If Buhs had a track record of caring for hunger and disease I would think differently...but the simple facts are what He says and what He does are completely different.
Remember K3rry during the campaign? "this is the most say one thing and do another administration..."
They do a brilliant job of talking a moderate line, then walking in the other direction. Most people really don't pay attention, if the media reports it they are ridiculed as a liberal conspiracy.

Many allies are upset with the United States for refusing to approve the Kyoto climate treaty.
"They thought the treaty made sense," %$%$%$%$ said. "I didn't." He noted that the Senate had voted 95-0 against the treaty. Yet, %$%$%$%$ said there were other ways to deal with the problem of global warming and that he would talk with allies about new technologies to deal with the issue.

This is the same line He gave to the World 4 years ago. The Administration said they didn't agree with Kyoto and that they would provide a counter proposal we would agree to. It never happened, in fact they kept claiming we just needed to study the issue more...delay...delay...delay...now we're getting the same story all over
I'm not saying Kyoto is a great proposal, but we need to engage with the World and provide some leadership. Doing so would require admitting there may be a problem, and this is the problem.
Americans need to come to Jesus on the environment. We have an extremely good lifestyle, but it comes at a cost. The rise of other industrialized nations like China and India will only put more pressure on the system.
Some (like Rush Limbaugh) would like you to believe that anyone who's environmentaly friendly is anti-capitolisim. By Buhs's behavior I'd have to say the Administration shares this opinion.
Again, this isn't partisan Buhs bashing...it's a pragmatic look at our economy and what's really happened the past 4 years.
