Mollohan, though, said President George W. Bush "is not a bad fellow."

"But he definitely has a tin ear," Mollohan explained. "He is not listening to those who live on minimum wage. He opposes changing it. . . .The economy may be booming on Wall Street, but not on Main Street America. He is not listening to the people who don't have health care.
