What should be his first law? Of course the obvious one would be to make all abortions illegal (well, if the Supreme Court can legislate from the bench, why shouldn&#8217;t Bush overturn their laws).

He could also enact a law that pays for healthcare for the uninsured and then force people like Kennedy, Feinstein, Reid, Clinton (both of them ), Al Gore,  and the owners of the MSM outlets and various celebrities to pay for it out of their own pockets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tag_list\">Tags: <span class=\"tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Bush\" rel=\"tag\">Bush<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Pelosi\" rel=\"tag\">Pelosi<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Congress\" rel=\"tag\">Congress<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/president\" rel=\"tag\">president<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/politics\" rel=\"tag\">politics<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doesn&#8217;t this picture remind you of the pictures of Bush when he meets foreign dignitaries?
