Bush banks on political capital for second term:

This is why many people are worried about Bush's second term:

"'I earned capital in the campaign--political capital--and now I intend to spend it,' Bush told a news conference a day after Democrat John Kerry conceded the election to the president and the two men talked about the need for unity."

These aren't the words of someone looking to heal a nation - them's "fightin'" words. He clearly feels he has a mandate to do whatever the hell he wants - no matter who gets trampled.

Bush want's to leave a legacy - destroying Social Security is one area he hopes to put his mark on - but it will be a legacy of debt and destruction. Our environment, our relationships with the world and our economy. It won't be four years and out - it'll be decades of work to undo the disaster of Bush2.
