Your reading comprehension skills, as evidenced by your finding of "bragging" in Bush's remarks, are exactly what I expect from a bitter little mouse. Bush earned political "capital" and said what he was going to spend it on. Big deal.... That's "bragging"? I don't think so. The fact that a cowardly and incompetent Congress (peppered with just enough scumbag "Main Street moderates") offered no help wasn't Bush's fault.

Keep digging.

"Keep digging."

I have no intention of continuing to dig. I simply said that he bragged about his political capital and, then, didn't deliver. You may not consider it a brag -- many others here do -- but, it doesn't matter much your view on that. That fact is that President Bush didn't deliver on any significant promise he made in 2004.

That reality doesn't mean that I would have preferred Kerry as President -- as a 2-time Vietnam veteran, I consider the man a traitor. But, Kerry's shortcomings don't in any way excuse Bush's lack of performance or his lack of conservative principles. Bush has just been the best of poor choices in the last two Presidential elections.
