That was my biggest hope for our current President.
I was condident that he would use the soapbox as a weapon.
He “pardoned” Bill, and then he “allowed” China to hold our AWAC crewman hostage, but most important our plane was torn apart and returned in pieces. (Hopefully my memory is correct). I was disappointed in that right off that bat.
I also think he made the wrong moves after 9/11.
A manhatten project to get us off our oil addiction, which funds the muzzies would have served the intersets of American citizens much better then what we have now.
Protect our borders and restore pride in being the owner of a USA passport. I could go on.
If he had been more forceful on all issues he would have been a much more effective President and we would not have lost Congress.
President Bush sat at the desk but he didnt lead.

Bottom line.... He could have been a great man but he choose the new world disorder instead.

I dont know where that rant came from. It started off to make a simple staement and I didnt start.

I didnt mean all that for the poster I replied to but thanks for letting me unload.

When I heard W. had gone into the Texas National Guard instead of going to Vietnam I got an "hair on the back of you neck" feeling about him, that he didn't have the panache to be a real leader and voted for Buchanan(Tennessee was polling heavily for W) as a protest vote.

And I voted for him in 04 and don't regret it , considering the choices.

I still get that queasy feeling every time he's had to make the big decisions, never sure which way he might go.

The best thing to come outta of the eight years of the Bush terms is Roberts and Alito and keeping the Dims out.
