situation before I went. It confirmed a lot of my beliefs with respect to the issues. I will tell you I was reminded - I think this is an important reminder, because you forget on the campaign trail sometimes - just how high troop morale remains despite the difficulties. I spend a lot of time talking to families who are trying to work through the mom or dad being gone for the third time, and it creates a huge burden on them at home. But when the troops...
Meanwhile, Back Home ... Although its attention was focused on crises abroad, the Administration did not forget about its notion of overhauling the U.S. healthcare system. The White House said it would propose that the government pay 20% or 30% of the medical benefits of early retirees; the figure had been 80% in earlier proposals.

And the corporate ethos of this Administration would be replaced by something dramatically, and perhaps chaotically, less programmed. And yet most voters aren't going to forget their feelings about the current President when they cast their ballots in November. After McCain secured his party's nomination in March, he visited the White House to receive a Rose Garden endorsement from the President. "Dutiful" did not begin to describe the event. But McCain needed Bush's blessing...
