Bush's slapdash Presidency draws to a close
| Quote: |
President Bush drew great applause during his State of the Union address last month when he called on Congress to allow U.S. troops to transfer their unused education benefits to family members. "Our military families serve our nation, they inspire our nation, and tonight our nation honors them," he said.
A week later, however, when Bush submitted his $3.1 trillion federal budget to Congress, he included no funding for such an initiative, which government analysts calculate could cost $1 billion to $2 billion annually.
Bush's proposal was added to the speech late in the process, administration officials said, after the president decided that he wanted to announce a program that would favor military families. That left little time to vet the idea, develop formal cost estimates or gauge how many people might take advantage of such a program. Some administration officials said the proposal surprised them, and they voiced concerns about how to fund it. |
Clinton, McCain, or Obama, this nation will see better leadership come January, 2009. |

Not so sure about McCain. He seems inclined to embrace the Bush Doctrine with both arms... like he once embraced Bush, an image I'm sure he'd rather erase.

In defense of McCain, Bush is a hugger.
But there are some policies of Bush which I find disturbing that McCain yet embraces. |
