No, but I would rather have 0.00023% of the Federal Budget on this ridiculous thing, than have Kerry or Dean as president.

This is election year -- Bush is throwing a very small crumb out, to disarm the Dems on this issue.

Politics is not idealism, it's the "art of the possible".

I trust that Bush and his advisers know what they are doing.

Just how many votes do you expect Bush to get with this move? And also, if it is miniscule, are you under the opinion that it will be a very, very close election?
