Support the Troops!
Maybe the Bush administration figures if you've got a flag on your lapel and a ribbon on your SUV (that he doesn't know what it costs to put gas in), you're supporting those who served. As Kerstin noted in yesterday's post, it turns out that the veterans legislation JK and Sen. Snowe introduced and President Bush signed into law is not included in the SBA budget, and in case you missed the video, the Senator was none too happy about it. I can honestly say I felt no compassion for Administrator Preston after watching the whompin he took. If this administration is going to take credit for signing veterans' legislation, they'd damn well better fund it or I'm sure there will be more twitching and stuttering from the next Bush lackey they send to make excuses.
Speaking of people with nothing good to say, President Bush proved once again that he's completely out of touch with the American people. I suppose he doesn't run down to the Wawa with the secret service to fill up the guzzlers, but you'd think he'd at least know what we're paying for it. Senator Kerry sent him a little reminder, though. I doubt he'll get a thank you note in return.
There was a press conference with Joe Biden, where they discussed their recent trip to the Middle East, a hearing about Pakistan, a bit of sports, more sports, and lots of help for the people of Massachusetts.

Outstanding recap, Faith, of our outstanding guy's past week. He just seems to be gathering steam these days, and does not miss an opportunity to set the record straight about what this administration is doing to hurt this country, and the truth gap in Hillary's desperate attacks against Obama. Really, I don't think Sen. Obama could have a better on his team. Thank you for this compilation first thing on a Mon. a.m.!
