I am a bit confused re: * signing education bill

I just saw on the news that * signed the educational aid package into law. This is something that Pelosi emailed me about at one time. It seemed like a decent band-aid to the ailing system (incremental, but positive) and so I said to myself "good for you, Pelosi!" and then though that surely Bush would not sign it.

But he did.

Now I know that my paranoia of the Bush administration is a bit on the hypervigilant side, but I cannot see why this cretin of a man would sign this legislation. It is proported that the bill primarily benefits poor and middle-class Americans, so what gives?

Is the package fraught with benefits for his brother's Excite! Program? It is for higher education, so I don't think so.

I'm confused.

Does anyone know off of the top of their heads why Dinglehoff-the-Horseless would sign this legislation? I simply refuse to believe that it is "to help poor and middle class families get an education". Whistleass doesn't think like that.

just sign here x_____________

But I don't think that * would sign anything unless his neanderthal advisors tell him to. I just don't see the benefit for him or his party in signing this piece into law.

There has too be some concession on some other issue the
Dems support. A little back room bartering - "I'll sign this
if you support that."
Just my opinion. :shrug:

kid's healthcare bill was passed unanimously in House and Senate. * now claims his longtime priority has been to increase aid for poor students. :eyes:

Bush at one point threatened to veto the bill on grounds that it included hidden costs and was an expensive expansion of federal programs. Yet he went along, despite what his administration calls budget "gimmicks" in the legislation, mainly because of the increased aid for poor students, one of his longtime priorities.

If narcissism is what motivates him, that is at least believable.

Here's the sfgate story on it:

We know he didn't read it--but he still must have amnipulated it somehow. :shrug:

that's what i think. It was by partisan, so bu$h signed it so the repugs could go back home and see what i did for your kids. Just politics for Bu$h, IMHO!

of the have-more's versus us plebes. I guess politics trumps money....and money trumps peace.
