Bush's "Second Term Agenda" is a real "Where's The Beef" moment
Agenda? WHAT Agenda? It's the same old talking points, same old "sign the contract now, we'll fill in the blanks so you don't have to wait around here" crap:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,126432,00.html

"This nation is on a rising path, and with four more years we'll achieve more growth, new and higher-paying jobs and greater opportunity for all of our citizens," Bush told nearly 7,000 campaign donors who contributed $23 million to Republican lawmakers. "When men and women have a sound education and the skills to seize new opportunities and the security of health care, they will achieve great things for themselves and for our nation."

Bush offered only broad outlines of what his priorities would be, and no specific new initiatives. Aides said those will come later.

"Now we must move forward and make sure our high schools are doing their jobs as well," Bush said. "Every high school diploma must mean that our graduates are prepared for jobs, for college and for success." He did not elaborate.

Bush also said he would focus on moving more people from welfare to jobs, expanding homeownership and increasing the control Americans have over their retirement savings. Each of those items has long been on Bush's agenda.

2. Great, more testing, less funding in high schools as well
Yeah, it worked so well the first time, no time like the present to expand Neil Bush's education testing contracts and software, uh, I mean, opportunity and hope to public schools nationwide.

Brilliant fucking concept, Chimpo!
