I disagree! He understands that it is becoming a way of life for people in this country after 40 years of liberal control. The people call the shots in this country and he understands that it would be political suicide to attempt to change peoples attitudes overnight.

Recognizing that we can't undo the mess of the Great Society overnight is one thing. Making the problem worse by adding yet another entitlement is quite another.
I'm all for incrementalism, but that means advancing toward the proper goal. Bush's prescription drug folly advances the goals of the Democrats, who want more programs, more spending, more dependence, and bigger government.

Remember the statement by a Democratic Presidential runner? "Take two tax cuts and call me in the morning"! Well, we have had 2 tax cuts, and at the same time our defense spending has increased. The POTUS gives speeches and (gasp) says "may God bless America" at the end of them. Also when is the last time that Democrats in the house and senate have been seen scrambling for an issue and a way to better the the conservative agenda?

If it IS incramentalism, I'm all for it for we HAVE advanced to a proper goal. More so than we have in a decade!
