Bush Plans to Revive Social Security Proposal With New Congress

President George W. Bush said ... that he will return to overhauling Social Security as a top domestic priority for his last two years in office....

The top items on the agenda, Bush said, are immigration and Social Security....

Bush's plan to let workers divert a portion of their Social Security payroll taxes to private savings accounts ... never made it to a legislative proposal in the face of broad public and congressional opposition.

On immigration, Congress deadlocked over a proposal favored by Bush....

"They're still alive," Bush said of the two proposals....

Hey, and maybe after that he can rehire Brownie! And reopen the Terri Schiavo case! And sell some ports to Dubai!

You know, I can understand the Bush portrayed in today's New York Times article, the one who's just trying to keep the base motivated by exuding confidence. But the fact that Bush pointedly prioritized his immigration plan, which his base hates, and his Social Security plan, which appalled everyone else, suggests that his narcissistic personality disorder is trumping any political instincts he might have. That narcissism makes him unable ever to admit that he's licked. (See, of course, Iraq.) It's high time everyone realized that Bush isn't a simple, straightforward guy -- he's a neurotic.
