I'm sure that some large company makes that equipment has contributed money to Bush.  Now Bush is trying to encourage law enforcement departments across the country to use this equipment.  Isn’t that the way it always is with Bush?

Based on the previous four years, this is more lip service from Bush.  Let's wait until he actually funds some of these programs before giving him any credit.

MAY HAVE, so kind of u to give him the benefit of the doubt.  He did send innocent people to death.

Maybe. What's the going rate for a sleeping capital lawyer in Texas these days?

A cynic might conclude the government plans to execute more people and expand the population eligible for mandatory DNA  collection.

Maybe I'm wrong but Bush Jr. never struck me as strong proponet for the rights of the accused.

Funny, you guys are going thru the same thing that I did with Clinton.  After Clinton was re-elected, even though I grudgingly voted for him, I basically interpreted everything he did to be pandering to vested interests instead of perhaps doing what 2nd term President often do - what they think is right. It wasn't until several years later that I started feeling better about my vote - because he delivered the goods in some ways (and I didn't really care about the scandals as long as the Dems didn't hold the Reps to any higher standard - e.g., Clinton and Bush both were draft dodgers and so were alot of Ivy League kids back then).

I'm not saying I can guarantee Bush will deliver on all these things, but he starts off doing only what he can - expressing a policy that you all support.  And what does he get but claims he's up to no good or bullshitting.  

Jeez, you have to live with him as your President.  Give the guy a break.

Shrub has sent a lot more innocent people to their deaths since he stole the presidency

It's called IRAQnam.
