Bush knows nothing about anything. He's never done anything. As someone else here pointed out, his idea of an entry level position is sitting on a board of directors at $300,000 salary. He has lived in a world where money and positions have fallen on his lap because of trading the the family name Well at least RLK you have finally come out of the DNC closet on FR and used rhetoric that proves, IMO, that you work within the bowels of the DNC.
Name calling will not alter facts.
Although I don't agree with "Bush knows nothing about anything" I have to agree that his opportunities were handed to him on a silver platter. His families stature in society obviously helped him into Harvard and was I no way a financial strain on the Bush family.
Ultimately Bush had to prove himself well enough to become Governor of Texas and ultimately president of the US. He's done well in foreign policy (IMO) and poorly on domestic issues.
His handling of the economy will come under intense scrutiny leading up to the election. The tax cut was well timed and needed, but unemployment of the middle-class will keep spending to a minimum and deflate the power of the tax cut to stimulate growth.
I think it's great that Dub grew up in the lap of luxury. I wish my daughter could grow up in similar circumstances.
I do not fault the President for never being poor or middle class. I do, however, blame him for using my tax dollars to pander to the elderly, Hispanics and blacks while cheerleading the offshoring of the American middle class. He must be oblivious to the fact that the minority votes he got in 2000 are in the process of being put out of work.
President Bush is either completely oblivious or he is getting some really bad advice. He was elected by an engergized conservative based. Well guess what, his base is now lukewarm and cooling.
