"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system"

A no surprise statement from George W. Bush: Mr. Bush's "compassionate conservatism" was never much of a small government ideology to begin with (no matter what Progressives will tell you); the massive bailouts and the feckless stimulus packages have sealed the Bush administration as a big government administration.

This is the reason that I'm not a President--having to make hard decisions on difficult problems, coming up with radical solutions to radical problems, and taking blame on the ills of the world.

Let's not too hard on the man. He's doing what he thinks best for our country and its citizens. He needs help in resolving our economy's woes, not scoldings and punishments from us. It's so easy to stand back and say whatever we want, but so different if we're in his shoes, perhaps.

Have a great day,
