I agree with many others here that my disappointment in the Bush administration is increasing. President Bush now appears to have to weigh all his words before he speaks- and is it because this is an election year? I miss the 'old' President Bush- forceful, bold and unafraid.
The illegal immigration issues, the trade deficit and the gay marriage issues need to be addressed by the President- and from a conservative position IF he is to gain back the passion many of us once had for him. I can't understand why the Bush team can't see what is so clear to the rest of us patriots.

They can see it.

But some things require a second term,when politicians CAN do big things.

The sorry state of affairs in this country is the result of years of Democratic incrementalism. We may have to get out of it the same way!

Patience, my friend! The tide is turning!
