You think this article is helpful? You think someone who is unemployed and about to lose his home to foreclosure will become convinced by something like this to vote Republican?

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Conservatives who plan to punish Bush with their votes are punishing the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. This article deals with the reasons and I will deal with the person.

Presidents should not and do not micro-manage the economy. They can only try to lead and point us in a direction.

The congress on the other hand, makes the laws and determinations. The congress is the entity for which voting will determine policy. Not the president, he deals with macro, not micro economics. He deals with the big picture, and cannot/should not be pegged for single issue mentality voting.

Although so many do.

The congress no longer makes trade negotiations. That is the job of Robert Zoelick. He is the minister of trade appointed by the president to the WTO created by uconstitutional congressional action, which makes most of our international trade law for us.

The president signed into law fast track authority. This is micromanaging trade negotiations to the ultimate. So whether the president should not micromanage trade, he does in a big way.
