With Checkered History of Reassurance, Bush Reassures On The Economy

When the guy who told us "Mission Accomplished," and "the end of major combat," and FEMA's boss was doing "a heckuva job" now says the economy is going to be OK, I get worried.

Especially when he delivers this important talk at the Yak-A-Doo restaurant in a hotel in Fredericksburg, MD.

I was raised in Maryland, and I've been to Fredericksburg, and though I cannot claim to have eaten at the Yak-A-Doo, I'm afraid it won't lend much credibility to the story, let alone to Pres. Bush's image as The Prognosticator.
