"Is Bush selling out to business?"

Declan McCullagh
Chief Washington correspondent
Wired.com

"It depends. If and when President Bush gives in to demands for corporate welfare, handouts and special treatment, he's sold out to business, no question. That's picking winners and losers — and the winners will be the best-connected — instead of ensuring a level playing field. But when Bush argues for an across-the-board tax cut, that's treating everyone equally. In that case, I'd say he's closer to standing on principle."
