No kidding?
It sounds just like the United States. Power corrupts. Does he preach
about pollution, or even care?
President Bush obviously doesn't care, flying around on meaningless

to fly around and campaign for Republicans.
It looks like the whole world needs better politicians.
Now if only there were enough cyclists to influence an election.
