부시, 15% 감세 연장법 서명

 

Hey, glad you’re with us. I’m Sophia Choi. And here are the headlines. We’re calling it a good day for Americans. President Bush has signed a $70 billion tax cut 감세, 세금감면 extension bill. Critics say it benefits rich investors and adds to the deficit 적자. The president says it helps create jobs. And pretty amazing video right here of the US Navy sinking a decommissioned <배·비행기 등의> 취역을 해제한, 휴업한 aircraft carrier 항공 모함. The USS Oriskany off the coast of Florida. Scores of Vietnam and Korean War vets 퇴역군인 watched the detonation 폭발 from nearby chartered 용선 계약을 한, 전세낸 ships.

 

알 고어, 부시 행정부 비난

 

President Bush addressed the nation on Monday night about immigration reform. Just 2 nights earlier, a former rival addressed the nation about what life would be like if he were president. Yeah, Al Gore got big laughs for his appearance on Saturday Night Live 방송의> 코미디 프로. So you gotta wonder, is this a sign that he wants another crack at ~에 대한 시도 the White House? Brian Todd looks into all the buzz 흥분, 열광. He’s at least got the line down <구어> ~을 낙심시키다. “I don’t have any plans to be a candidate 후보자 again. Thank you.” A line he’s used with reporters more than once recently. But does his recent behavior tell another story? Take his promoting a new documentary on global warming. Attacking the Bush administration’s wiretapping program. “That the president of the United States has been breaking the law.”

 

Or goofing 바보짓을 하다 on Saturday Night Live about the problems we’d be facing if only 다만 ~만이라도 his last campaign had gone differently. “We have way 훨씬 too much gasoline. Gas is down to $.19 a gallon and oil companies are hurting.” Isn’t this a guy who wants to stay in the game? “I think there’s no doubt about it. He’s a celebrity 유명인. He likes the limelight  <비유> 주목의 대상 and he needs the limelight to get his ideas out.” Democrats close to Gore tell us there’s no indication 조짐 he’ll run in 2008, pointing out he’s not raising money for himself. Not lining up 모으다, 확보하다 teams of advisors. But should he run, how would Al Gore stack up now against ~에 필적하다, 뒤지지 않다 Hillary Clinton or John Kerry?
