Bush's Rescuers

Democratic leaders in Congress are riding to the rescue of an unlikely beneficiary: the reputation of George W. Bush. They seem determined to exacerbate problems that he has created or long ignored.
They would deepen a budget deficit that, on Bush's watch, has lurched out of control. They undermine U.S. leadership in global trade negotiations. They champion politically rewarding but economically damaging agricultural subsidies during a world food crisis. On energy, the congressional Democrats seem intent on battling Bush to a draw on who can accomplish the least.
Okay. So Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and colleagues have seized their chance to out-pander the Republicans and are doing well in performing that uphill task. This is not exactly grounds for shock and awe, I hear you muttering.
