It can't hurt the president to remove himself from the current context of scandals, miscues and partisanship and put him in a statesman setting. |
It's a good place to talk about politics and sports. |

Playing at this level, it's ... a much faster game, and I've seen improvement (in my game). They've been on me about my play defensively down low, and I've made improvements there, and they're using me on the penalty-kill more and more. |

Right now Mississippi is at the top ebb of the sort of power curve and Louisiana is in a bit of a slump. |
The exemplary focus, discipline and execution that was so prevalent during (Bush's) first term is sorely lacking. |
The guy is an animal, and I'm saying that in terms of fund-raising. If there's ever been this big of a disparity between the Republican and Democratic senatorial committees, particularly with the Democrats in the minority, I can't remember it. |
The last vestiges of the strength he got from his handling of 9/11 are gone. |

The president looks terrible. The administration is kind of playing catch-up now. |
The quickest, simplest, easiest thing a home-owner can do is to create a defensible space around their home. |
The risk is enormous to Democrats. Even talking about censure or impeachment threatens to really agitate the Republican base. |
The swagger is gone from this White House. |
