I wonder about his state, too. Had he just thrown in the towel? Is he really that scared of a bunch of big-mouthed whiny Rats? My God, doesn't Tony Snow have his ear? When things seemed gloomy, I used to be comforted by the poker player in him, there was always some strategery involved. Even today with his speech on Iraq...Rush played a few clips and commented that he had no fight in him. I broke down and cried tonight; what the hell is going on? And what can we do?

I agree, it's very sad. I think he's just given up. He's been beat down too many times, but had he fought back from the beginning, they would have seen that he wasn't one to mess with-unfortunately, this hasn't been the case.

I used to have such confidence in Bush - not that I think he's God or anything - but I always knew he'd take care of things and come through. Remember how he took total command of the 2002 Cong. elections -- sure it was after 9/11, but he was such a leader. It's discouraging, all we can do is pray....
