days may be the one on Dan Bartlett's car radio. Congressional anger over President George W. Bush's decision to allow a Dubai-owned company to operate terminals at major U.S. ports had been at a low boil for days before the White House got its first inkling of the furor: Bartlett, the presidential counselor, happened to tune in to conservative talk-show host Michael Savage on the way home from work. By the time the President moved to quash it several days later with assurances that he wouldn't have allowed the deal "if there was any chance that this transaction would jeopardize the security of the United States," it was far too late to quell the Republican rebellion. "This freight train had already left the station," says a Bush aide. And the President's threat to use his first-ever veto was no obstacle to its momentum.Mon, 27 Feb 2006 16:34:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/20/port.security/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/20/port.security/index.htmlPresident Bush on Monday faced political pressure to block a deal that would give a United Arab Emirates-based company management of six major U.S. seaports.Mon, 20 Feb 2006 12:41:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/30/bush.sotu/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/30/bush.sotu/index.htmlPresident Bush will attempt to revive his presidency with an "upbeat" State of the Union address that stresses kitchen-table issues such as energy and health care, according to his spokesman.Tue, 31 Jan 2006 02:00:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/11/18/murtha.iraq/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/11/18/murtha.iraq/index.htmlThe White House accused a senior House Democrat -- and a decorated Vietnam veteran -- who called for a swift withdrawal from Iraq of advocating surrender, comparing him to anti-war filmmaker Michael Moore.Fri, 18 Nov 2005 16:25:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/12/katrina.governor.tm/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/12/katrina.governor.tm/index.htmlWednesday morning, August 31, two days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, Blanco was frantic.Mon, 12 Sep 2005 21:27:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/23/iraq.main/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/23/iraq.main/index.htmlIraq's interim prime minister said Tuesday that lawmakers have made great strides in writing the country's new constitution and have been able to bridge gaps on many issues.Tue, 23 Aug 2005 10:58:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/03/06/cia.interrogation/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/03/06/cia.interrogation/index.htmlThe CIA has been allowed to secretly transfer terrorism suspects overseas for interrogation, a former U.S. official said Sunday, but a White House spokesman denied that the United States used the practice to "export torture."Mon, 07 Mar 2005 01:57:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/02/02/state.union/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/02/02/state.union/index.htmlIt's one of those opportunities the president has every year to set the nation's agenda, and by all accounts he will do so Wednesday tonight.Wed, 02 Feb 2005 21:27:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/17/hersh.iran/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/17/hersh.iran/index.htmlThe Pentagon is criticizing an article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh that says the United States has been carrying out reconnaissance missions in Iran to identify nuclear, chemical and missile sites for possible airstrikes as soon as this summer.Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:47:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/16/bush.iraq/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/16/bush.iraq/index.htmlU.S. President George W.
