Dubya speaks truth in the 2nd paragraph. Like it or not.

You're absolutely right! The election was the "accountability". If the American people had thought Iraq was the wrong thing to do - generally - they would have stayed home on election day.

It's this very accountability which the dems don't get. The American people held the DEMOCRATS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. Ain't it great!!

Sorry, fellas; I see an insecure leader fishing for reinforcement in strange waters. He already proclaimed he has a "mandate" from the people to pursue his not-an-amnesty, while his squeaker reelection was really about which candidate would serve us better in this war against fanatical Islam. While I've voted for him twice I'm not going to worship him or any other mortal man, especially one seemingly hellbent on fulfilling his father's failed "vision thing". I believe he'd be a truly great leader if he weren't so insulated and resistant to new information - the polar opposite of Kerry's flip-flop problem. We must support our leaders but also have a duty to help them by pointing out when they're wrong.

But have a great time at your inaugural parties. Somehow my invitation must have been lost in the mail. I'm sure that my under $100 contribution (yet everything I could afford) had nothing to do with that (heh heh).
