Though many around here won't give him an inch of credit, I certainly agree with the author.

Note to Steve: You really should be running for office yourself - just not the presidency.

Terrific post. Thank You. Forbes is a lousy personal communicator, but uses a lot of common sense on substantive issues. Thanks again.

Compare this with anything Hillary, Al Gore, or John McCain have said since the election.

Well said Mr. Forbes.
Thank God we have George Bush as President in times such as these.
He is MY man of the year too. :)

He’s also repeatedly praised Putin’s move last year to scrap Moscow’s corruptingly complex tax code in favor of a 13% flat tax.

I hate to say it, but we really need to be more like Russia on this one. I'll take a 13% flat tax any day!

Hey, ladyinred, nice to see you.

I really, really like Steve Forbes and wish that he would run for some office. He ran for president, but let's get real - he could easily win a lower office from his state. I've often thought he should be Sec. Treas. or even Sec. Commerce.

W. is a no-brainer for Man of The Year. Just goes to show that those who are considering "someone else" have no brains.

6. He has restored honor and dignity to the White House. The man wears a suit and tie in the Oval Office. Always. Enough said.

And unlike Slick Willie, he uses the Oval Office sink to wash his hands instead of to ****off in...

Thank you deport. America is blessed with many, many good people. Steve Forbes is certainly one of the best.

BUMP!
