The People's Work

It is good to see George Bush has his presidential priorities straight. With Washingtion roiling over the DPW port deal he knew nothing about, Iraq swirling into civil war and Russian and China doing the work of diplomatic compromise with Iran, Bush headed off to the mid-west to take care of the real business, at taxpayer expense using Air Force One, of course:

the president flew here [Indiana] to raise over $600,000 for Rep. Chris Chocola, R-Ind. While not in serious jeopardy for re-election in this fall's congressional elections, Chocola is considered by analysts to be more vulnerable than two years ago. Later, Bush went to Cincinnati to help scoop up more Republican campaign cash, an expected $1 million or more on behalf of Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, who is in a toss-up re-election race with Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown.

It's all about priorities.
