Dial it down a notch ? I guess I'm just dense but I'm not getting your drift. Just exactly why and how far should this former navy pilot, businessman, congressman, Special Envoy to China, Ambassador to the UN, Vice President, President of the U.S. and father of the current Governor of Florida and of the current President, dial it down ? After a lifetime of service to this country why would anyone begrudge him or expect him to forego the active lifestyle that has invigorated him for these 80 years ?
After I read this thread, I checked my email to find the following forwarded to me by my almost 89 year old mother. She is just as interested in politics today as she was 60 years ago. She loves the Bush family.
I am just adding her letter to this thread in honor of those who age gracefully.

When I read this to Daddy he laughed! I don't care if they print this but I want THE SUN to know we are watching.
Love to All, Mom
Subject: gas prices
To the Editor, [Baltimore Sun]
In reference to the article concerning gasoline prices by David L. Greene on page 1 of THE SUN of 5/31/2004 I will quote, "Some Democrats,for example, have urged Bush to borrow oil from the nation's emergency reserves. Kerry has proposed reducing the supply going into the reserves. Bush has refused." Please remember how the Democrats work!
Bush41 did not want to raise taxes. He said,"No new taxes." Then 'the alligator' said, "If you just raise taxes we will also cut spending, ------ just hop on my back and I will carry you across". You know what happened to him. George W. Bush will never fall for that. Can't you just hear the Democrats, and the liberal press (THE SUN) accusing Bush of acting purely out of politics? Some of us have good memories.
