Good Afternoon . . .
The President has hit the road to explain his proposals outlined in the State of the Union address. The President is visiting 5 states including North Dakota and Nebraska.
Noting the response from Democrats the President challenged Congress to "put partisanship aside and focus on saving Social Security."
Social Security reform is at the heart of the President's speech but he also touched on other issues including a constitutional amendment defining marriage, making the tax cuts permanent, and continued support for troops in Iraq and the forming government in Iraq.
Democrat congressional leaders say that they would work with the President, but any changes in Social Security will not survive the legislative process. Yahoo! News - Bush Starts to Sell Social Security Plan

The debate continues in the Senate over the nomination of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. While most agree he will be confirmed later today, Senate Democrats have taken the opportunity to vilify Gonzales as the architect of administration policies that led to prisoner abuse at Guantanamo and Iraq.
