Editor's note: Kelly posted the following in our sister blog, First Read, but since Nightly News will cover the story extensively tonight, I'm posting it here as well.
More White House build-up to President Bush's third speech on the war on terror at 1:30 p.m.: Senior Bush advisors say the speech and the accompanying proposal to correct the military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees, which the U.S. Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional back in June, will generate an "enormous amount of news." When asked by the press corps if they're raising expectations, White House spokesperson Tony Snow responded, "We're gonna deliver today," and, "Trust me, it's better than you think." However, he would not provide any further guidance on the "enormous amount of news" of the speech. Hill lawmakers will be briefed before the speech today.

Early Nightly is up
Wait! Breaking News! Pre Election Speech!
9/11...terror....IRAQ...terror...9/11...must connect Iraq to 9/11.
The sheer fact that CNN showed that the RNC was ranking moral issues as second to terror rather than the economy or Iraq says they are pandering for votes, which I (as an independent) will not give them this time around.
Finally I hope Carl Rowe realizes that a majority of americans are no longer stupid sheep who dont recognize the same rumpled pre election speech coming out.
Wake up RNC, it is not 2004 and the elections are coming fast.

Sounds like some people just can't be satisfied no matter what the President does...and that suits me just fine.
The President takes the high road, and follows the Supreme Court's ruling, and of course, the liberals take the low road, and accuse him of not following the law, or pandering for votes.
What incredibly ignorant viewpoints liberals seem to have.
Sounds more like drunken/stoned David Gregory rants than rational arguments.

Here's your enormous news:
George W. Bush - defender of the Constitution - does not live by any law he doesn't like.
The President of the United States of America is above the laws he's sworn to protect and enforce, and above any court decision he disagrees with.

Listen up, everyone. Today is the day that Bush tries to satisfy everyone who disagrees with him. No doubt his powerbase has told him to mend a few fences while sounding Presidential. Gotta save those votes for the Republicans, don't you know.
