From the Seattle Times:
The president promised to remain focused on seeking peace in the Mideast, invigorating the economy, rebuilding the hurricane-shattered Gulf Coast and protecting it from the new storm approaching this weekend. At the same time, he said, "There's some background noise here, a lot of chatter, a lot of speculation and opining."
While Bush asserted that his agenda was moving ahead, his most ambitious domestic proposals on Social Security and taxes already have been shelved. GOP congressional leaders huddled with the president this week on a legislative agenda that had been pared to only the must-do items of the federal budget, Katrina recovery, Patriot Act renewal and the Miers nomination.
