President Bush's lack of confidence in government lets down the people who need its help.
"Two themes ran through President Bush's final State of the Union address Monday night, as he made the case for his continued relevance: Trust the American people, he said -- again and again -- and empower them to run their own lives. Trust the people with their money, and the economy will come around. Trust them to demand better schools, and schools will improve. Trust scientists to think big about global warming, and they will hit on solutions. All of that is fine, and yet for all of Bush's trust in the American people, he also made clear that he lacks essential confidence in their government -- his government."The article went on but at this point I had to respond ...
I beg to differ, it is NOT lack of confidence in government -- it is lack of any sort of BELIEF in government on the part of George Bush and other Conservatives who seem to think it's still the wild west and every man for himself -- women and children, especially, be damned!
