As I posted earlier on another thread - second terms usually turn out badly, e.g. Reagan and Iran Contra, Clinton and Lewinsky, Nixon and Watergate. GW's second term has started out poorly, and is sinking fast.

Hubris may be an explanation for his rotten performance so far. He thought that be winning reelection and by having a very favorable election in Iraq, he could conquer the unconquerable - the Social Security mess. So all his energies have been wasted on the unwinnable, and his political capital has been squandered.

So what do we have -- a lame duck president who cannot even get confirmation of his UN ambassador and his judges. Meanwhile his foolish position on illegals will split the party and will render his presidency at best ineffectual for the next three years.

Disgusted and frustrated.

Hubris? I know of only one side that uses that word in definition of this President. Sure you are on the right site?

The President isn't sinking.

The Republican Majority is sinking. It's sinking because the cowards we elected in Congress can not get their act together and govern as the Majority.

What makes your valid points so infuriating is that Bush isn't swept up in any scandal. I almost wish there was a scandal in which to blame his and the GOP's ineffectiveness.

I'm disgusted and frustrated as well.
