[history]
July 2, 2002 -- AS George W. Bush became president, I turned to America's best Republican political consultant, Charlie Black, for a line on our new leader. "Always remember," Black told me, "that he's his mother's son."
Mother's son or father's boy? The conflict between Bush's maternal and paternal DNA seems almost to define the zigs and zags of his presidency - and the political ups and downs which they trigger.

KEYWORDS:
Dick simply cannot understand that the President may sometime struggle with the problems confronting him until a path becomes clear, which he then takes. This stems from Dick working with clinton, who never made a decision without first consulting the polls.

"When the president seemed to equate Israeli retaliation with Palestinian provocation and differentiated between Israel's right to strike back at terror and our own, he lost the moral clarity which had so animated him after 9/11"In that move it looked like the Bush doctrine was short lived.

In the early days of his presidency, as Bush retreated on environmental issues like arsenic in water, carbon dioxide in the air and the Kyoto treaty on global warming, he seemed to be following his father's well-worn path to a one-term presidency. Elected with fewer popular votes than Gore, he seemed to define the limits of his popularity with a series of unpalatable concessions to polluters and industry.Dick knows better than this.
This paragraph alone renders the whole piece untrustworthy, even as it struggles (weakly) to avoid coming off like psycho-gibberish. Disappointing stuff, coming from Dick Morris.

If you gave little Dicky(me so beltway cool)Morris a real mickey, blindfolded his stupid little 5'6" tabletop height ass, put an earring in(maybe his ear), put a note in his pocket that he is a pervert, then put him on a small plane to an alternative airport to (no!, not Kansas, he's been there as a pollster and a small dog!) a cute little Marijuana growing area of Coahuila, Mexico, he might, ...well, who would care?
It might depend on what that little note in his pocket had to say....
OOPS! That was the Clinton way....

He's a toe-sucking whore-hopper! If you see him go to church eight weeks in-a-row, gimme a call.
Otherwise, he's just a stooge for hildabeaste.............FRegards

Glade to see some one else can see the color of the Rat’s SKIN….

I agree. And again Dick Morris is not to be totally trusted, because despite the fact that he considers himself independent, he obviously still wears the coat of a
"RAT."

It is interesting how the thread so far is focused upon Dick Morris.
Regardless of the author, I found the following quote both interesting and the question upon my lips for quite some time now concerning the man I voted for.
"Or will an over-concern for European sensibilities rob him of the decisive action America craves and the world needs?"
I can't speak about what America craves, but I crave and the world needs Fundamental Islam DESTROYED. And the sooner the better.
