George Bush actually said...

"I think the President has made his views very clear, that all ideas are on the table as far as he's concerned, with the exception of increasing the payroll tax rate."

"We would hope that the Democrat leaders would start coming to the table with ideas for solving the problem, instead of simply standing in the way of solutions."

"To me, that says we got a problem."

"This is a time when we should be welcoming ideas, not getting into ruling things out."
