[George W. Bush]

Give them enough rope...

Luis, you are an hopeless optimist.

I'll merely point out that there are certain divisions of responsibility, federal/state/local, that are a part of divided government.

When the Dims finally get back into power and seize control of Bush's federal intrusion into education, I think you're going to regret your naivete. Hopefully it won't happen. But I've seen this stuff happen too many times.

Federalizing anything other than defense and highway systems is, in general, a liberal tactic. That's the Dim's game, not ours.

You should understand, Luis, that for me Bush's federalization of education is personal. Because of Bush's agenda in education, I will not run for a third term. It would be entirely futile. Maybe eight years is enough anyway. I know a lot of other conservative education activists who have reached the same conclusion.

The Clinton gang never defeated us. Bush has.

"...Bush's federal intrusion into education..."

So, this is Bush's fault as well.

Transparent.

Bush's federalization of education is personal

Do you mean that Bush created the Department of Education? The Public School System? BTW, do you what percentage of school district budgets are federal money?
