 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush likes big ideas. Yet his second term shows the risk — big collapses.
He lost his bid Thursday to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, just as he had to shelve his attempt to reshape Social Security earlier. Bush had begun his second term talking boldly of ending tyranny in the world, but the bloodshed in Iraq has narrowed his focus and turned much of the country against him.
So what's left? Plenty, his advisers say, even though this latest loss clearly hurt.
