Please ... if you can put George Bush in the same category with Carter .. I see little room for dialogue.

I wasn't being literal .... but figurative in my scope. We have ONE president, ONE leader, one main voice of the United States .. the President of the United States.

What I see is congress' attempt to supercede and infringe on the powers and authority of the president in time of vicious war and a determined mission to destroy US, which I pray is NOT allowed to happen.

I was disagreeing constructively. I don't Bush has been a 'gracious' (read: loser) president. That would be Carter. Or maybe Ford.

Real presidents are made of sterner stuff. Bush is a real American president, whatever his other flaws might be. I'll bet Laura and his mom think he's a sweet man. And he probably is. But I don't think either of them would tell you he's gracious or diplomatic. Not his strong suit, thank goodness.

My other comments were mostly about Congress and the courts refusing to do their prescribed duties. But it is their duty and it's our job to make them do it.
