Tornado Alley (PROG)

[SilverSurfer]

if you agree with this <> "We have asked many people about the turning point of the Bush presidency and startlingly they usually mention the very scenario that we ourselves have identified – the evening he shakily appeared on TV, not far into his second term, to announce (in New Orleans) that he was carving out US$200 billion from a non-existent federal cash surplus to send to Hurricane Katrina victims.

Of course no such amount of money was ever-forthcoming. The main result of that terrible speech was to kill Bush's presidency, however. People who had been waiting for the "real" George Bush to emerge from the political realist who had over-spent and over-regulated in his first term suddenly realized that Bush's compassionate conservatism was actually a coded phrase for "big-spending social conservative." In other words, Bush actually represented most of what America DIDN'T want – a moral and social busybody who was also a Leviathan-sized, statist spendthrift."
