Remember "No Child Left Behind"? No, I mean the primary educational initiative that Bush shouted around the country during his 2000 election campaign and then failed to fund when he was President -- completely screwing up a generation of school kids -- not the motto itself, which Bush stole without permission from the Children's Fund.
Well, he's doing it again. This time, he aim's to fix all those struggling high school students. Forgetting that it was him that screwed them up in the first place.
Cue close-up of Bush, saying "And this time, I'll fully fund it (big wink)". Move off-stage as Bush joins his chuckling corporate buddies for a laugh and a brewski.
As Bush says himself: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." This is standard Bush campaigning. Offer the programs as a sop to those people who -- if they care about the issues -- shouldn't vote for him, and then in office, pass it with the opposite party, and then yank its funding! What a used-car salesman.
