THIS President had it all thrown at him, and it is my opinion (history will bear this out as well, I am sure) that he did as well and better than many ... I mean that. He is a giant and has, in all of it, retained his professional commitment and personal humility. Neat trick. If you don't think so, just look who was in the WH previously and tell me THAT bore any resemblance to commitment or humility.

The president has me guessing and that's not good. His leadership skills in so many critical areas of concern for this country go begging. We have protected the hell out of the rights of Iraqis and shed blood for the defense of their country. When it comes to our defense from invasions from the south he's asleep at the wheel. For six years he's taken the invaders side using the invaders arguments for invading. When we have the greatest human disaster that this country has experienced, totally destroying a major city in the USA, he's got to stay at the ranch for a last round of horse shoes. WE'VE got to shake up this man and make him lead, and in the right direction, pray God.

Very well said. I completely agree. I thank God every day that we have this great man as our President.

So true. The presidency is a heavy burden in the best of times, and these aren't the best.
I pray often for this good man and his family.
A president has to sacrifice much of his personal priorities, and even after he leaves office, life is never the same, will never be as private, as simple.
Leadership is indeed hard service.

You got that right. He got us through 9/11 and he'll get us through this. God bless the President and give him continued strength to deal with this mess ..I already know he has the courage and faith to do so. They could use Rudy Guliani in NO.
