Say it, don't spray it
Unlike Theodore Roosevelt's "speak softly and carry a big stick", president Bush appears to be doing much the opposite. However, that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Later today, we are supposed to hear him say that he will not tolerate any price gouging from the oil companies. Now if he just says what everybody wants to hear without actually doing anything, then that is not such a bad political approach. He can please both sides and do little.
Perhaps instead future presidents should follow this motto:
"Speak strongly, act swiftly, and do little"
