"But, you know, if you go back and look at the context, there was not the support in this country for the steps that were needed,"

Russert missed the boat on that one.

The "context" was 9/11. Saving lives of innocent American citizens should not depend on public support. He certainly did not have public support when he freed the FALN Terrorists. Russert truly disappointed me.

This amazes me too. It is simply further proof of Clinton being nothing more than a politician without the leadership or statesmanship to "do the right thing".

Bush didn't have the support either...he simply did what a patriot/statesman/president should do and the support came later. Of course, he and his people surrounding him, built the coalition that helped produce the support.
