This is a great read freepers. I like the part of W. being like Ronald Reagan

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

This is a good read. And this came from Time magazine? It must be a Christmas miracle.

[marajade]

Not quite. Bush should have been man of the year but Time couldn't quite bring themselves to name two years in a row.

[A Navy Vet]

The adults are indeed back in charge. What a team!

[asneditor]

It really is a great read despite the source. This article gives some good insight into the workings of the Presidents inner circle and advisors. The word "obstructionist" associated with Daschle was a smart move by The White House. We all should be using that in conjuction with his name.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Oh, no doubt. The liberals are still mad as hell about Bush getting Man of the Year last time. Not to drag down Rudy, I think that GW deserves it again. A lot of people do not understand the depth and magnitude of Bush's presidency. If Gore was in, our country would be overrun by Chinese and Russian troops after seeing the patheticly weak lack of response to 9/11 given by the Gore adminstration. Communists and terrorists the world over would smell the blood in the water and would be swarming us like ants.

THEY did not LEAD.......WE WILL.....and WE are. I am SOOOOOO glad that GW Bush is President. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[Wolfstar]

You got that right! As I've said on another thread, President George W. Bush is already a man for the ages. As much as I admire Rudy, the achievements of President Bush and his administration already are so far reaching, it's breathtaking. The impact of this Presidency will shape world history in this new century in ways we can only imagine. But it is an impact that is likely to still reverberate long after Time, itself, is but a dim memory.

[Maceman]

Can anyone -- ANYONE -- imagine Bill Clinton handling the war on terror (assuming he would even mount one) with anything like the vision, discipline, competence and class that Bush has demonstrated.

Everyday it gets clearer that Bush is a world class executive, and Clinton was an over-rated clown.

[slimer]

Good stuph! bump

[Ole Okie]

We all should be using that in conjuction with his name.

Are you saying that Little Tommi Puff D'asshole is an obstructionist?

ROFLMCO!!! !

This reads like an accurate summary of events to me. It puts the whole thing together very well, and gives credit where credit is due. There are still one or two obligatory snide comments, such as "What he lacks in experience, he has made up in instinct." On the contrary, Bush has had a lot of experience working, dealing with people, running businesses, balancing budgets, and running a state government. Far more experience than either Gore or Clinton, for instance, or that idiot Daschle.

Also, that bit about "overreaching" when he lambasted congresscritters for leaking secrets to the press. It was exactly the right thing to do, and it appears to have stopped the leaks. Bush is not a power-hungry, imperial president. That was clinton.

[j.cam]

How was Bush less qualified than Clinton? They show their bias even when trying to be fair.

[j.cam]

"his distaste for detail"

Distaste for detail? Bush met with the CIA chief twice a weak according to this article, while Clinton met with Lewinsky instead of the CIA chief.

[Keith]

"But his reaction to the leak was the first of several instances in which Bush has overreached as he has presided over the greatest expansion in federal power in a generation or more. "

This crap still p***es me off. It's because it's the first time we've been attacked by a FOREIGN POWER in a generation, you idiots. You know they would be defending the former felon if it had been on his watch. Fortunately, no one is listening to Time on this crap anymore...

[OldFriend]

Have to admit that making Rudy THE MAN......Al Sharpton had a fit!!! For that alone it was worth the honor!!!!! However, I did hear that there is plenty of praise for our beloved President in the issue........

[boris]

I had been wondering pre 9/11 when Bush would finally get rid of Tenant. Oh well.

Every Clinton appointee that remains is a saboteur-in-place, up to and including the director of the CIA.

And, BTW, Pakistan is a terrorist state, and needs to be dealt with. In particular, all of the "madrassas" need to be destroyed utterly--yesterday.

--Boris

[boris]

I meant Tenet.

[marajade]

That's okay it doesn't really matter to me because I wouldn't buy it even if Bush was on the cover.
