As the petty carping from Senators Reid and Kerry indicates, President Bush’s speech from Jackson Square was a success. Again, he accepted responsibility for the torpid response of federal authorities. He showed empathy for the victims and recognition the poor had borne the brunt of the New Orleans disaster.
He came prepared with a credible agenda of action. And the biblical allusions fit well with Southern and religious folks, black and white. Not a great speech, but Gersen did the job, put the President out front and center as Big Boss in the rebuilding of New Orleans.
Also, New Orleans and Louisiana officials, Democrats though they may be, are unlikely to keep attacking a fellow who is going to decide how $65 billion is spend in their back yard. After mishandling the crisis, the president has been on top and out front for two weeks. While the memory of his stumbling and bumbling will be part of his legacy, the worst is behind him, the story now gets better with the recovery and rebuilding of New Orleans, a story Americans will like.
Media and Democrats who continue to snipe will soon appear to be what many are: inveterate Bush-baiters and Bush-bashers. Nevertheless, there is no denying that George W. Bush is now at the nadir of his presidency. The aura of 9/11 is gone. His approval is at 40%. Iraq appears an insoluble mess with the real potential for a strategic and economic disaster. Gas prices are biting. The immigration situation—and the president’s inexplicable refusal to protect the border—is killing him with his populist base.

It's better to be Bush at low tide than Buchanan at high tide, any day of the week.

You got that right
As Rush mentioned today .. Rasmussen has continued to show Bush at 48%. Of course, the MSM will not report that because it doesn't fit their get-Bush agenda.
Pat Buchanan is perfect at MSNBC, a biased network with low ratings and minimal influence.
Buchanan is not a conservative.
LOL MSM won't show it unless its 39 percent or below. Then they gleefully report it.
Pat who?
Nope, he's an idiot.
is there any one policy view buchanan has that you agree with?
"Bush at low tide"
It could just be that T. Kennedy and M. Moore got out of the ocean.
" Media and Democrats who continue to snipe will soon appear to be what many are: inveterate Bush-baiters and Bush-bashers."
"But those, like my friend E. J. Dionne, who wrote, “The Bush era is over,” are expressing hopes, not describing reality. Bush holds the most powerful office on earth -- and will for the next three years and four months. He draws up a federal budget of $2.4 trillion, can veto bills, appoint Supreme Court Justices, attend summits, negotiate treaties, go on national TV virtually at will, and pull out or send in troops to Iraq."
Pat is right again. Bush is still the most powerfull man in the world. Down but far from out.
Patty-Patty Buke-Buke. I wondered what became of him.
I used to like Pat. Before the insanity set in.
Pat forgot that it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.
This piece however is not AS bad as other recent pieces have been.
Do you smell what the Buchanan has been cooking?
Why I ever liked Pat Buchanan I don't know.
