	Illinois roads win, farms lose in Bush budget \| U.S. Senator Barack Obama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Bush's proposal also would reduce from $360,000 the limit cap for individual farmers to $250,000 for all commodity payments, an idea the farm bureau has consistently opposed in past years.
		Bush also would have a new transaction fee on futures and options markets go to support the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which currently is supported by general taxes and has a proposed budget of $127 million.
		Bush had a similar proposal in 2002 that prompted all 21 members of the Illinois delegation to sign a letter to the administration in opposition.

	George H. W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bush has since commented that he did not particularly enjoy this string of jobs, saying he never wanted to be a "career bureaucrat." However, had Bush not received this succession of appointments after his Senate defeat in 1970, it is unlikely he would have risen to a level of national prominence in politics.
		Bush, often criticized for his lack of eloquence compared to Reagan, surprised many by giving possibly the best speech of his public career, widely known as the "Thousand points of light" speech[1] for his use of that phrase to describe his vision of American community.
		Bush's last controversial act in office was his pardon of six former government employees implicated in the Iran-Contra scandal on December 24, 1992, most prominently former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.

		SPRINGFIELD - It goes without saying that President George W. Bush is one of the most unpopular politicians in the solidly "blue" state of Illinois, with fully two-thirds of the populace against him and even many Republican Illinoisans disillusioned with the war in Iraq, according to a new poll.
		Bush fares better in the "red" state across the river, but still has problems.
		So unpopular is Bush in Illinois that Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, seeking a second term on Nov. 7, has at times chosen to run against the White House instead of his Illinois Republican opponent, Judy Baar Topinka.

	Kerry stays well ahead in Illinois \| Chicago Tribune
		Kerry's robust lead coupled with image problems and in-fighting suffered by the Illinois GOP have led both presidential campaigns to downplay efforts in the state and concentrate resources in places where the race is closer, including neighboring Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin.
		That could be difficult for Illinois Republicans this year, because Bush is viewed unfavorably by about half of Illinois voters and slightly more than half disapprove of the job he has done in the White House.
		Still, the poll found that 64 percent of Illinois voters said they believed the president and Vice President Dick Cheney were "not qualified" to question Kerry's war record, given that Bush served a controversial stint in the Texas National Guard during Vietnam and Vice President Dick Cheney obtained deferments to avoid military service.
