The Presidency has been transformed into a popularity show. I'm disgusted by the Republican Party - they sold out and you can color me gone right now.
Just why does Bush have to play policeman as well as run this country, fight terrorist, fight democrats, try to get tax cuts and all the other efforts we want in government? Bush had a choice - go after Clinton with revenge after years of investigations, impeachment efforts, and everything the republicans had done to take Clinton to task - or set about putting in his policies as quickly as possible. He did not run on the platform - to investigate chinagate, etc. He ran on things he wanted to get done and he set about doing them getting far more through than we ever thought possible.
Looks like you just wanted him for revenge. Another thing - what would have happened if he attacked Clinton with more investigations? It would have immediately put Clinton in the limelight and rallied his forces to take over the Bush term with Clintonantics.
Bush handled it perfectly - he showed class, dignity and leadership. We finally had a leader running the government. Clinton was now out of power - I would not have wanted Clinton controlling the agenda from the sidelines.
