...meantime, Bush says, Congress must exercise restraint on the 13 major spending bills being considered before the new fiscal year starts on Oct. 1. "Don't overspend," Bush cautioned Congress during a press conference near his Texas ranch last Friday. "One of my jobs as President is to make sure we keep fiscal sanity in the budget." But Democrats argue that it was Bush who started the insanity--with the same tax cut he is hailing as a cure-all.

...Mexican President has ever had the chemistry with a U.S. President that Fox has with George W. Bush.

While Laura Bush left the White House early to get the ranch in Crawford, Texas, ready for a month-long holiday (one of the longest in presidential history), the President rushed through some last-minute errands. He didn't have to worry about canceling the papers or stopping the mail. He did have to resuscitate his education plan, persuade lawmakers to vote for his industry-friendly energy proposals and get his preferred version of HMO reform through the House...
