National Review is NOT conservative. They have some conservative policies, others decidely not. Some are pro-Bush, some are not. What you have are elites largely located in Washington (this includes the FNC panel) caught up in "image" over the reality that this is a national crisis.

The President had his priorities straight. They, sadly, are too caught up in the politics.

No, the President did not look discouraged. Discouragement is Shep on FOX if you've watched him. he's completely losing it and needs a break.

President Bush and his staff just need to get on top of the public relations aspect of these things. They are working hard behind the scenes, but in the meantime for the first day through early this morning, there were no speeches to the public made by the President. When he did speak, it was at a time when people were not at home to hear it and now it is left to the media to tell the public what he said!

It is hard I know, but people feel that they need immediate action by the President (the hand holding aspect). In fact I think he needs to address the public again in a more compassionate manner than he did today.

Freepers -- do not climb all over me, I am a Bush supporter, all I want to express is that this is not the only time they have reacted vs. acted on events.
