I heard Newt on with Tony Snow...he is awful...he is critcal of everything that President Bush has done...but he doesn't say how...

He just says that what we need is "someone who thinks creatively, outside of the box", instead of just throwing money at the problem...

NOw, I am not any happier than anyone else about just handing $2000 to people...

But, I dare say...that if President Bush did "think out of the box" he would be even more excoriated than he has been.

Newt may very well be campaigning for President in 2008. So he has to knock around the President as to look "better than Bush."

Did Tony call him on any of his comments? When people have an agenda, the person they are out to "get", in this case the President, that person is damned if they do and damned if they don't. And this President understands that and just keeps moving forward. I will make one complaint about the administration though--they need a new press secretary...I loved watching Ari fencing with the reporters...it was pure art.

I would feel better if he made the case of how much better the private organizations did then any of the Govt enities. Just feeding into the Bush Bashing rasies questions in my mind about Newt's qualifications for the job.
