Bush: America embraced my agenda

WASHINGTON -- Contending Americans have embraced his conservative agenda, President Bush pledged Thursday to aggressively pursue major changes in Social Security, the tax code and medical malpractice awards, working with Democrats if they are receptive and leaving them behind if they're not.

''I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it,'' Bush said a day after a decisive victory that made him the first president in 68 years to win re-election and gain seats in both the House and Senate.

''I'll reach out to everyone who shares our goals,'' said Bush, who 24 hours earlier had promised to try to win over those who voted for his Democratic opponent.

Buoyant and relaxed on Thursday, Bush cracked jokes at his first post-election news conference and said he had not decided on any changes in his Cabinet for the second term. He took congratulatory calls from world leaders from Russia, Poland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and Italy before flying to Camp David for four days of rest after the grueling campaign

Can his fucking administration do anything that doesn't piss me off? Now it's this post-election spin about an overwhelming victory, a mandate, blah blah etc.

America embraces your ideas?

55.94 FUCKING MILLION AMERICANS (record number of votes AGAINST btw) would like to argue that notion.

*sigh*
