Domestic Drift

DOES ANYBODY care about domestic policy anymore?

President Bush doesn’t. He’s understandably caught up in the war on terrorism and coping with Middle East troubles, and domestic matters pale in importance. The president gives the impression he’ll take the course of least resistance on any domestic issue. If Congress passes it–passes anything–he’ll sign it, if only because that’s likely to upset the fewest people. Veto a bill? Heaven forbid, that might ruffle feathers.
