He put through proposals? WHEN? While he was at the gym this morning? While John McCain was in marathon meetings with his congressional colleagues, both dems and reps?
He's looking really harsh, too. Truly like a deer caught in the headlights.
Heh.

Charles - "No matter what else you say about the financial crisis, it's not doing wonders for the W legacy."
Amen. Think what a better country we'd be today if GWB had asked Americans on 9/12/01 to give up a few of our comforts and bunker down for a long, long fight against our Islamic enemies. Instead, he told us to go shopping. We became even more of a consumer-based, non-saving culture than ever before.
Will GWB pay off my Visa, Discover cards and my other loans?
Since Iraq is looking better, the economy just may be that albatross around his presidency.

McCain hits back with O's vote on the faux energy bill. Which O doesn't want to talk about.
