For the President to backdown now, on a subject he repeats nearly everytime he speaks, would be far worse than the *Read my Lips* promise.
Bush has the Public Relations awareness of the Microsoft Nerd.
He and his GOP team have no talent or guts to stand up to Democrats or Liberal Media, or Islamofascists for that matter.
Reagan was a man who named his Commie enemy, declared it evil, and ridiculed the Democrats incessantly. He also played Liberal Media like a fiddle.
Bush has become a total farce, and his betrayal of Conservative principles lost the Congress.
