For all practical purposes, Barack Obama is commanding media attention as if he were already president of the United States, which, alas, gives George W. Bush yet another dubious distinction, namely, of being the most lame-duck president in US history.
But with Congress refusing to bailout the auto industry, Bush now has one last opportunity to seem relevant and redeem his presidency. Because he can save this industry by ordering his secretary of the treasury to bailout Detroit’s big 3 with left-over funds from the $700 billion Congress appropriated recently to bailout the banking industry.
Now, if only Bush can do something dramatic to remind the media that HE is still the president – like flying off to say “adios suckers” to the disgruntled troops he sent to Iraq…?
