Replace Economy words with Iraq and War - Think Back to Oct 11, 2003
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Monday said negotiators were making "good headway" on legislation to provide an unprecedented $700 billion bailout of financial markets and that he was confident a measure to prevent lasting damage to the economy could be enacted.
"Failure to act would have broad consequences far beyond Wall Street. It would threaten small business owners and homeowners on Main Street," Bush said in a statement.
Replace Economy with Iraq and war.
Bush/Cheney forced Congress's hand on Oct 11, 2002 also - remember? He got them to sign onto the war with Iraq resolution.
He used the Election 2003 to get them to vote FOR IT. And they did - fearing they'd be called WEAK on defense otherwise.
They are once again doing it - forcing Congress's hand to get broader authority before Nov 4th election day.
