Although he is a republican, he has definitely been highly critical of spending and especially spending for the war in Iraq. Now Bush will make the final approval for nominations that will be submitted by congress. I wouldn't be surprised if his successor is much more conservative and less critical of spending for the war, among other things. It will be very interesting to see how this unfolds in the 15 years that follow. This is the story I would like to see in the media--if not Walker, who? Bush will now have his turn before leaving office, and how will that nomination affect the country? The media seems more focused on the coming election, but this is also one very important nomination that will have effects for a longer term than a presidency. It's an important nomination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840053.post-43624676766882134302008-02-18T17:42:00.000-05:002008-02-18T17:42:00.000-05:00I have seen an interview with Walker where he is t...I have seen an interview with Walker where he is touting Americans spiralling out-of-control debt and how most political figures will not adhere to the message of fiscal responsibility, but from my understanding this is being kept from the public for an underlying purpose. Though, in Mr. Walkers defense, he has taken his message to the public as of recent, and hopefully bends enough ears to understand there is a serious threat to our economy. But he is not the only Republican who understands or knows this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
