Bush: a Closeted Liberal

How else can you explain his Presidency? He's advocating a bailout of the Big 3. He's advocated bailouts for every industry that comes to Washington hat in hand. He "liberates" two countries from fascist regimes (one could argue one or both of the wars were foolish - but they very much seem like liberal internationalist projects to me). And on what substantive conservative issue has he made progress on throughout a two term presidency? Fine...he appointed a few conservatives to the Supreme Court. Big deal. Roberts was a heavyweight everyone was behind and Alito was a true conservative choice. The man is a closet liberal. A foolish one.
