day 76/reason 25: Mr President, you work for us...
Sidney Blumenthal highlights W's "neurotic control" in the campaign.
He quotes Walt Whitman who wrote "The President is there in the White House for you, it is not you who are here for him." This gets to the heart of the problem with this presidency. It is not about what is good for the American people but about what is good for George W and his gang, which is all about what is good for their friends at big corporations. I don't think this is cynicism... I think it's an accurate portrayal based on Bush's actions over the last few years.
