Outstanding!

[jveritas]

President George W Bush: THE LEADER. I am very proud of our President. God bless him.

"When history looks back, I'd rather be judged as solving problems and being correct, rather than being popular," Bush said.

When this season's fickle storms of public opinion have faded into memory, and after the prevailing foul spirit has been defeated, you will be remembered among the greatest, President Bush of the great -- you and your cabinet.

[familyop]

...good man. Go, Mr. President, and take care of business in Iran!

[lone star annie]

Well GW you are right on many things, but your shamnesty bill needs to go.

/choppy grammar

[Fudd Fan]

AMEN!

How wonderful is it to have someone who thinks and acts like President Bush, rather than someone who won't decide what to have for breakfast before a poll is taken (8 years of THAT was quite enough).

God bless this president!

[adorno]

"The president that chases the opinion poll is the president that will have failed policy,"

That sounds like a back-handed slap at a former president, and poll-watching politican who went by the initials "Bill Clinton".

[COEXERJ145]

This alone shows why history will be favorable to President Bush.

Another reason is because I will be one of those writing it.

[Merry]

Clinton wanted to be popular and governed accordingly. He left a mess in North Korea and other places. George Bush is a great President.

"When this season's fickle storms of public opinion have faded into memory, and after the prevailing foul spirit has been defeated, you will be remembered among the greatest, President Bush of the great -- you and your cabinet"

Yup.
Who even remembers that FDR had some of the lowest poll ratings since poling begun, during the grim moments of WWII?
Today FDR is invoked all the time, especially by the RATS.
Governing by opinion polls isn't leading, it's instead, being led by drive-by media noise.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

There are times when this President brings a tear to my eyes.

[do the dhue]

Hear!!! Hear!!!

I would rather be wrong and strong then weak and right too.

[SandRat]

Ain't he a little tease???

[Republican Wildcat]

Sounds like he came across very well here.
