‘Wow’! Campaigning in N.H., Amy Klobuchar says G.W. Bush should have used political capital from 9/11 to… pass a carbon tax?

It certainly could find its way there:

And they just can’t do it.

After Pearl Harbor, FDR gave a speech about infamy when he instead could’ve passed new solar and wind initiatives.

Ummmm.@NicolleDWallace ? I like Ms Klobachar, but this irritates the hell out of me. "Going shopping" was a metaphor for returning to normal. https://t.co/qa3OPvfVOn

The whole point of Bush's speech was not to let the tragedy destroy our way of life, otherwise the terrorists would win

That translated to “go shopping” for some, apparently.
