There is nothing the left wants more than to discourage and defeat conservatives and our cause, and allow the RATS to take over Congress in November.
That's why articles like this are written, and that's why anti-Bush freepers glom onto them and try to bring us all down.
Don't let them succeed at achieving their goal.
This is WAR. And he and everyone in his administration has said from the beginning that it was going to be a long hard war.
But we can see the effects of living in a McDonald's drive-through world, and the American people are wimpy and impatient.
Thank God that the President isn't.
I'm sure you're right about that, but that's why WE here on Fr have to continue to tell the truth, and that truth is OPTIMISTIC.
I believe that he is committed as well. I have also seen, however, the lack of sparkle in his eyes. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders and the world (with a few exceptions) just continues to beat on him. His policies are not being as effective as they could be because of a treasonous congress that wants to put politics above our well being. Certainly, there is a need to pray for him now and at a time such as this more than ever.
Good post!
OhioWFan, look at his face in these pictures...

There have been times as the situation in the world has grown darker that his heart has been clearly burdened. I don't think at all its because he is not trying. But his message is not being as effective as it should be and the world is getting worse and worse.
I think that praying for this world and that its blinders would be lifted is also quite in order as well as praying for strength, wisdom, and encouragement for the President.
I understand what you're saying about the world's getting worse and worse, but I believe that God, in His Sovereignty, is allowing this to happen during President Bush's terms because He knows He has a trustworthy servant leading the world from the Oval Office.
None of this is accidental, nor outside the providence of God, Blogger. And though it is definitely a call to prayer, it is also not a reason to worry.
I hope you saw the Press Conference this morning. The picture of President Bush is in reality quite different than this article presents him to be.
The reality is, IMO, that no President has had more challenges to deal with since Lincoln and sometimes it shows in his face, but he also has the resources with which to solve them. That is our reason to be confident.

I agree. People have already declared him 'down for the count'. ANd then wonder what the problem is.
WHAT??? This author is delusional. Did he not hear about the bigger than 9/11 terror plot that was uncovered and PREVENTED? If that isn't striking down terror, I don't know what is!
The only terror that President Bush hasn't been able to strike down is the terror we are subjected to EVERY day by the ENEMEDIA and DemocRATS like Murtha!
Amen! Perry is usually pretty good, but for this article I'm tempted to say "misunderestimate him at your peril!!"
And currently many insane people are applying for the job..
Absolute BS. This statement represnets the old addage of repeating a lie long enough in the hopes of people taking it as the truth. The fact is, the people of both Afghanistan and Iraq, in the vast majority, support our actions and are enjoying and working for and fighting for and dieing for their new found freedoms. They have proven this over and over in the entire process of voting in interim governments, developing and approving their own constitutions, voting in their new governments and doing it all in the face of death threats from the terrorists.
All of this really unerves and angers two groups of people...the terrorists who are hell bent on tyranny in those countries, and the liberal democrats and other naysayers (media, etc.) who are hell bent on gaining political power or influence regardless of consequences.
He does seem a little confused lately...Kind of like his father maybe? Now were giving 230 million to the Lebanese???? Thats our money folks, ripped from our paychecks ,going to a pathetic spineless terrorist enabling muslim country that attacked western civilization.
Including columnists who describe Bush as having "one knee on the canvas".
I BELIEVE in Bush, the media is the ones who want defeat at all costs.
We need that same attitude we had going into Iraq...Kofi and the UN , shut up and get out of the way so we can get the work done.
Had Bush fired every single Clinton appointee, as he should have (including the ones who "burrowed into" the Civil Service), it would by now be long forgotten, as were Bill Clinton's firing of the Bush people.
We live in a nation besieged by liberal propoganda. We are blessed, however, with Free Republic (thanks Jim!,) Rush, Ann, Sean, and Fox News, to bring balance.
Just like last time, everything will be fine as long as we get up on election morning and get in the voting line. (As Rush said, rather poetically, "We meet at dawn.") As Sean said in last election "I want you to be scared, scared enough to get up and go vote."
So, ok, be afraid, and go vote!
President George Walker Bush has not made any mistakes and I am not going to apologize for him. He has done an excellent job! Until Our Lord Jesus Christ reigns upon the earth, we will still be served by frail human minds that pale by the magnificent power of God's wisdom.
