Bush seldom suffered personally from doing what's unpopular politically. In fact, you could argue that he has made a career of it, holding fast to positions that many voters reject, as a sign of strength in these dangerous times. So his willingness to exercise his first-ever veto this week on a bill that would expand federal funding for human embryonic-stem-cell research, which 2 out of 3 voters favor, is not just a way to stroke his political base. "People like leadership much better than a finger in the wind," says White House press secretary Tony Snow. As Bush explained to him while in St. Petersburg, Russia, for the G-8 summit last week, "I took a position. I believe in it. So that's what I'm going to do."Mon, 17 Jul 2006 21:01:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/05/17/pf/saving/willis_tips/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/05/17/pf/saving/willis_tips/index.htmNew England is still wringing out after the area's worst flooding in 70 years.
