Bush sorry economic crisis has cut jobs, 401 (k)s

President George W. Bush expressed remorse that the global financial crisis has cost jobs and harmed retirement accounts and said he'll back more government intervention if needed to ease the recession.

"I'm sorry it's happening, of course," Bush said in a wide-ranging interview with ABC's "World News," which was airing Monday. "Obviously I don't like the idea of people losing jobs, or being worried about their 401(k)s. On the other hand, the American people got to know that we will safeguard the system. I mean, we're in. And if we need to be in more, we will."

Bush also admits that he was unprepared for Iraq war. What a President.

Fiddle, burn, fiddle, burn.

Is it just me, or is the idea of Bush being 'in' more than a little disturbing?

The man who looked at an audience of plutocrats and said, with no trace of self-consciousness, "you are my base, the haves and the have-mores", does not convince with expressions of sympathy for those he spent his entire Presidency screwing.

Not even Olmert was this disgustingly cheap with his sudden conversion to feigned humanity in his last days.
