According to who you???
Get real.
So TLB how should the President show guts??
Bush should NOT come down on Lott's side because it's not his decision. It's for the senate republicans to decide.
If Lott had appeared before the TV cameras the first couple of days and handled this thing properly it would have been a dead issue. The race baiters would have been silenced, but did he do that? Oh no, he was on VACATION and that was too important to him. Just like not calling a vote in November on Homeland Security was not important enough for him, or the Terrorist Insurance bill that was holding up thousands of building contracts. Within days of it's passing the company I work for got the go ahead on three projects that had been put on hold. We immediately started calling men back to work.
Bush has given Lott plenty of chances and this fiasco has absolutely nothing to do with Bush, or racism for that matter either.
