President Bush claims that he’s concerned about spending.

Yeah, right.

The freepers aren’t impressed, either:

Gawd, that’s almost like Jeffrey Dahlmer pushing for a vegetarian diet.

…Bush control spending? Start with that prescription drug extravaganza?

…The biggest government spender since LBJ ask for spending limits? LOL

I’d like to think he’s serious, but if so, it’s too bad that it took a Democrat congress for him to get religion.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out if he is. If he vetoes appropriations bills, as Bill Clinton did in 1994 (when he didn’t get enough spending from a Republican congress), who will get the blame in the media for “shutting down the government”? I think we know. As it was then, it will be the political party that starts with an “R.”
