I think maybe after 4 years of GWB, whom I really like but is NOT a leader, the people are so hungry for leadership. Thats why they are so willing to fall for Obamas rhetoric. He comes off as someone who says I am going to fix your life and make it perfect. He comes off as a leader. Unfortunatly like it always is, by the time they find out he is a liar, it may be too late. Lets just hope there is a country left for the good strong guys to come in and rescue.
He’s a Leo.
All Leos are supposedly “born leaders” and people naturally feel compelled to follow them.
I too, am a Leo.
[but you follow me at your own peril because I have *no* idea where the hell I’m going]....LOL!
I like President Bush too, except that he allowed Rice to push Israel to give up her land to terrorist. He did many great things but spiritually that was his downfall. He has done many unsung things that have made this country stronger and the world a better place. It is too bad that the media has done such a job at humiliating and demeaning him and his Presidency. Hopefully history will see it differently. The war is Iraq will if not botched by Obama (hopefully he won't have a chance) be a strategic victory for the United States and the world's peace.
As it is right now it is taboo to mention him and his Republican accomplishments because the press has made the Republicans feel that they had to far distance themselves from him. This, I think, was a mistake from the beginning.
As far as our Country having trouble we all know that the Democrats in Congress were responsible for our economic crisis. They took bribes and kickbacks repeatedly protecting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from being reigned in by Republicans including President Bush and Senator John McCain. For years the Democrats have kept our Country from being able to tap into and produce many sources of greatly needed energy supply. This is a major economic and security issue for our Country. It has vastly weakened us. When you think of all that President Bush has brought us through it is daunting. Many things threatened to be the downfall of our Country that were not in his control such as 9/11, many destructive hurricanes including Katrina (which he had to plead with the Democrats in control of Louisiana to finally take necessary action late and evacuate people), fires, floods, economic woes and a necessary war against suicidal maniacs.
The liberals are so utterly ridiculous concerning war. They treat war as though it is solved in a day or it is failed. Can you imagine if we fought WWI or II that way or for that matter the Revolutionary War or the Civil War? We would be Nazis right now as past citizens of the Queen and blacks would still be slaves. They act like if they were in charge it would have been done perfectly with no bloodshed in a day. They are so divorced from reality especially when it suits there advancement. Any body knows that major battles are lost in any war and strategy about how to cope with a diverse enemy is learned as you go. The American people have to be hypnotized in order to not have the common sense to understand the smallest thing about reality of war. What would our forefathers have thought of us. It is a shame to think of it.
I believe the Iraq war is strategic for the USA. It has allowed us to have a huge footprint in an area of the world of our sworn enemies. If we decide it is necessary to do battle with Iran and/or Afghanistan we have a base to operate out of. We should not of tried to conquer or clean up more than one terrorist country at a time. The war in Iraq brought the terrorist to the land of Iraq and has kept them out of ours. Iraq is destined to become a prosperous democracy. Other countries in the area are bound to follow. That is if things are not completely botched by the likes of an Obama.
