Pat is right this time. I've been in disagreement with him especially with his isolationist stance concerning Iraq and the War on Terror. I think the President will stand true to form, he will nominate a conservative. I think the President needs to go further and stand up to "them" not just on this issue but with words. I recommend he begin this by firing his Press Secretary, he is horrible and whoever is behind the scenes that is advising the President on how to present himself should be sent to the showers also. There is no reason for the President not to take a leadership stance starting with putting the shameful democrats and goodtime Republicans in their place. Leadership is just not taking a beating its also knowing how to speak ones mind. We need a Jeremiah who know's how to speak his mind because I don't know about you but I'm sick of the word parsing and the obsequious approach to governance. The opposition is a horrid ugly mass of hateful cretins and its about time the President stood up to them and knocked them down a few pegs.
So...is it the same press secretary he has had for the last 5 years?
If so, what changed that he is bad now?
Was it Karen Hughes from Texas in the beginning first term?
Who recommended this person that has the job now? Karen?
