I don't think the quotation was an "attack" on President Bush.
Whatever his intentions were, the outcome has not been good. The Secret Service defense of President Reagan was their finest hour, and I think we all agree that things have gone down hill from there.
Homeland Security has become a bureaucratic empire. Would things be better under Treasury? I don't know, but they certainly were for many years.
