Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
Huge cheers and fanfare for President George W Bush Thursday afternoon -- as he took the oath of office for a second time.
The traditional pomp and circumstance of the inauguration took place under un-precedented post 9/11 security.
After being sworn-in Mr. Bush addressed the nation from the steps of the Capitol pledging to spread freedom to all corners of the world.

script iconIntro Linda Fowler
Return to index of stories...
George W Bush is now laying the groundwork for his 2nd term -- on which he will walk off into history.
The next 2 years -- before he's perceived as a lame duck -- will be the most powerful period of his presidency --with no election distraction and a majority in Congress.
Here to talk about what lies ahead: Linda Fowler, Professor of Government at Dartmouth College.
Q LINDA: George Bush's APPROVAL rating is at 52-Percent: the LOWEST DECEMBER rating for a re-elected President in GALLUP history.
Only Richard Nixon was lower.
What will that mean for the President's 2nd term?
Q George Bush made history just winning a 2nd term.
What's he likely TO spend his newly won POLITICAL CAPITAL on?
** Has to act quickly -- come mid-term he'll be perceived as a LAME DUCK?
Q Country still as POLARIZED as it was BEFORE the election:
The war remains un-popular. Insurgent attacks INCREASE as the elections in Iraq
near. How is that likely to play in his ability to get his agenda thru?
Special challenges in being a WAR-TIME President?
Q He comes into a 2nd term with a Majority in Congress -- does that bode well for his domestic agenda?
* If the White House can keep Republicans in Congress under control -- the President's agenda has potential to make real gains. TRUE?
Q When you look at other recent 2nd termers --
Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon.
What lessons should Bush learn from them to guide him in a 2nd term?
Q Will History be kind to George Bush? How and on what will he be judged?
Q Conservative base propelled him into office -- will conservative Republicans work with hm in Congress?
script iconIntro Dean Spiliotes
Return to index of stories...
Also here with some perspective on the road ahead for George W Bush:
Dean Spillioties -- a Visiting Scholar at Saint Anselm College.
Q DEAN: So, No Honeymoon expected for George Bush the 2nd time around.
Let's talk about his AGENDA. Social Security, Tax Reform -- Deficit Reduction --
What is he likely to tackle FIRST.
Q DEAN: Some have suggested democrats are loaded for Bear -- don't want to give the president what he wants on Social Security and other issues.
Will this be a rough congressional term for Bush?
* Reagan tried to tackle the social security issue -- consious emulation of Reagan
* First time since 20's that a Republican President has been elected with a
Majority in Congress.
* Confirmation hearing for his cabinet -- not particularly smooth, in particular Sec of State nominee Condaleeza Rice -- an indication of what it will be like in coming months?
script iconDean Spiliotes
Return to index of stories...
BETH: This is a WAR TIME INAUGURAL -- yet no direct mention of Iraq.
He did say quote: "Our country has accepted obligations that are difficult to fulfill and would be dishonorable to abandon,". He also said the KEY to safety at home -- is the spread of democracy abroad.
======
out: in all the world runs:31
=====
** Freedom was the one BIG theme. Sounds like he wants to do BIG things--has a big vision. That usually means conflict.
Q What Message was he sending to the world -- and to Americans?
** Governor John Lynch left Inaugural events to come home --after NH was put on
stand-by due to a potential terrorist threat in neighboring MA -- another indication of
the post 9-11 world we live in.
=========================
BETH: There were protests along the Inauguration route. Just another indication of how SPLIT the country is about the President. Polls show 49% believe he's a UNITER -- 49% believe he's a DIVIDER.
Was it a UNITING speech?
How will the polarization affect his ABILITY to get his agenda thru?
======================
Set a positive tone on Inauguration -- The test will come in the days ahead.
wants to do BIG things -- and that brings conflict? Ambitious foreign policy.
=======================
BETH: Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist administred the oath of office for the 5th and possibly final time. Rehnquist is suffering from thyroid cancer. Whether he ever returns to the bench is unclear. His departure would be the first vacancy since 19-93.
Q Would it be Safe to say the battle over a SUPREME court Nominee will likely be the President's first HUGE battle of his 2nd term?
* First opening since 19-93
=================
Q How will His 2ND term be different than the FIRST?
Q What's he likely to build his LEGACY upon.
Q Will History be kind -- how and on what will he be JUDGED?
Alluded to Ownership society -- what is that all about?

Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist - who's in ailing health -- administered the oath of office for the 5th and possibly final time.
Rehnquist is suffering from thyroid cancer.
Whether he ever returns to the bench is unclear.

script iconIntro Spaulding Band
Return to index of stories...
Spaulding High School's "Red Raider Marching Band" certainly kept in step
with Inaugural events.
The Rochester band performed on a stage near the White House before the Inaugural parade kicked off.
Chip Neal took in a recent rehearsal of the band before they headed to D-C for the big day.

Pres Bush -- approval ratings
Made history just winning a 2nd term
reached place in history -- now question -- has he been underestimated on what he's able and willing to do in 2nd term.have bargaining skills to pull off at least one major
legislative item
mid-term election -- all baout 2008 /will act quickly
before he's perceived as a lame duck
A big decision-- no pullout date for tropps in iraq -- sticking with it.
time table ever set up
2nd big decision --domestically --sdequence of event what bill goes off first --
soc, security what does he go afte first.
tax reform, medical malpractice
power of presidency about persuasion and bargaining.
if he bargins with dem's now.will conservagive reps bargain with him later.
what lessons draw from Reagan's 2nd term ?
What happens in Iraq.if goes well.domestic agenda easier.
if trouble.direction of country will be problem.
don't know how economy will come along.could help legislative agenda
If iraq becomes like Vietnam.
question ability to proceed with domestic agenda
**A new video shows eight Chinese
construction workers being held hostage by insurgents in Iraq.

Insurgent attacks increase as election draws near --aren't likely to left up after.
Congress by 2nd term figured out how to usurp power from President
regardless of power
overhual of social security -- privatization of contributions
What';s different about 2nd term.
Polls have Bush
unity behind Bush
What can we learn from history that will guide a president in a 2nd term.
How will 2nd bush administration be different than the first.
What are advantages, disadvantages of a 2nd term?
Is Bush's doctrine -- born in rubble of world trade center-- is a 2st century version of Truman's containment -
Richard Nixon -- took a lot to bring him down, unfriendly relationswith congress and media.
Like FDR
What about his Cabinet?
a week after re-election.he choose
Alberto Gonzalez, a mexican american to be next A.G.
Condloeeza Rice, african american woman to be sec of state
Margaret Spellings -- a white woman to be next Sec of Education
Carlos Gutierrez, a cuban American, as sec of comerce
Gov Mike Johanns of Nebraska as Agric Secretary
Norman Mineta -- asian american stay on as Transp Sec
Elaine Chao-- asian american at Labor
Supreme Court Nomination to come
certainly a lot of diversity -- has appointed the 2 most diverse cabinets in us history
Raise possibility that GOP could become more attractive to traditional constituences like the Latino community.
Hispanic community gave President 40% of its vote in 2004 -- up from
35% in 2000.
Q He's conducting an unpopular War, the economy What does it take to have a successful 2nd term?
Surpassed both men in winning bigger majorities in congress and the statehouses. Did it all while conducting an unpopular war.-- economy on tiptoes -- and public conflicted about him.
** although the President's party usually loses ground in mid-season, Republicans made historic gains with Bush's help.
