The fact that W is the most unpopular President since Herbert Hoover caught the blame for the great depression doesn’t seem to bother him. He is charging ahead against the tide of disapproval acting as he always has, as if he had a mandate. After eight years of tremendous tax breaks to the very wealthiest Americans, he is now overseeing the change from a free market to a Government subsidized market. It turns out that socialism is only bad when the money is spent on people.
And far from being a lame duck he is busy expanding the Bush Doctrine, chasing our enemy across the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan. The media however is too fixated on the Presidential race to even notice. Besides, changing American capitalism, and expanding our military powers are complicated stories that don’t play as well as a highly dramatic political contest.
