Presidents when they try to change public opinion, pick their shots, based on conviction and politics. Bush hasn't picked immigration as one of his. What he has picked is the war on terror and education and faith based initiatives. You know that is what he cares about, because those are the issues on which he slips on occasion into uncharacteristic eloquence. Bush is not a subtle man by and large. If you don't like his emphases, then do what you have to do. Sure, I would prefer to have more eloquent and imaginative and truly pricinpled risk takers in politics, that are more interested in changing the dynamic of the public square then in their own reelection, and that goes for both side. Do you have any ideas as to how that might be accomplished? I have one, but you won't like it.
