I have yet to see Bush come down on the side of the working man on any issue at all. That is my big gripe with him but I take it a step further and say that he has screwed a huge number of professional white collar folks who don't ordinarily fall under the "working man" category. Basically everybody who makes under $125K and is making money in a job of any kind is an enemy to Bush. If you ever watch Kudlow and Cramer it is a sight to behold, they are whining and crying about the stock market not really reflecting the optimism in the numbers like GDP. They neglect this supply and demand issue where the huge number of non working americans have no money to invest in stocks, many desk job people are worrying about their jobs and are seeing their wages erode. If white house economists are as dumb as Kudlow and Cramer, and can't see WHY this market has a cap on it, then we're really screwed.

I disagree. Bush aims to support the working man, but just not to the exclusion of everyone else. His medicare benefit wasn't for rich guys. It was for average folks. He is taking an awful lot of flak because of that. Working people do not create jobs. They work the jobs that we create. If we are being overregulated and overtaxed, we are going to retract and jobs/benefits are going to be lost. What Bush wants is to lessen regulatory burdens and tax pressure to effect real stimulated growth. It takes time to gather steam, but ultimately it will work. Thanks re: my boys. Don't know why we produce so many boys. :( Would have been nice to get a few more girls to add some balance. But hey, I'll take what I can get. :)
