Amen and Amen !!!! Wes Pruden does NOT speak for me or millions of Americans who do support the President.
We need LEADERSHIP!
Leadership is not to say that you will veto the opposition and the VERY NEXT day say that you did not know about the deal up to a few days ago. Leadership is not surprising your own party to the extent that so many good honest supporters start opposing you.
I support President as well as the most FReepers here. He is DOING many good things and is a strong Leader in WOT. But in this case he provided no leadership at all. Shutting up your supporters is not what Leaders do.
Regardless of the merits of this case, it was handled badly
So Bush knows nothing about this deal but he will veto congress if they try to stop it...Yup, Yup Yup, I can believe that...I'm pretty gullable...
And then he sends C. Rice over to Dubai to convince the a-rabs to hold on while he does some PR work...And I wonder what Condi traded off to get the a-rabs to go for this one...
Shutting up your supporters is not what Leaders do.
I see George as a lousy leader of America, however, he is doing a great job at being a global leader...
People seem to forget, or don't care that it was George's dad who gave us the New World Order...Clinton got the Democrats on board and little George has laid out the road map...
Our next prez will be a Democrat...A Democrat will be able to completely erase our borders...
