I don't spend as much time here as you do, most likely, but I don't agree with you on this. This president has been EXTREMELY disappointing to many of us who two years ago would have walked through a wall for him. I posted this article because I found it totally accurate, especially that last paragraph in the excerpt above. This presidency exists because conservatives were convinced twice that this president would hold the line on spending and keep the country safe. Rove and company really did think they had a floor of about 35-40% hard core Republican support below which they could not fall. Yet even the Washington Post feels it safe to trumpet the fact that spending has set a RECORD for increases in the last five years. And the country may be safer from terrorists from Afghanistan and Iraq than it was five years ago, which is great and important; but meanwhile we're being invaded from the south and this president is doing nothing but urging us to sit back and take it.

I think if you quit reading the WP and especially Jim VandeHei, and do some research, you will see that GWB has done far more to address the immigration problem than any other President in the past 40 years. Maybe he should take a page out of Reagan's book and just sign an Executive Order and grant a blanket amnesty, instead he has been trying to get the Congress to address the problem. The apprehension rate is up over 50% on the border, something like 6 million border crossers have been apprehended in the past few years, the stats are on the White House Website if you would like to rrad them, or you can take JIm VandeHei's word for it

The country may be safer?

this president is doing nothing?
