Bush - Man of Truth and Integrity
Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill talks about
his former boss. Now, some may point out that O'Neill was asked to
resign (i.e., fired) so he undoubtedly has an axe to grind and could be
considered disgruntled. What I find interesting is that the administration
has not made any statements denying any of the allegations contained in
O'Neill's book. They have talked about it, but they deny nothing. I
particularly like the fact that O'Neill was told "deficits
don't matter" when dealing with the economy. That must have been an
amazing statement to make to the Treasury Secretary.
