(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BUSH: We made two steps forward on immigration. We took a step back. And now I'm going to work with those who are focused on getting an immigration bill done and start taking some steps forward again. And I believe we can get it done. I'll see you at the bill signing.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: All right, he guaranteed it -- "I'll see you at the bill signing." That means he's going to sign this legislation into law. Not only will it have to pass the Senate, it will have to pass the House of Representatives. The two chambers will have to agree on some sort of common language and then he's going to be at the signing ceremony.

Does he know what he's talking about?

GERGEN: Well, maybe he knows something we don't know, but I doubt it. You know, I wouldn't bet the farm on it, Wolf. It's going to be extremely difficult.

What is it he's going to bring to the table?

1. This is it! Signing Statements NOT ATTACHED to legislation.

You know it's what he wants that counts...

If he can negate laws he doesn't like with signing statements, why not just issue the signing statement independently?

9. I think they are called decrees

And I believe he has done plenty of them as well.

2. I wouldn't even ask him the time of day

:rofl:

6. Didn't his watch get stolen in Albania?

So he probably doesn't know the time!!1!!

:rofl:

7. According to Bush...

...he lost his watch when the big hand was on the nine and the little hand was on the eleven.

8. I thought it was just stuck at that exact time!

At least for seven LONG minutes, according to the videos I have seen!

10. Yeah, that's the deal!

:hi:

[fooj]

3. "What is it he's going to bring to the table?"

How about documentation from a coupla NSA wiretaps? He's not just spying on the Dems. Take that one to the bank.

4. LOL! Wolfie usually channels Bush and explains things for Cafferty

:rofl:

Almost every night, they have dialog that goes something like...
Cafferty: "What the hell is he talking about?"
Wolfie: "Well, the President says that (read WH talking points verbatim)"

5. COMPREHENSIVE means long-term.

Bush has promised his slave owners that he would tie up their labor force for the foreseeable future. He's going to keep pushing this shit; we can only hope the Dems stop playing along.
