Now what did the Bush voters expect???

It appears to me that he has insulted the Brits, the French, and now the Germans. Not to mention pulling the rug out from under our friends in the Balkans.
To his credit, he is addressing health care, but there may be better ways to skin this particular cat. I'll pin this one on the Congress's ass.
I have no problem with repairing the infrastructure, but I do have concerns about the stimulus packages. I realize that deficit spending is considered the proper response for for a recession, but it appears that deficit spending keeps rising, and recessions keep coming closer together. Perhaps Ludwig von Mises has a point on deficit spending.
And when I look at Cap and Trade, with all it's sponsors from the banks, Wall Street, and the likes of GE...it doesn't look as though he has completely thrown off the corporate shackles.
And as a Bush voter (less of two evils IMHO), what did I expect. Pretty much what I'm seeing.
