Greg Valliere Bush Quotations

Bush is going to get a post-election free pass on virtually all economic issues for the next few months.

Bush said in the state of Washington, right before the Washington primary, that he had problems with the suit. He indicated he didn't necessarily favor a breakup. The next day he sort of retracted the comments, but he is on record as saying that he really opposes a breakup. So, I think the company would like to wait until after the election.

I think Bush would be a clear favorite.

I think Microsoft would like to wait until after the election, and maybe if George W. Bush wins, they could get treated better by a Bush Justice Department. I think they're delusional if they think that's going to get them out of their problem, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's in the backs of their minds.

My bottom line is that this not catastrophic for the Bush agenda,

The feeling is that Bush might call for a study, a commission, a blue ribbon panel on tax change, but that, if you start talking about radical tax reform, it becomes a big, fat target for criticism.
