Why the talk about Bush? Who was tooting Bush's horn? Why would anyone even bring it up when 0 has made the same mistakes time ten plus a thousand more?
I do not disagree with some of the solutions proposed but you need to realize that 0 is, by Alinsky blueprint, a divider and not a uniter. Read the Alinsky rules for radicals and you will see the vast chasm between Bush and 0. This is not just a little more spending.
