Robert Novak appears to believe that the changes in Social Security being pushed by President Bush will not survive passage through Congress without major changes.
Is he misunderestimating the President, as has been done by so many others before?
Possibly… but Social Security is referred to as the “third rail” of politics for a reason. Could it be that despite the current positive trends in the MidEast the Bush administration could fail on the domestic front? It would be an ironic contrast to the fate of President Lyndon Johnson.
