Excellent summary and assessment.
ditto that
I will make a prediction that only history can bear out. This president will make a mark on this planet far deeper than any other president of the last 200 years. It will be a mark that will return us closer to what the founding fathers intended. It will also come closer to healing the unmitigated damage done by 50 years of democRATic rule. I may be wrong but who do you want to bet with? I'll bet with President George Bush.
Liked 'ACTIVIST' and 'VISIONARY'. By contrast, Clinton simply wanted to get LAID.
I've learned more about Reagan since his death. I was a dim back then, so I didn't try to learn anything about him. The things I have read, he was a great man.
But Bush...Bush has my heart. He's my first Republican President. And I think I made a wise decision when I chose a party that had such a man like him..
Generations May Pass before the "Beneficiaries" of "W's" Policies & Speeches are "Appreciated By" Cultures Now Totally Unaware of the POWER & WISDOM of "W's" Leadership.
I TRULY BELIEVE that "W" MAY WELL HAVE a PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON "Human Culture" for "Centuries to Come!!"
We Live in a Time of PROFOUND CRISIS; ONLY a "GREAT LEADER" is "Capable of" RESOLVING THAT CRISIS!!
Doc
I believe he's the most honest of the Beltway Boys Of Summer. And I believe he's glad he no longer has to put up with old McL's "Beadle" taunts...
Yup. When it is Krauthhammers turn to speak, the rest of the panel SHUTs the HELL UP. The man speaks with intellect and conviction; vs. when Juan blathers incoherent mindless disconnected (dan) blather.
I put the life of my family in his hands and it's strong hands he has.
He looks to a higher power that's for sure. He's a man I can trust.
He can root for both. The Rangers and the Nationals are in different leagues. There is no stigma to a fan of an American League team also following a particular NL team.
this is the truth...and I think it has been made known to him, and he walks with it, not in pride, but in humility and a great sense of responsibility...I think he was warned what would be on his plate if he went forward and what terrible things he would have to deal with. He accepted and has not faltered.
I can't even begin to imagine what he - and Laura - have gone through since 9-11. We know some - but what we know is only the tip of the iceberg. How one man can deal with what he has had to - and knows he will have too - and still remain so calm and steady is amazing - and a test of what he is made of, as well as a testimony to the protection he gets from Above.
The dems use his straight talking and his "simple" way of looking at things to make people think he is looking to retalitate for all percieved wrongs.
Tonight, H&C had Geraldine Ferraro on and she was talking about how terrific Kofi Annen is, and that the only reason that Bush isn't backing him now, against the call for his resignation, is because right before the election Kofi said the Iraq War was illegal and immoral. Therefore, she said, Bush is "paying Kofi back". Actually, I think Bush has known the character of Annen for a long time, and is glad that he is going to get his comeuppence.
I think that is also what the media think---that because they say negative things about him, he pays them back. Well, duh!!!!!
I don't doubt that. He is in a unique positon. He has a mandate, he has a resolution, and he has a faith. We may well be on the verge of "one for all and all for one" again. We may not have to deal with radical egalitarianism and radical individualism. Those two concepts are good for 1960's nutcases but we are far above that.
Love the Shopping List, its almost all checked off! LOL
4th church in Bethesda, MD is also where Jack Kemp worships. Fred and Mort are friends from a Bible study they originally attended, and Mort is the more liberal of the two in his views.
Fred Barnes needs to get away from the superficial people he runs into in the big city of his choice.
Fred must remember a Harvard MBA guy like Bush always has ideas miles and years beyond the present.
Fred misunderestimated dubya like everyone else has.
Excellent observation and well delievered. Thanks.
Yup. you nailed it.
By George, I think you've got it.
