>Oh, BTW, CAFTA is a success? Let's take a look at it: > >1.) Minor trade bill.
it's a minor success >2.) Every modern president has passed a trade bill. add Bush to the list >3.) Mr. Clinton's NAFTA passed by 100+ votes in the house. And isn't it funny that the same Democrats who voted for NAFTA voted against CAFTA? The story here isn't Bush, it is the total collapse of the Democratic Party. They exist at the moment soley to oppose Bush, or so it seems most of the time. >4.) Mr. Bush's bill passed by 2 votes in the house. see #3 >5.) Mr. Bush worked his ass off to get it passed. and I thought he was a lazy rich kid- not! >The unbiased summary seems to be that that President pulled out all >the stops to pass a minor trade bill and barely squeeked by. That >doesn't bode well for the much bigger issues to come. > >But, you're right in that technically it's a victory. However I would >say it's like last year's superbowl winners barely beating the worst >team in the league in the second game of the season. Victory? Yes. >Reassuring?
