To be fair, Bush did not want these people to be goobermint employees. That was the price 'rats extracted for approving the Homeland Security bill. The screeners before 9/11 were doing just fine and needed no replacement. But they weren't union y'see.
A small point, but if this guy is misleading on small points who knows what error he introduces on larger points.
“That was the price ‘rats extracted for approving the Homeland Security bill.”
That, in a nutshell, is the crux of the Bush legacy. Lack of leadership in any meaningful way. His method was to patronize the democrats rather than confront them. Sending the military out was easy (and necessary), but here at home he did nothing but patronize liberals. Liberals, like muslims, respect those who patronize them even less than those who actually fight them. Bush was worthless.
***Think for a moment about the thousands of Transportation Security Administration screeners — newly minted government employees all***

You’re absolutely right about both points.
