This week he informed the world that he sent a team of people in to assassinate Usama Bin Laden, clearly against the law and once again without any advice or consent from people outside his inner circle.
Then, there's President Bush's way. Following the law, no matter how inconvenient or time consuming. Working to repair trust with foreign leaders and nations on a basic level, with respect for national sovereignty, and with Bush's quiet determination and resolve, these foreign leaders are gaining respect for a President who does not make idle threats. Americans have a President who also respects their right to know what's going on in their own back yard, and trusts that we are not only capable of understanding, but will come together as a nation and help in this effort.
Excuse the vanity, but the differences between the two men have never seemed clearer to me. President Bush's respect for the law, trust in the American people, ability to see beyond differences and extend a hand to his rivals, faith in God, and love of America. I just wanted to share the observation.
