We must be honest and see what is real versus what we would like it to be. I don't call that cynicism, I call it courage.
The trip to the border is mere politics, a sham. Remember when he flew down to New Orleans 6 times in two weeks? Were there any concrete results or was it "appeasement?"
GWB will not change one iota on the issue.
I was just pointing out how funny it is to see the President run to the border several times, like running to the toilet with a bad case of d_______, in a frantic effort to shore up support with photo ops. It is so keystone cop-ish, it isn't even funny. Who would believe such nonsense, since it had not occured in the first five years when he had a chance?
Its like a kid--to avoid a good whippin'--coming home early from school and immacuately cleaning up his room, mowing the lawn, and finishing all of his upcoming weekend chores...because later in the evening he has to show Mom and Dad a very bad report card.
