I am happy to see Edwards enter the race for the Presidency in 2008. The democrat is making people aware of the economic disparity in the United States and he is making this one of his key issues.
If you are a reader of conservative talking points and values, you will understand that poverty is highly frowned on by conservatives. Conservatives regard poverty as the "fault" of the individual. The conservative would have us believe that laziness and an undisciplined life are the roots of poverty.
Personally I rile at this. If George Bush were not the son of the American royalty do we truthfully think he could possibly rise to the Presidency? Please.
George Bush has spent a good part of his life being rewarded for failure. This is what unlimited wealth, connections, and power can do. Many of us would like to see what George W. Bush could do with 2 minimum wage jobs and a family of 4. Lazy and undisciplined indeed!

Bush reports 'good progress' on new Iraq plan
excerpt: "Success in Iraq is vital for our own security," Bush said.
"Security" appears to be one of the big selling and talking points of the new Iraq policy. Some people will call it the Iraq "surge" but I like to call it the "Bush push."
As I pointed out in my post from Thursday December 28, the American Enterprise Institute is putting out the neo-conservative backed policy called: Choosing Victory A plan for Success in Iraq
The word logo of the plan for success is "Victory through Security." So we can see that the talking point of "security" rings through in both Bush's words in the CNN article and the American Enterprise Institutes neo-conservative plan. All signs still point to Bush push.
