Bush On Capitalism

I understand Jesse Jackson is not too big on the 20th Amendment:

"All of that talk of bipartisanship begins now," Jackson said. "And the new president deserves his vision to be implemented immediately."

But I will close the last weeks of his administration with a few kind words and thoughts. Here’s Larry Kudlow, with a laudatory review of W's G-20 speech:

Here’s another uplifting passage from Mr. Bush: “Free-market capitalism is far more than an economic theory. It is the engine of social mobility — the highway to the American Dream. And it is what transformed America from a rugged frontier to the greatest economic power in history — a nation that gave the world the steamboat and the airplane, the computer and the CAT scan, the Internet and the iPod.”

Capping all this off, Bush said, “The triumph of free-market capitalism has been proven across time, geography, culture, and faith. And it would be a terrible mistake to allow a few months of crisis to undermine 60 years of success.”

I don't think that sentiment is shared by the 44th -- or, to be fair, his opponent.
