"In politics perception is everything and the perception has been that nothing is getting done"...great point.
IMO, part of what we have here is we have been bushwhacked by an absolute failure to communicate either to counter negative perceptions/mistruthes or to enforce positive ideas and positions...I am starting to wonder if this has been due to ineptness or for an uber-agenda...maybe my disdain for GHBush fortifies a certain amount paranoia!
We must find a RReagan-like leader soon....anyone in mind?

It has been my observation over the years that more certain someone is of their course of action the less inclinded they are to explain it. It makes perfect sense to them and it never dawns on them that it might not be a clear-cut to someone else. George Bush knows what he wants to get done, knows how he intends to do it and has no doubt as to the outcome, so he figures time will prove him correct and any effort he spends trying to convince his detractors is time and effort that would be put to better use working on the problem.

I am pretty much convinced that leaders like Ronald Reagan come along only when God sends them to us. Look at the people who just happened to all turn up at the same time and place in history to found our great country! I am certain these people were hand-picked and sent by God in answer to their prayers for guidance and support.

Despite the Left's attempt to convince us otherwise the Founding Fathers were men of faith. They asked for, and expected, Divine intervention in their efforts to found America.
