They do say "Make it your way"

Perhaps taking Burger King’s “Make it Your Way” slogan a bit too literally, the latest Economic Report of the President suggested that maybe fast-food jobs be reclassified as manufacturing jobs. I guess when one can’t create new jobs in high profile industries, the new game is to reclassify other, less attractive jobs into that sector.

In response to this suggestion, Congressman John Dingall (MI) wrote a letter to Chairman of the Coucil of Economic Advisors Gregory Mankiw suggesting that Mayor McCheese be considered for the newly created Manufacturing Czar position.

Dingle is zinger! This article hilights what President Bush is truly good at - getting out of trouble by redefining the circumstances that got him into trouble. Guess it must have worked with Mom and Dad or he wouldn’t be so good at it today. But, if he thinks it is going to work on the people of this land, he’d best take another look at the polls. A politician who assumes the people will be gullible more than once is about to become unemployed.

You know, the Bush Administration would not have to redefine things to have their successes if they spent the time they use on this P.R. hogwash to actually do the right things in the first place.
