It's The Economy, Bushie!

This section from an article on Bush and the economy amused me-

President Bush worked to reassure Americans on Monday about the economy but said "there's definitely some storm clouds and concern" because of the nation's credit crunch and mortgage problems...

...The audience of roughly 80 people listened to Bush with respectful silence. Yet a line that normally gets him applause — "I'll veto any tax increase" — drew no reaction at all.

Funny that an unwillingness to change course in the face of obvious trouble would not be met with enthusiastic applause. Poor Bushie. Life outside the bubble is so unpleasant.
