I personally wish W had the swagger of Reagan and just forced his agenda on the libs, but without a strong GOP senate, he's on shaky ground.

Reagan had a completely Democrat House. Sigh.

Excuses O'Plenty.

The Republicans sold us all a product that has not lived up to it’s advertising.

Bush has not lead in the area of energy at all. He has given a little lip service but that is all. It is not as if this just suddenly popped up. Everyone has known for quite sometime that our dependence on hostile nations for anything is not wise yet He did and is doing nothing about it. He even kissed up to China last week.

Leaders lead. Bush has had his head firmly buried in Middle Eastern sand and this is the price of his neglect.
