Thread: Bush takes another step backwards

while I agree this is not the right direction, I can help but notice the bias in the report "lame duck" when he still gets pretty much everything he wants done.

"Lame Duck" is not a bias or even a negative comment. It is a specific term used to describe a president near the end of his second term. "Lame" means it typically becomes more and more difficult for him to make a difference in the White House because people are concentrating too much on the next election.

I suppose, but the way they use it just sounds like they are trying to make him sound worse than he is. Then again, I hate politics so I probably read in to most things too much. Just know I agree this was not a good decision
