Was he really so lacking in curiosity that he just took their "trickle-down" promises at face value?</I><BR/><BR/>I'll go with that one. Bush seems to be a shrewd tactical thinker when it comes to politics and personal relationships. Like a popular cheerleader, he knows how to play the game of cliques and friendships. He calculates that this or that policy will reward his mates with chances to make profits, and they will favour his party with campaign bribes.

He and his friends will be rich, and later they will be dead, and history will sort it out.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
