GrrrARrrghh! I really, really hate duplicity. And the funny thing is that this could totally be incompetence–it could be that Bush says these things and the people staffing and stocking the store do not even think about the products that they are buying for it. So many do not put the two together. But Bush should be setting an example, and that means keeping an eye out for this kind of thing. Yet again, saying one thing and doing another shows how sloppy and well, uncaring a president we have. Sigh.
