Trying to outdo Putin?

Or as Bunnypants calls him, Pooty-Poot, who recently canned the acting government in order to replace them with the folks he wants for his next term (yet to be voted on).

President Bush is making an unprecedented request to use up to $1 million budgeted for a possible presidential transition to train top officials who would join his administration if he should win a second term.

Aside from the fact that education, jobs, veterans, and healthcare (among other domestic needs) are getting budget cuts, I don't see how they can possibly justify this, since Bunnypants fires those in any administrative position who don't simply champion whatever they're told to. Is that what they mean by "training"? Learning to parrot the party line and turn around on a dime?

Interesting that he seems to be saying he'll be tanking the ones he's got now.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
