Not in character, not in morality, not in strength, not in resolve to fight the War on Terror.
Not at all.
Well, he sure has had me fooled all these years. Something about the guy has changed. Not on the war effort, in most cases, where I think he has changed a lot of his attitude about winning. But, he sure as hell sounds different on things than he did 4 or 5 years ago. Right now, basically, he is inept, in different, unable to govern. He has basically lost it in my opinion. And like A-holes, we all have one. You can love him if you desire. That is fine. But, I think Bush has hit the wall. He is done governing. He is just riding out his time. He will get little accomplished by Jan 20, 2009.
Just on his track record alone (leaks, voter fraud, illegal immigration) the AG should have been canned a long time ago. But keeping him around has led to the present situation where the timing of such a move has become politically dis-advantageous. The political short sightedness of President Bush's administration (starting in '01 with that "...setting a new tone.." nonsense) is comming home to roost. For proof of this you need look no further back than the '06 election and no further ahead than '08.
