The best that can be said about the president is that, in the corporate-sleaze crisis, he is becoming irrelevant. In truth, he is part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Things are so bad that the name of Herbert Hoover is suddenly being invoked as a Bush economic role model. Bush will sign whatever reform bill Congress sends to him, but he has not been influential in shaping it. He spends as much time promoting his increasingly outmoded agenda -- such as making his huge tax cuts permanent and curtailing government spending -- as he does addressing the real subject. That subject is how to restore public trust in what is now a corrupt business culture that rewards insiders such as the president but punishes ordinary people. Message 17762881
