I'm Confused

President Bush recently said in a speech that "America is safer." In fact, according to the timecode on the Daily Show segement that reran the speech, Bush said "America is safer" four times in five minutes.

Why then is the administration even considering delaying or changing the elections based on the threat of a "catastrophic" terrorist attack, if we're so much safer thanks to Bush's policies?

I'm getting sick of the politics of fear.
