The Bush Doctrine comforts me and mine. It scares the bejeezeers out of him.
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks was calling on Bush to cancel the inauguration because that money should be sent to tsunami relief---he thought it was taxpayers money going to inauguration.
When told it was private funds, he said Bush would make a good example for Americans by foregoing the inauguration, parties, etc.,
I guess he didn't consider how many small businesses, hotels, airlines, taxis, caterers, would lose out bigtime if it is cancelled. Being an entrepeneur himself, I would have thought he might have thought of American entrepenuers before some of the charities. He suggested Bush donate to Red Cross, well that is another arguement!!
