From the Washington Note
I'm going to share one pool report here written by Gannett News' Greg Wright.
Just for fun, juxtapose what Greg Wright reports here:
Berlusconi praised Bush, saying he is "direct," "straightforward," "full of truth," and says yes when he means yes and no when he means no. These qualities were likely a major factor in Bush's reelection, Berlusconi said through an interpreter.
with this statement by Bush in the same meeting:
"The policy of my government is a strong dollar policy," Bush said. "We believe that the market should make the decisions about the relationship between the dollar and the euro."
Does anyone out there think America is pursuing a strong dollar policy?
It seems to me that America has a weak dollar policy that screws Europe, helps some U.S. exporters, but has China with an equally weak currency able to keep American consumers happy with cheap products -- and has Japan scrambling for currency balance.
If Bush is telling the truth -- then why aren't any journalists or commentators challenging him on the fact that his so-called strong dollar policy is failing? Who is getting fired because we have a weak dollar and the president is not getting what he wants?
Up is down, black is white, lies are truth.
