However, just my reading of his facial expressions and tone of voice yesterday when he stated his hands are tied, I did denote a kind of whiny, wobbling, shaking tone of voice, a kind of 'deer in the headlights' look, misplaced grimaces and darting eyes.
Look, this is when a man really finds it in himself to stand and deliver.
Some Governors (even on the wrong side of US history) stood without flinching. Wrong side governors strike me as Wallace, Maddox, Faubus, etc. Wrong but strong, grounded, principled and unflinching. Just as were Bobby Kennedy and Katzenbach.
But I did not get any of that from Governor Bush's darting eyes and somewhat shellshocked, "akirame" (as the Japanese would say), "It's out of my hands, what can I do?" kind of demeanor.
I feel for the guy, but this may well be his moment in history and moment as a man.
Did anyone else notice or sense what I noticed and sensed (as articulated in my #50 here) in seeing Gov. Bush late yesterday on the TV????
I see it that way, too, AmericanInTokyo. Including the "akirame" part. :^(
I think Jeb Bush is a GOOD man. Because he is a GOOD man, his failure to act NOW will torture his conscience for the rest of his life.
