The LA Times reports that just as Bush was stepping off his plane in a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa last week, the first of three banks was robbed.

Ralston Credit Union was robbed at 10:45 a.m., just as Bush was getting off his plane....

The First National Bank was robbed at 11:23 a.m. Less than 30 minutes later, Southeast National Bank was robbed. The suspects in both those robberies were at large, Gano said.

The robbers were no doubt taking to heart Bush's promises to provide a climate of "opportunity" for the less-well-off. As for the method they chose, they were only following the lead taken by Bush and his buddies.
