President Bush's top priority proverb

 President Bush's top priority is the safety and security of the American people. Since September 11, President Bush has restructured and reformed the federal government to focus resources on counterterrorism and to ensure the security of our homeland.

 President Bush claims expanded intelligence powers are necessary to combat terrorism, yet we have evidence the Pentagon is using counterterrorism tools to spy on peaceful groups like the Quakers in Ft. Lauderdale. Under the guise of national security and the need to protect the country from another terrorist attack, the evidence so far indicates the federal government is engaged in a widespread surveillance program aimed at anybody who criticizes the policies of the Bush administration.

 Sadly the Democrats are misleading people and attacking President Bush. As a matter of principle, we feel the American people have a right to the truth, which is that President Bush is working hard to rescue our economy, protect Social Security and Medicare and eliminate the national debt.

 Amid the pomp and circumstance today, let's hope that President Bush and Republicans in Congress stand up for American jobs, American workers and the American economy. It's time to put the needs of hard working Americans ahead of politics. Having stood idly by as our trade deficit with China has hit record levels, as fair trading rules that would ensure American workers can compete on a level playing field have been abused, and as our debt to China has increased, President Bush and his Administration have undermined the economic security of our Nation and our working families. Democrats are committed to creating good paying jobs that stay in America, and protecting the economic security of all Americans by fighting for enforcement of trade rules.

 [U.S. President George Bush has hailed the program as a success. In 2002 remarks to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, Bush suggested it had] hauled in about 2,400 of these terrorists, these killers. So we're making progress, we really are, ... But until we rout out every terrorist cell and every terrorist, until attitudes change about freedom in America, we've got to protect our homeland in a new way.

 [But Card wasn't there to prepare Bush for his meetings in Europe. Instead, he presented the President with a 1.5-in.-thick binder of eight policy options for reorganizing the Federal Government to guard against terrorist threats. Included was an idea Bush had resisted for months: the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the first new Cabinet-level department in more than a decade. Card walked Bush through the proposals and showed him a case study of how Harry Truman created the Pentagon in 1947. One option Bush rejected, Card says, was to move the National Guard from the Defense Department to the new department. And the overhaul did not encompass the agencies most in need of reform--the FBI and the sprawling U.S. intelligence community. Taking on those powerful bureaucracies would have meant a bigger war than Bush was ready to wage.] The options were gradations from do nothing to do it all, ... pretty close to do it all.

 The facts are that George Bush hasn't fully funded homeland security and has alienated our allies around the world. This is a cynical attempt to rescue the president's sinking poll numbers by using fear and politicizing our national security.

 The president has told us that he has the resources that he needs to fight this war, he has the resources that he needs to carry out homeland security, ... The president is the commander in chief. He is the one who is waging the war.

 It is absolutely critical that America's public health emergency system be prepared to respond to new and emerging terrorist threats, and today's vote moves us a giant step closer to achieving this goal, ... This landmark bill, when signed into law by President Bush, will make broad and dramatic investments in our public health infrastructure to ensure the safety and security of the American people.

 I am honored to be summoned to service by President-elect Bush and look forward to joining him in making bipartisan progress on the issues important to Americans. The federal surplus is a hard-earned accomplishment that belongs to the American people, and I am pleased to help the president-elect ensure that it is used for responsible goals.

 I was very concerned that President Bush is still trying to frighten or scare the American people with respect to the condition of the Social Security system.

 Since joining President Bush's administration in 2001, it has been a profound honor to serve our nation, the magnificent men and women of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and those of the Department of Homeland Security. I am grateful to the president for asking me to continue serving our armed forces as the deputy to [Defense] secretary [Donald] Rumsfeld.

 Three times since September 11, the president and congressional Republicans have refused to support Democratic efforts to provide additional resources to address America's most urgent homeland security needs,

 President Bush's wake-up call came awfully late. We are watching this devastation unfold on our televisions for days, and you have to ask: Where is the federal government? The National Guard's first priority must always be to protect people at home.

 Let me make this clear: I didn't want a fight. What I wanted from President Bush was a nominee about whom, win or lose, we could all be proud. Instead, turning to His Girl Harriet, President Bush for once thought small. And that means, on this one President Bush is already a loser.
