He seems to be effectively accomplishing a certain amount of "incrementalism". Of course conservatives, me included, would rather things change significantly and swiftly. One of the things I always thought about Clinton was that the legislation he was signing was not as devastating as the work being done by the everyday appointees he had put in place. I trust that this is being duly accomplished in the other direction, as I am familiar with a very high level appointee of one of the largest cabinet departments.
Having said all that, I don't like the legislation, think it is an attack on the 1st Amendment and still hope he doesn't sign it; but like you, I'll stick around to see how the second half of the game goes.

I agree.
Bush seems to have a big picture perspective which I confess I don't often see.
Of course, the perspective from which he views things is rather unique..."

Okay, I just have to.
Can you two see how the epithet of "Bushie" came about??
At least David Koresh had to TELL his followers about his position.
Bush's followers just instinctively KNOW how special he is.
