Both have lived the American dream in achieving their wealth but fear that opportunity is slipping away from those who aspire to do so now, thanks to the policies of President Bush's administration. Both view McConnell, the Senate minority leader, as one of Bush's chief enablers.
The Kentucky Standard - Fischer is Choice

He is a squeaky clean entrepreneur who helped transform a bankrupt family company into a global leader that sold for $72.9 million. He is supported by popular Democrats like Dave Armstrong, David Karem and Romano Mazzoli, and prominent Louisville families, including the Browns and Greenebaums.
