He's pushing everyone's buttons these days. I feel bad for him. Everybody is piling on over immigration, Iraq, and investigations.
Do you have sympathy for Bush?
Any advice for him in dealing with this difficult time?
Yes I have sympathy for Bush. He may be wrong on a couple of issues, but on those that is right - he is DAMN right. This is one of them.
Bush is right on every major issue, except immigration. He gets insults and fury from the left anyway. What he said was right, and it should be considered an honor to be critisized and hated by the murderous Communists of China and elsewhere.
God Bless President Bush and the millions and millions of innoncent victims of Communism.
Touchy little pinkos, aren’t they?
I Love W.,but the immigration proposal is tough to accept as well as comprehend.A speech like today is why I do Love and Respect him, it takes massive courage,where would be today if gore would have stolen Florida in 2000?The real blame for our legitimate anguish,should be attributed to “moderates” who hold him back from pushing through an aggressive Conservative agenda!
GW is a man to be admired. We are lucky to have him during these dangerous times. He has his faults and does not handle everything properly, like immigration, but he is a great leader and deserves a lot better from conservatives and freeprs. I will remain loyal to him. He is my POTUS. I sure as hell will not abandon friends, my children, my wife or family members when they disappoint me, so I will not abandon my president when homicidal terrorists want to kill us all.
Yah, I feel bad for the guy. Advice, hold the line on Iraq, push for immigration reform that butresses law enforcement and boarder security first. Nobody hates Mexican’s, we just don’t want to become Mexico.
Quit. George Bush, the Republican’s Jimmy Carter.
watcha gonna do? lil red commie crying? huh? lil red commie don’t like word.. poor red commie
Isn't it amazing that Communist countries are so jealous of their national sovereignty when pro-Communist Lefties in the Free World are all about erasing borders?
Why couldn't we have gotten all those fiercely nationalistic, patriotic, militant, military Commies that the Third World got? But no. They got Ho Chi Minh and Kim Il Sung, and we got Pete Seeger! [/some sarcasm in this]
My advice? How about we cut off trade with Communist China and stop doing business with a country that still throws people in jail for being a Christian, threatens us with a military build up and which is the sole support for North Korea.
I do have some sympathy for him, but of course not on immigration. Mexico was one of the first countries to have a Marxist revolution and we were good buddies with the PRI dictatorship throughout its life (when it got reelected in election after election for 7 decades) and there were plenty of atrocities down there too.
I’d also like to see Bush (or any prominent Republican) point out the millions who died because of communism in Korea, China, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Cuba etc, etc and why our efforts to stop them were not bad and we should not view them as mistakes. Compare the standard of living in North and South Korea and challenge the world to say intervention did not help -and how much better they could all be if we had been more aggressive. Then, just as an “FYI” point out that the Democrats have always moaned the loudest about fighting these murderous communists.
Who would have thought cold blooded murders could be so sensitive?

Yes, I must confess that I feel very sorry for our President. For some reason our current liberals seem to hate him more than Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, and Joe McCarthy combined (though I have no idea why). Then you have the "palaeocons" who hate him for being a "Zionist neocon." And now he's attacking and alienating his own base over the immigration issue.
It is in part because of all this universal hostility that I cannot help but wonder why he has chosen to do the latter. In a situation where he has no other friends in the world, why does he choose to turn the only ones he has left against him? And when you consider that even if he gets what he wants he won't get any credit for it (the Democrats will malign him as a "nativist" and a "bigot" even though he's given up his last remaining supporters on this issue, and the Democrats will reap all the votes from the beneficiaries of this "reform"), you can't help but wonder what is his true motivation.
He's either the most noble person in the world and literally sacrificing his political life for a position he truly believes, or else someone somewhere is jerking his chain and must have something really spicy on him.
He's right on some things and wrong on many others, but I must say I wouldn't have the stamina to endure what he's gone through (and will continue to go through till his term is up).
China already started another cold war by building up to conquer her neighbors and telegraphing her desire to own more ocean routes. And our leaders have been helping China with that since 1968.
China has been trying hard to engage the world, be part of the world. It is not that Communism Country it once was anymore.
Bush is doing many anti-China things these days, to make his last days as president looking glorious and grand.
If Anti-China is the trend, he certainly knows how to follow...
It isn't. It's a disgusting totalitarian state. As we make it more wealthy, it will become more arrogant in its demands.
Already we have seen pets and even people poisoned by our delusion that this is a normal nation. Have we already forgotten Tiananmen? A country that will happily crush its own citizens and crow about it will just as happily poison our citizens.
