Look folks, the left feels they have won here. . .that's why they are happy. ..they think they got Bush to capitulate. .they think their attack, attack, attack strategy has forced Bush away from conservative principles. . .and he's willing to spend ANYTHING to buy his way out. . .NEXT, they believe, BUSH WILL HAVE TO RAISE TAXES OR GET OUT OF IRAQ BECAUSE HE CAN'T DO IT ALL WHILE TAKING CARE OF THE POOR!!

Never take you eye off the enemy. . ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SMILE!!!

I disagree because the left NEVER backs off when it comes to bashing the president. In their eyes he has NEVER done anything right and nothing has changed. Their where plenty of left wing attackers the day following the speech, from Kerry, Reid and Pelosi to name three. Yet suddenly it all has stopped both from the libs and from the press. It is no coincidence that this happened after the truth came out about Blanco's and Nagin's failures along with poll after poll that showed many more people blamed the local authorities then they did Bush.

The drop in Bush's poll numbers is, imo, solely attributable to the spike in gasoline prices. I expect that when they drop to the $2.50 range by the end of October at the latest and the elections in Iraq come off as expected AND the good news out of LA increases daily as it certainly will, his approval numbers will be back to where they were before Katrina, around the 50% range.
