[at-l] OT morfed from sox and other stuff

[gadog430 at charter.net (Gadog430)]

No President, except George Bush, has ever had to deal with the realities of a Post 9/11 world. 
Dealing with people who kill 3000 of your fellow citizens is an expensive deal...especially if you want 
to keep them from killing 3000 more. Or would you rather let them have at it?

  '06 seems like such a long time away.  Just so happens, I'm mentally ready to 
  leave NOW!  Taking one out my fearless leaders playbook, I think I'll charge 
  it.

  Hey, take a look at his first move...  Request that congress raise the debt 
  ceiling.

  WASHINGTON Nov 3, 2004 ? The Bush administration announced Wednesday that it 
  will run out of maneuvering room to manage the government's massive borrowing 
  needs in two weeks, putting more pressure on Congress to raise the debt 
  ceiling when it convenes for a special post-election session. 

  Treasury Department officials announced that they will be able to conduct a 
  scheduled series of debt auctions next week to raise $51 billion. However, an 
  auction of four-week Treasury bills due to be completed on Nov. 18 will have to 
  be postponed unless Congress acts before then to raise the debt ceiling. 

  "Due to debt limit constraints, we currently do not have the capacity to 
  settle our four-week bill auction scheduled to settle on Nov. 18," Timothy 
  Bitsberger, acting assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets, said in a 
  statement. 

  Congress is scheduled to return for a lame-duck session beginning on Nov. 16 
  to deal with the debt ceiling, an omnibus spending plan for the rest of this 
  budget year and other matters.

  The Republican-controlled Congress put off dealing with the debt ceiling 
  before adjourning in October, preferring not to force members to vote on the 
  politically sensitive issue of adding to the national debt before the November 
  elections.
