VIVA LA REVOLUCION BUSHO! There's an insurgent in town and like the protypical Texas Cowboy of the frontier, he refuses to fit in or be tamed by Washington. Great Fred Barnes piece. Enjoy!

But he's held fewer state dinners than any president in memory.

Past presidents have had way to many state dinners.

Everytime I read articles like this, I'm reminded of how pleased I am that there are grown ups in the White House again!

I am reminded of Andrew Jackson, who never fit in Washington but who dominated the place anyway.

"Mr. Bush's agenda is post-Reagan in its conservatism, which means it's more far-reaching and thus more threatening to the establishment. Mr. Bush would not only reform Social Security and allow individuals to invest a portion of their payroll taxes in financial markets, he would also revamp the entire federal tax code and fill the Supreme Court with judicial conservatives. And those are only his domestic plans. In foreign affairs, Mr. Bush would make aggressive efforts to spread democracy around the world the centerpiece. The foreign policy élite is aghast."

One of the reasons I so admire President Bush. Is that he takes the job of protecting and running the country so seriously.

As an adult should!

Not some Priapic Frat-Boy, Pillsbury Dum-Bass or overaged, supperattenuated Boy-Toy Gigolo.

I hope the President plans another Thanksgiving with the Troops.

Just to PO the perpetual party-people!

Jack.

Bush is the mirror image of FDR. FDR was hated by the Republicans when he came to power because he was viewed as a traiter to his class, which during that time meant that he was a traiter to the ways and mores of the Republican elite that had previously run the country for 30 years.

Fast forward 70 years and its the Democratic elite that has been running the country decades and now along comes Bush, who should be part of the Democratic elite given his Yale and Harvard background, but instead Bush is in the process of cementing the hold of the Republican barbarians on power for the next generation. And to top that, he disdains everything the Democratic elite holds dear. Whereas they are militantly secular, Bush has become a born again Christian. Whereas they believe they should be in charge of their fellow citizens, Bush belives the citzenry should be in charge of themselves (hence the ownership society). Whereas the Democratic elite believes that the multilateral institutions know best (because they are composed of the power elite from other countries), Bush is singularly suspicious of multilateral institutions and is unwilling to do anything that would limit the ability of Americans to protect their singular way of life. I could go on, but I think the point is made. Bush is viewed as a traiter by all of the 'well-bred', 'well-educated' people that inhabit the Northeast, along with a smattering of the left coast counties, which is why he is so hated. The liberals can mock knuckleheaded red-staters, but they reserve a special hatred for people like Bush who they view as having completely gone over to the 'dark' side.

On the other hand, Reagan was a great host during his time in Washington. I'm not sure what Bush gains by not using all the powers of his office including the power to wine and dine friends and critics alike. Kind of hard to bash your host too hard in your newspaper when you've just left the man's mansion with a bellyfull of his food and drink.

**In short, Mr. Bush hasn't tried to fit in.**

Gotta love Bush!

Bush is clearly the independent "progressive" thinker and DOER!

The establishment "progressives" are just posers.

My greatest disappointment if Bush lost the election was that I would have dreaded the return to the status quo that Kerry represented.

I think one of the most telling things about the press, and Democrats in general, is that they have such a problem with Bush's faith because they know it's genuine. They had no problem with Clinton strutting out of church with a Bible big enough to shade a small child under his arm, because they knew it was just fake stuff for the rubes. Dittos with Kerry suddenly popping up quoting Scripture all over the place. They knew both these guys were lying to get elected, and they have no problem with fake faith, but can't stand the genuine article.
