I suppose Bush should recuse himself from an arguement about baseball, or ranchers?

Does Pres. Bush still have an interest in Baseball - I mean a monetary interest? Now owning a ranch - doesn't make you a rancher so I don't see any comparison there.

Mr. Frist, and his family is/and will be making money based on the decisions made. If what we have read is true, they cut a few corners. Don't know why it seems if you steal a huge amount, you can just pay a fine - if you steal a little you get sent to jail.

Now all this blind trust seems to silly. He is still making money from that 'blind trust'. He didn't sell it - he still owns it. Whether it makes a difference or not - it looks bad - But that goes ditto for many of the politicians in Washington.

The point is that Bush is not a baseball owner or rancher anymore, he is the president. Frist is not a doctor now, he is a politician. With investments in a blind trust, he cannot "deal" in his investments, or handle the day to day affairs. When he is out of public office, he will again have access to these investments.

Now suppose while in office, he makes decisions that improve the value of his investments. Doesn't that mean he has improved the value of the economy for everyone? Don't know what you mean by cutting cornors and stealing, I believe Frist has exhibited a higher moral and ethincal behavior than any politician I know. Do you know a more honest one? It would seem to me that we should want a health care program that appeals to doctors. Can you imagine a health care program that doctors don't feel is beneficial to their profession? Do you know what doctors do when forced by health care programs to act against their interests? (I do, they opt out of these programs.)
