If there would be a huge political cost, I think the Dems would have borne most of it if they attacked the President for taking action.

There is no doubt about it.

If President Bush had wrested control from Kathleen Blank-0, early enough to save lives, you know what we'd be hearing now from the ACLU, NOW, "The Feminist Majority," Hillary Clinton and their cohorts in the media?

"Bush hates powerful women !!!"

"Bush hates states' rights!!!"

"Bush is shredding our Constitution!!!"

"Bush is acting like a dictator!!!"

"Bush is Hitler!!!"

"Impeach Bush -- he violated the law!!!"

We are hearing the same kinds of things now. Bush is going to suffer Dem and MSM criticism regardless of what he does. Better to save more lives hearing the list you provided than the ones we are hearing now.
