A Wartime President

A Wartime President

Hugh Hewitt

President Bush invited ten talk hosts into the Oval Office for an hour of conversation today --Glenn Beck, Bill Bennett, Neal Boortz, Scott Hennon, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larson, Mark Levin, Michael Medved, Janet Parshall and me. This was an off-the-record conversation, and so I won't be quoting the president.

I will say on today's show that I am confident about the course of the war and about the momentum in Iraq, as well of the president's absolute commitment to doing right by the troops and his concern for every lost and wounded soldier and their families. President Bush's command of the details and his broad view of the conflict is reassuring, and among my comments to him was the wish that he found more opportunities to engage in long interviews that would allow the American public to see that grasp and that commitment.

...to engage in long interviews that would allow the American public to see that grasp and that commitment.

In which he might detail his hand-holding of the Saudi-wahhabist prince(s?) at Camp David, and his duplicitous support for pan-islamist land grabs in Israel.

And if he ever killed a rattlesnake at his Crawford, Texas ranch, was it be by the tail or the head?

Apparently there are others beside myself who feel that President Bush should improve his communication with the American people.

Me too, and you're welcome.

This should make you smile too, but for a different reason.

I just kind of wondering if any of the talk was about illegal aliens and the Amnesty Bill?

Rush Limbaugh won’t go anywhere he doesn’t want to go. He’s perfectly comfortable sequestered in his hole in South Florida and he doesn’t really gain anything from attending this.

Who does gain anything from attending this, other than basking in the glow of the president?

Is he going to tell them something he won’t tell anyone else?

After all Rush is the real ruler of America. Maybe they should all be making the pilgrimage to see Rush.

What Bush needs is a “Wartime Consigliari” for his domestic agenda.

You don’t believe it is an honor to be invited to the WH to meet the President, a man whose positions you generally support? In the case of the talkshow hosts, I would imagine that many of the presidents pet causes are ones that they believe in. It isn’t like the President invited Al Franken to visit last year, did he?
