HJ, the thing to remember here is that the Dems promised to be different if elected to power in 1006. Remember the election was about how Republicans spent money irresponsibly. By pointing out that the Dems are just as bad if not worse, the President is forcing the media to report on how much pork they were ready to foist on the public. As the Wall Street Journal says, "But... but I thought the Dems were going to be different!" The media won't report it so the President is forcing them to say it!
1006=2006. Sheesh!
Great viewpoint. I agree. Bush knows what he's doing.
And although he may not be perfect in every decision, it seems lots of folks misunderestimate him.
