Where exactly would Bush "pocket" this money? All of his finances are disclosed. He has to claim the $5k bike somebody just gave him.

One thing a lot of people don't seem to realize about politicians is that when they get into politics they take a huge pay cut. If they worked in the private sector they would make a significant amount of more money, and they can anytime they get out. The Presidents salary of $400k? Thats nothing to a man that owns and has stake in many successful companies. They take office because they like power, and believe it or not, they do care about the country and have an idea of what's best for the country.

"Stealing" money here and there just wouldn't be worth it. Now doing favors for others? Yes, every politician returns favors to those that help him/her get into office. Thats how people work.
