1. the only way he can save the presidency is for him, and his entire maladministration, to
resign in the disgrace and ignominy they so truly deserve (and then turn themselves in to the ICC voluntarily)

2. I think that's just his speechwriters doin' their thing.
He's still delusional and full of crap.

Any kind of change of course is unacceptable to his coke-damaged, drip-dry cowboy brain.

5. You are probably right...
I suspect that talking about health care and saving gas will go the way of the manned mission to Mars.

3. I think the center would kick him out...
Too little, too late. Nice that he discovers a domestic policy six years into his presidency.

6. Sorry, but this administration is irreparably damaged goods....
All they can aspire to now is not to be regarded as the worst administration in U.S. history.

7. You mean, will he lie and pretend to go slightly centrist?
Nah. These phony statements are a huge Up Yours and Watcha Gonna Do About It to the nation.

10. What is there to save? He is done in 2 years.
There is no way the Dems in congress are going to waste precious time in impeaching him.

12. No way. Bush is stalling, plain and simple.
He's going to create as much of a legislative log-jam as possible on every issue to keep the status quo going until he's out in 2008. Then he can blame all of his own screw-ups on the next administration. This is what he's living for. It's his ONLY hope.

Expect a lot of impossible domestic promises and a whole lot of outrageous foreign policy edicts tonight. That's all he's got left to salvage some kind of "legacy".

13. Nope, he'd probably rather flip us all the bird
right there on teevee. It's just the kind of guy he is...
