President Bush on the Rioting
It seems that President Bush is more interested in making “sound bites” and photo-ops than doing anything to really help Los Angeles. If all Bush can do is cast blame and point fingers, then he is part of the problem and not the solution. It is this “us vs. them” thinking that got us here in the first place.
Social welfare policies of the ‘60s and ‘70s may have been part of the cause, but the conservative policies of the ‘80s and ‘90s were also contributing factors.
As a leader Bush shows no more foresight or leadership skills than the liberals he is attempting to bash.
