Old Bush Quote

[Crapshoot]

I was doing some research at work, and came across this. I was amused at the apparent differences. Today, Bush probably has some of the highest approval ratings in his party of any president in quite a while..

" Texas Gov. George W. Bush criticized congressional Republicans. First he said House Republicans shouldn't balance their budget on the backs of the poor. Then he said his party often neglects the disadvantaged by focusing on economic wealth. Democrats called Bush a wolf in sheep's clothing. Republican opponents accused Bush of running for president on the backs of congressmen. But Bush said his comments made a positive case for Republican compassion.
