President Bush does not follow polls and that why he is a great leader, you got it in reverse.
You think calling an Oval Office speech in prime time after his numbers dipped into the 30s a coincidence? Trust me, they're looking at the polls.
President Bush doesn't have political clout, and that compromises his ability to get things done.
That is true and it is a trait to be admired.
However, when that trait conflicts with his oath to the Constitution a problem arises. He is charged with enforcing the laws and securing the borders. His principles are in conflict with that oath but the oath should override. That is does not disappoints me. That it will negatively impact the war with islamofascists pisses me off.
