The Man who is President

Regardless of your politics a logical mind must give President Bush support. He is managing wars in at least four countries that are active. He must also fill two Supreme Court vacancies. Rebuild at least 10% of this country. Restructure the social insecurity program so people who live in today can make it through the years of physical and mental decline. Hopefully change the tax system to one that stands a chance of supporting this country in the long term without economically raping one category of citizens. Add the day-to-day business of managing the world’s most prolific economy and Pollyanna populace. We will make an effort to work lightly through all of these but to truly do them justice would take more time than this writer has left on the earth. In the end the logical mind must conclude this president has to much on his table to not receive support whether you like him or not. Lack of support or active energy against him can only be detrimental to your own future while effecting generations to come.

At least four wars are being fought; Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia and terrorism. Though there are not daily reports about Afghanistan the war is still a daily war. Troops are engaged daily in battles searching for leaders of the resistance and the bin guy if we are to believe he is still misusing air by breathing it. Iraq we hear about daily in the midst of all the other events this President must manage. Here the accounts show to little participation from the citizens of Iraq, but their only example may be our own accounts of our neighborhoods waiting for the government to fix their problems. Some neighborhoods we see seem to protect the hoods that abuse them and enslave their children in a sub cultural underworld. If we don’t set the example for law and order how can anyone follow? Bosnia is still a civil war where we not only must be involved, we must do it the United Nations way, which seems to be managing and maintaining. Our Un involvement seems to have us in more countries than we are not in managing unrest while taking control of economies to expand the empire. The war on terrorism is without geographical boundary. The foe could be anyone in any crowd. Unlike the media portrayal it is not all Islamic by any means. Within this country are many terrorists who seek to control this planet or proliferate their cause by taking over this government or disrupting our lives. This is the true energy behind the Patriot Act and the reason Grandma gets searched at the airport. There are also those groups that use violence to protest injustice to the focus of their origin. Add gangs and organized crime to the soup and my eyes find no time to sleep for the man who leads this country. Four wars seem to cut short the total of the wars being fought if you define war as a state of hostility. Media accounts are not reliable in the land we recognize as our own home so how would trust news of placing we have never seen? So we remain largely ignorant as to the real accomplishment or lack of the same anywhere we do not visit with our own eyes. The President must have this soup for breakfast then move to the fore to deal with the day.

President Bush must fill two Supreme Court vacancies and anoint the Chief with media and populist scythes prejudging then ridiculing his every move. His conservative counterparts have not hit close to 500 in shaping the court to their predilection in the past. Truth as history teaches us is that when a person is elevated their conclusions modify to accommodate the stature of the level of their judicial piety. Most correctly stated when yours is the last hope for an issue your earlier verdicts may have no posture on the matter currently before you. You are one of nine members assembling a pronouncement that will likely out live you. So as we have seen the most die-hard conservative may go in opposition to the logical conclusion their past would give in order to protect the future for those yet to experience the tree of life. This selection is no small encumbrance for the President, as history will use his conclusions to define him. Being young he will also have time to rejoice or mourn the choice. Add what has become his daily pressure and I find myself asking how is he to function logically or can logic even find room between the struggles?

The catastrophe of Katrina has ravaged almost the entirety of the state we call Mississippi, at least half of Louisiana, a good portion of Alabama, the panhandle of Florida and touched many other states to a lesser degree as well. Some of Florida already damaged may finally obtain a little consideration due to its borderline situate. The horror has yet to peak, it is just resting to progress from a more diverse angle. We have seen the material destruction but the human side has only begun. Convincing survivors to leave all they know will not be an easy task with critics of misguided faith hawking the process. The disease that is fomenting may likely be a task for the CDC to identify and inoculate bordering states if everyone is not moved quickly and the culture tray once known, as New Orleans is not sterilized quickly. The material disaster has been historic already President Bush must make decisions to head off a historical plague. Like it not the man who is President must make hard and unpopular decisions for the good of the greater number and those who stand against him must be sat down quickly. Add to this the people who will take advantage of the nightmare for personal gain and we have more than anyone presidency has had to endure sense the Great Depression. Take into account that the depression was orchestra rated by man and this develops into a situation devoid of contrast. Recently the Democrats and the media made light of the President’s supposed vacation how totally unfair when reality proves he must be working in his sleep as well as his waking hours.

Restructuring Social Security brings to mind the last paragraph. If only a current or previous Governor or Mayor had the intestinal fortitude to demand the funds to fix a problem that is decades old this President would have less on his table. Now they call upon him to do his job and their own as well. Factual comparison shows both agendas have been in the political wasteland about the same length of time being beaten to death with words of disengagement. Social Security Reform is like the levies of New Orleans and the people who can least afford the disaster are the most likely to be hurt as is the case in New Orleans. The people who will be hurt are convinced the levy will hold for if it would not the government would act without debate. Self-reliance and ownership are foreign to them because they don’t remember the time when these were the traits of strength. So they selfishly look for the advantage for them with no consideration for future generations. The current plan is so good that some city governments, which seized an earlier chance, have opted completely out and no Representatives in W.D.C. are in the program. If it they don’t want it how can you dream of depending on it and why would you want to. Out of all the debates on Capital Hill this is the most senseless. Everyone in Washington has fleeced the current system since LBJ was president and perhaps before him. If we cannot make them pay back the pilferage we must demand they modify the system so it will not matter. In his spare time the President must find time to convince our Representatives to act in our interest for a future that no politician seems to have focus off.

Federal Income Tax Reform is the most certain way to put politicians on a diet and tame special interests who currently run our lives through political favor. The Fair Tax Book explains in great detail the advantages and how it will work. You not only would get your entire paycheck you would get compensated for the tax you pay on necessities. No more blind taxation you cannot see. The dead would rest in peace because this would eliminate them from the tax role forever. System bleeders who chose not to work need not worry this system even protects you from having to get off your laurels by keeping the government in bucks enough to feed and house you forever. The book is an absolute must read for any individual who wants to be independent and put those prying pests that represent everyone but the working person in their place. The President’s brightest economists know this is the way to fix the financial woes that enslave the common everyday people that keep things working. If the President succeeds in such broad reform a plethora of other governmental woes will fly out the window.

The challenges for the man George Walker Bush who is our President require we give him a break for with all the above he still has to maintain the daily functions of government that have proven to more than enough for many of his predecessors. Pollyanna complainers abound with criticism but have no solutions to the problems they propose. Whining, crying, blaming and ringing their hands can only engender a feeling of dismay and disillusion. When all their complaints are heard we are not one step closer to a solution. To his credit he is trying not to leave decade old problems for the next man down the line. Am I pro Bush? No I am not. Do I like his policies? No I do not. The reality is that although I recognize the need to change things and presently I do not have a better idea than most of his. This means that I must respect him because although nothing has been perfect, he is taking action on every front that holds the key to the next generation’s future except the environment and maybe his plate is a little full to deal with that right now. If we were to respect him and get behind the changes he has proposed the next president would have to deal with the environment because that would be all that was left if we all survive New Orleans.

“A mistake can be corrected, but you don’t even have the mistake to correct if all you do is talk or complain.”
