Really enjoyed this speech and the results he is advocating. The press keep going back to when this was announced like they are really bugged it is going to take away from the hearings. They are back to whining as usual and don't believe they can fathom he just pulled the rug out from under the DemocRATS again!
Well, now the idiot Democrats got exactly what they asked for. On top of it all, the lower-level bureaucrats that Bush will appoint for this will probably sail through Senate confirmation because they were so blindsided.
More important than that, money will be taken from some of these other departments and funnelled to Homeland Security.
Methinks somebody is leading the Democrats by the nose: Giving them bait on which they'll surely bite.
I like it. :)
Most of the bureaucracy is going to be pulled from other parts of the Executive Branch. (taking some power away from some of those departments....good!)
It is a huge task and I hope Congress will act quickly. This President doesn't fume and fuss - just lays it out and expects sane people to act. They don't always do that. Most of the time the Demoncreeps screech and holler and spew and spin - and the President just goes to work.
If they don't act, if they fail to move quickly - fine. He is not going to bash them over their traitorous heads or blackmail them as the Clintonoids did over and over again. He will just get the best deal he can get and move on.
That is frustrating to those of us who want it all - even though the Senate Demonrat majority is such an obstacle that most here just simply do not grasp the problem that gives the President.
What is clear to me is this man is NO NONSENSE - GET TO WORK - and let's clear this mess up and get things right.
He simply has no time for foolishness or self centeredness or any other dilly dallying.
VP Cheney is exactly the same.
All business.
No nonsenes.
Efficient as he can be in his own conduct.
Demanding such efficiency and excellence of all who work with him and with whom he works.
While still exuding love of his fellow Americans of all colors, all ethnicities, all ages, all genders, all conditions.
How amazing there is a man like this even available to be our President at this time! And a Christian to boot!
Truly, America is blessed. May each of us carry on with our lives with similar maturity, self-discipline, and determination to do what is necessary to protect this country and advance the cause of freedom here and around the world.
