“not likely upset.” Anyone watching Bush yesterday could see that he was not only upset but was emotional about seeing Shamensty go down in flames. I think he was in total shock. They (the elites) all thought it was a done deal with just a formality of process being flushed down the toilet to bring it about.
And how many of the media elites did you hear decry this destruction of process? Other than Lou Dobbs, I didn’t hear it.
To me, Bush looked like someone who knew that his domestic agenda was done. There’s only about three months at most of any action before the political weight of the elections completely takes over. He knows that. And the political climate now doesn’t even permit him to revisit important issues like Social Security reform, etc. That’s why he looked near tears to me.
He knows its over. And he wasn’t prepared for it.
He made the conscious decision that would be the hill his political capital would die upon - the first shoot-down should've been an indication there was not enough erosion to the Constitution yet to destroy American sovereignty, and American Patriots spoke loudly and with a resonate, clear voice.
Let Bush, let Congress make no mistake about it - American Patriots want, American Patriots DEMAND our borders be secured and our laws enforced, we will not accept any excuses any longer.
You are absolutely correct...that's what I saw too. He actually looked more shocked than when he was first informed about 9-11, imho.
A stunning blow to him, obviously.
"See you at the bill signing."
This arrogant a-hole is not the G Bush I voted for. Let him get back to the war and see if he can't salvage something from Iraq before he walks away.
