It's Happening Here: Part III in, I hope, a short-lived series

Paul Krugman on the latest proposed Presidential Budget:

By my count, this year's budget contains 27 glossy photos of Mr. Bush. We see the president in front of a giant American flag, in front of the Washington Monument, comforting an elderly woman in a wheelchair, helping a small child with his reading assignment, building a trail through the wilderness and, of course, eating turkey with the troops in Iraq. Somehow the art director neglected to include a photo of the president swimming across the Yangtze River.

Exactly the same thing was said about Clinton

"What is most striking to a person who has been reading budgets for a long time is how far the cult of presidential personality has progressed."
