Seems old McBush lost his cool today.
Eh, He’s 71 years old, He’s got permission to be cranky. 
A will say this, the press can be such jerks at times. Especially the "Liberal" press towards the Republicans.
Hopefully, This will blow over and they won’t keep harping on it.

Bush Seeks Budget of $3.1 Trillion (Via NYT)
President Bush submitted a federal budget of $3.1 trillion on Monday, declaring that the spending plan would keep the United States safe and prosperous and, despite its record size, would adhere to his principle of letting Americans keep as much of their own money as possible.
Of course……:
Mr. Bush said he would cut or terminate 151 programs, saving $18 billion in 2009. One agency, the Education Department, accounts for 47 of the terminated programs and three of the programs to be cut. But he would increase spending in areas that fall under the umbrella of “national security.”
[…]
Mr. Bush said his budget would slow “the unsustainable growth of entitlement spending” with proposed savings of $208 billion over five years. This includes savings of $178 billion in Medicare, $17 billion in Medicaid and $6 billion in student aid programs. The president proposes to raise $2 billion from new enrollment fees and higher pharmacy co-payments for certain veterans receiving health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Unless I totally misread what was wrote, Bush wants slash benefits to the elderly, (read, the POOR elderly!) those who need the most help. Problem with that is, Mr. President, not everyone has those investments, that you rich folk have available to them, and Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare is all they have.
But, from what I have read, Congress will never pass his version of the Budget. So, I doubt he’ll get his way, Thankfully.
This is what happens when you elect a rich C.E.O. for a President.
We need change. Badly.

I find stories like this quite amusing. 
Times defends hiring conservative Kristol – Michael Calderone – Politico.com
The New York Times’ hiring of Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol to write for its op-ed page caused a frenzy in the liberal blogosphere Friday night, with threats of canceling subscriptions and claims that the Gray Lady had been hijacked by neo-cons.
What is about Liberals and intolerance for free speech? I mean, do liberals feel that threatened by this person? Amazing.
The Editor of NYT agrees:
Rosenthal told Politico shortly after the official announcement Saturday that he fails to understand “this weird fear of opposing views.”
“The idea that The New York Times is giving voice to a guy who is a serious, respected conservative intellectual — and somehow that’s a bad thing,” Rosenthal added. “How intolerant is that?”
I agree. While I might not agree with all of what Kristol says or believes, I think that trying to repress someone’s views is totally wrong. Kristol has a right to speak his mind, Just like Ann Coulter, Keith Olbermann and the rest of the political talkers out there.
This sort of goes along with that theory of both Political parties being intolerant of dissent. This happens on both sides, all the time.
