"Protectionism?" That's George Bush's concern?

With the world economy turning to crap, it appears George Bush is going to carry anti-protectionism as his message into the G-20 economic summit.

Even more unbelievably, "the president's aides" are saying that they're not really going to do anything before Bush leaves office.
The president's aides pledge the summit will produce thorough discussions and concrete results but warn there will be no sudden fixes. The summit is just the first in a series intended to deal with the enormity of the economic meltdown, and the next meeting won't be until after Bush leaves office on Jan. 20......

Bush will also emphasize that reforms, while essential, won't work unless they are accompanied by open trade and competition.

Free trade. That's the issue to them. Unbelievable.

(Let's remember the rumor that Bush was trying to barter the Colombian free trade agreement to allow immediate support for the Auto companies. (Because a trade agreement with Colombia will turn our economy around.) Again, unbelievable.)

  • What the f....!?

    I'm going to look into being put into a medically induce coma until 1/20/2009. I can't take any more stupid coming out of the White House. It makes my head throb.

  • I'd liquidate the 401K if you're planning a coma. I don't think we can trust this guy for even two more months.
