Bush pressures Congress

Just a quick note on what items are being discussed this week in Congress. Bush's items of importance include reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, to update the Federal Housing Administration, and a free trade agreement with Colombia.

The most interesting of the items seemed to be the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). It appears that Bush is concerned about Americans being able to stay in their homes, and that Congress needs to "modernize" the FHA to help people out. I haven't heard much about this yet, but it will be interesting to see what progress Congress will make on this issue, and if it'll be too late for many Americans to stay in their homes.
