Weakened Bush pleads for economic rescue
http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Weakened_Bush_pleads_for_economic_r_09302008.html

US President George W. Bush on Tuesday pursued his two-week blitz on behalf of an economic rescue package, a thus-far failed effort showing his lack of clout five weeks before voters pick his successor.

"He has no political capital. If the banks have no capital, then neither does George W. Bush. And I don't think there's a rescue plan for him," said Eric Davis, a political scientist at Middlebury College in Vermont.

Offering fresh warnings but no specific news ideas in public, Bush pleaded Tuesday with lawmakers opposed to the Wall Street bailout, particularly fellow Republicans, to accept that government inaction will only deepen the crisis.

His leadership has been rotten and filled with self interest mistakes....nothing for the peeps.

All we ever asked for was good leadership, watch for enemies, watch our Nation, keep us strong....but NOOOOOoooo. He went and dissed us...sneeringly fucked us over with cronies, and poor decisions.....counter productive and dismissive of our concerns....

and now he wants our support????

FUCK HIM....
