BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - President Bush is distancing himself from suggestions that he wants to replace the federal income tax with a national sales tax, saying "People shouldn't worry about me raising taxes."

Bush created a stir earlier this week when, in response to question from a supporter at a campaign forum in the Florida Panhandle, he said such a tax is "an interesting idea that we ought to explore seriously."

The administration quickly denied the president was seriously considering such a tax, and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry suggested such a plan would impose a new burden on working families.

Ain't it great to have the "adults in charge" once again?
