Bush looks for fix for airline delays

This is just fucking hilarious. Bush doesn't do polls (who cares what people think) and never flies commercial. But he found something he can tackle to look good and tackle it he did. Although he'll probably botch it.

President Bush promised on Thursday to take steps to reduce air traffic congestion and long delays that have left travelers grounded. "Endless hours sitting in an airplane on a runway with no communication between a pilot and the airport is just not right," he said.

Bush met in the Oval Office with Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and acting Federal Aviation Administrator Bobby Sturgell. The president urged Congress to look at legislation to modernize the FAA, and instructed Peters to report back to him quickly about ways to ensure that air passengers are treated appropriately and progress is made to ease congestion.

"We've got a problem," Bush said. "We understand there's a problem. And we're going to address the problem."

Jesus H Christ with too much time on his hands. That last paragraph is so damn funny. It sounds like the idiot Bush in full bloom: We be having problem. We understand da problem. We fix da problem.

Under tags, I almost always include "idiot" with "Bush". unnecessary?

White House reports little Iraqi progress on benchmarks

Ya see the thing is, ya always have to wait for the second shoe to drop and it usually does on a Friday.

In sharp contrast to the sunny tone that President Bush struck in his address to the nation Thursday night, the White House reported Friday that Iraq's leaders had made little headway over the past two months toward meeting 18 key benchmarks for progress aimed at ending high levels of sectarian violence.

Bush said Thursday that emerging success in Iraq had made it possible for him to start to withdraw troops, beginning with 5,700 who will leave Iraq by December. The president acknowledged that Shiite Muslim Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki's government had failed to achieve national reconciliation, but he said progress in local politics would lead to improvements at the national level.

How stupid can Bush be to lie to US on Thursday and then report he lied on Friday?

Is Homer Simpson eligible to run for president? Just asking.
