I ran across this bumper sticker: "You can fool some of the people all of
the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on."
--- President George W. Bush, speaking at a Gridiron Club dinner,
Washington, D.C., March 2001

I wonder if the SS Reform fits into this category?

I am suspicious of his motivations--looks to me like private accounts are good for Wall Street. In fairness, it also seems it might bolster investment capital for American business. I am glad that he has opened the discussion.

As for fooling people, he and Rove are masters. They use fear very successfully and only retreat to lesser motivations when forced: first use the mushroom cloud and WMD, when that is seriously questioned, retreat to removing a tyrant and spreading democracy. And never, NEVER, admit you were wrong.
