Things Are Going Quite Well For W

W must really be feeling pretty good about life these days. First there was the historic election, where he actually gained seats for his party midway though his first term. Then the mighty United Nations Security Council voted unanimously his way on the Iraq resolution. Next, the lame duck 107th Congress was poised to hand him yet another victory with a Homeland Security bill he can sign. The House passed the bill on a 229-121 vote Wednesday. A couple procedural votes in the Senate, including one to kill a Democratic version that gave additional protection to workers, tilted toward W as well. Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle said the Senate was expected to act within the next few days and that "I'm inclined to support final passage." He added that Democrats wanted to see the bill move forward despite lingering concerns over labor provisions.
