Agreed. President Bush has had challenges literally left and right for 6 and a half years. Too many people forget that. Thank God he doesn't blow and twist in the wind trying to please everyone all the time.

The sad thing about this is how polluted this country is with total and complete nincompoops. Thank goodness the president does not want to do what THEY want him to do.

Well GW you are right on many things, but your shamnesty bill needs to go. But I even have to give him begrudging respect for that. He is a Globalist and thinks we shouldn't have N or S borders. And his policy supports that.
It may p!ss me off, but at least he is principled. The prior inhabitant of the White House blew whichever way the trial balloons blew. And that led to Somalia. And Somalia led to 9/11.
If you get a man with guns to stand behind what he means, you have to at least admire his stance.
Even if it is wrong-headed as all get out.

"Bush: I'd rather be right than popular"
Mr. President, when it comes to free pills for granny, CFR, border control, increasing funding for the NEA, Harriet Miers, steel tariffs, billions wasted on AIDS in Africa and a whole other host of issues...you're neither.

"When history looks back, I'd rather be judged as solving problems and being correct, rather than being popular," Bush said.
Gotta love the guy, but we must also know that this is the talk of a 2nd term president. No way he could have said that going into re-election.
And that's not a bad thing. We want our politicians to be accountable to public opinion -- to a point.
Pinging Karl Rove.

I'm pretty sure President Bush DID say this before the last election. He has never been poll-driven or FICKLE.

All the topics that you mentioned above are meaningless from historical point of view.

I love the contrast between Clinton to Bush. Bush shows he is dedicated to doing the right thing no matter what the stupid polls say. Clinton was a gutless tool who always jumped when the polls said jump. Ultimately, history will honor Bush and humiliate Clinton, and rightly so.

The good thing is the President doesn't give a d*mn when it comes to the opinions of the unappeasables such as yourself.

The whole interview was impressive. GWB was poised, articulate, and passionate.
I love this president.

but your shamnesty bill needs to go. Granted, but, if he believes he is right, then no amount of "unpopularity" will change his position.
