7/25: Bush and the pope (thx ndetroit)

I didn't vote for Bush, but honestly, he's already exceeded my expectations. Before I explain, let my make two points.

First, the americans here know from their civics classes that the president doesn't actually have much power. He leads with a megaphone, shouting commands, and hoping to sign bills when congressmen listen.

Second, the work the president does has very little effect on the everyday american, it's state and local officials that fix my roads, run my schools, etc.

So I was saying that Bush has exceeded my expectations. The reason comes down to one thing. I believe we pay WAY to much in taxes around here for what we get, Bush promised a tax cut and I was skeptical. But not only did he come through with a tax cut, he gave me an unexpected token refund of $300.
