So now Bush is removing the steel tariffs.

I guess he must have gotten the results of a focus group ...

Since steel manufacturing states (kinda, sorta) win with the tariff, and steel fabricating states (who purchase the steel) lose—

Good news would be: Unka Karl hoped to win swing-state, steel-manufacturing Pennsylvania by putting the tariff on, but now he knows he's going to lose Pennsylvania, so he's writing it off, and hoping to win swing-state, steel-fabricating states instead.

The best news would be: Everybody gets pissed at Bush: the steel manufacturing swing states because Bush took the tariff off, and the steel fabricating swing states because Bush put the tariff on in the first place, and then for the transparently whorish manner in which he backtracked on it.

Or maybe the EU threatened to beat him silly, and Bush wussed out. I dunno...
