When your President is going out of his way to make his college basketball championship picks on ESPN in front of a national audience you can be sure it is for his approval rating. As those with common sense know by now, politicians don’t really care about people. If they did they wouldn’t have done…well, just about everything they have done since 1913.

- continuation of Bush military aggression despite calculated moves to seem otherwise
- His proposal for a civilian security force as big as the current military
