" not sure but seems as if lot of people think the President just went mush. Not sure what to make of things right now."

Through the years, I've found it prudent to like the admonition at railroad crossings, to "watch-look-listen," and never make snap judgments on anything.
The advantage of today's era is the instancy of cable news and the internet to fill in some of the blanks. We soon will be filled to overflowing with "opinions," and at some point will be able to form one of our own.

So far, what I can see is a woman who had to blaze a major trail in a man's world. That might seem a bit foreign to you these days (although I don't know your age, j mt), but Once Upon A Time the Glass Ceiling was a very solid brick wall.
So far, I can admire her intelligence and tenacity, and her ability to soothe the savage beasties called Men, and how she managed to gain their respect and acceptance..:))

Without a doubt, there is no human who can achieve universal approval, each of us having our own criteria for "perfection."

I'll sit back, park myself in neutral and sort through the many things that will be revealed about her - listen to the applause and all the slings and arrows, look for "facts," and eventually decide what I think of her... .

I think I am just going to trust that this President knows exactly what he is doing. The DUmmies and Has-Been Media have been misunderestimating him for 7 1/2 years now, and it won't stop now. He reads people better than anyone I know and will have made a sound decision in the end!

One More Thing - - look at President Bush's choices in the past - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, John Roberts, etc.!!
Most of us would agree they were good ones.

What if it were you on the Hot Seat having to make these kinds of decisions; and in this case, someone who can BE confirmed by a tough Senate?!!

I am comforted knowing GWB and Laura are persons of strong faith, always looking to God for guidance and strength and wisdom.

Good advise, which I intend to follow to the best of my ability.

RAGGED OLD FLAG
By John R. Cash, © 1974 House of Cash, Inc.

I walked through a county courthouse square,
On a park bench an old man was sitting there.
I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."
I said, "Your old flagpole has leaned a little bit,
And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it."

He said, "Have a seat," and I sat down.
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,
But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag.

"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when
Washington took it across the Delaware.
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing Say Can You See.
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seems.

"And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag.

"On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun.
She turned blood red in World War II.
She hung limp and low by the time it was through. She was in Korea and Vietnam.
She was sent where she was by her Uncle Sam.

"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land here she's been abused --
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused.

"And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land.
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in.
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more.

"So we raise her up every morning, take her down every night.
We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right.
On second thought, I do like to brag,
'Cause I'm mighty proud of the
Ragged Old Flag."

I was a little disappointed today with the President Bush's choice of Harriet Miers, I was hoping for Janice Brown. Last week I was researching, trying to find out as much as I could about Harriet Miers, came up with very little info.

Will wait and see and hope for the best :-)
