"At this moment, America's greatest economic need is higher ethical standards, enforced by strict laws and upheld by responsible business leaders," Bush said in a speech delivered to the Association for a Better New York. "In the end, there is no capitalism without conscience, no wealth without character."

what an odd thing for bush to say. of course he had to say it but such a comment is sure to be used as a rallying cry for anti-globalisation protestors around the world, albeit used out of context.

Re: Re: 'no capitalism without conscience'

and each time he says it...It doesn't make me believe that he means it anymore.


lets not forget this is a man who rode on the enron corporate jet during his campaign


Those words are wonderful...too bad politicians seem to be much more inept at crafting equally skillful action.

We may clean up accounting...it's too bad that we'll still overlook some of the far worse exploitations that big buissiness does.

Arun-
Your viseral dislike for GW is duly noted;)

The same disdain that you have for Bush is the same that the opposing party had for Clinton-this is/was sad for both Presidents.:(
Unwarranted hate.

why is it 'sad'? they're the opposing party. they aren't supposed to celebrate him.

Sadly, For a Conservative in Office, The Liberals have a lot to celebrate.. And His speech today, parts of it, is one of those things.. Too bad their Hatred for conservatives and Partisanship will cloud their minds from this Great opportunity.
