Bush to Raise Funds For Bailout Opponent
In addition to putting John McCain off his game, the burgeoning financial crisis kept President Bush away from Republican fundraisers for the past couple of weeks. Although Bush's approval rate has dropped to a record low 22 percent, he can still generate money from his die-hard supporters.
Freed from the need to stay in Washington and lobby for bailout votes, Bush can now hit the fundraisers. And so he will, no matter how ironic they might be.
About 20 minutes after signing the bill, he was on his way to a fundraising swing that will take him to Missouri and Texas. His first stop: a St. Louis fundraiser for Rep. Kenny Hulshof, who is running for governor -- and voted against the legislation. Twice.
