InterventionMag -- President Bush Asks NOT What You Can Do For Your Country:: Arianna Huffington

As Bill Maher writes in his just released book "When You Ride Alone, You Ride with bin Laden": "We were asked to do very little and we responded. That's the bargain we tacitly make with our presidents: We won't ask too much of you, if you don't ask too much of us."

And true to form, in speech after speech, the president has been asking very little of us. At one stop he recommended we "be a Boy Scout leader or a Girl Scout leader." At another he suggested that Americans "put their arm around somebody who hurts and say 'I love you. What can I do to help you? How can I make your life better?'" Unfortunately, he failed to mention what to do when the answer to that question is: "Take you damn arm off of me and get me some affordable health insurance!"
