Voinovich warns President that he may be remembered as ‘George Herbert Hoover Bush.’»


In his closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans on Wednesday, Vice President Dick Cheney urged them to get behind the auto rescue package. “If we don’t do this, we will be known as the party of Herbert Hoover forever,” Cheney said. Ignoring the White House’s plea, Senate Republicans have declared their interest in union-busting rather than aiding the auto industry workforce. CongressDaily reports that Sen. George Voinovich, who supported the auto loans, is among those urging Bush to move quickly with an auto rescue that would entail shifting funds from the $700 billion bailout package for Wall Street.

Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, who supported the loan, said: “I wouldn’t wait at all because the longer you wait, the worse it gets. One thing I’d sure not want to have on my record is I’m known as George Herbert Hoover Bush.“

I'm using that. GHHB. :D

It's hard to beat Herbert Hoover in the race to the bottom, but somehow this idiot managed to do it.

Congrats W on a job well done!

Herbert Hoover was actually a pretty good guy.
He was a humanitarian who fed starving Europeans after WWI, and he was well loved.
He was smart, and although he screwed up when the shit hit the fan, he went on to redeem himself.

The bashing of Hoover got me reading up on him. He did eff up in responding to the market crash and developing depression, but other than that he wasn't so bad. he did many good things before and after being POTUS... not like chimpboy, who's f'd up everything he's ever touched (reverse-Midas Touch).

He did a lot of good things that GWB would never consider.

:shrug:

Bush couldn't even get a sewage treatment plant.
