I lost a lot of respect for Bush when he signed the CFR bill, especially when he stated in the process that he had "concerns" about its constitutionality, but that he felt the courts would handle the mess. That's a violation of his oath of office. And it conflicts with his earlier criticisms of CFR during the campaign.
Since he signed the unconstitutional bill, I have a hard time taking him seriously as a person who understands the importance of his oath, of the constitution, and of restoring our nation to its founding principles.
But I accept the fact that he is better than Clinton and Gore, or any other Democrat. I just don't know if I can in good conscience work again to get him elected in 2004. I dunno. We'll see.
That said, I reiterate that it's important to hold the president--or any other servant of the people--to account. If he's done something wrong, we have the right and the duty to let him know. Expressing your ire, after all, is one way to persuade.
And on the other hand, let me reiterate that a person should not get carried away in criticizing. Exaggerating the situation, and treating Bush unfairly--as I believe this article does a bit--only hurts the conservative cause and erases credibility.
