"Bush tells us one thing while he does another to convince us that he is everyman's best friend."

That's called Politics. They ALL do it. And remember, too, that while the President holds the highest office in the Nation, he doesn't wield ALL the power. The President may have a great idea, or even a bad idea, that gets shot down by the House & Senate; but ultimately, it's the President who gets the rap for everything. People said the same thing about Bill Clinton too.

I'm not defending anyone, just pointing out that what may seem like two-facedness sometimes may just be the system at work. Be glad it works, even though it doesn't always work to everyone's satisfaction.
