I believe the whole Richard Clarke/911 Commission thing is going to backfire big-time.

That would be true, except that the media is on the side of the Clarke/DNC/Kerry and won't report the lies, and in fact will continue to repeat them. This is very bad news, IMO, and proof that the President's bully pulpit is not enough to overcome the weight of the leftwing press.

So what would you suggest.....we give up?

Dave you need to take a deep breath and relax.

Read the entire poll.

Bush is still "the man" on fighting terrorism; Kerry's not even close.

In addition, it would appear the country blames Clinton more than Bush for 9/11.

Well what do you suggest be done? ....."proof that the Prsident's bully pulpit is not enough".....

You can probably become a big time heavy hitter is your assertion is correct and you have a plan to overcome it.....

The President hasn't even begun to use the bully pulpit yet. When he does the landscape will change. We're still over 7 months from the election...there's going to be alot more crap coming our way. Don't let it get you down.

George W. Bush is an awesome campaigner...remember 2002? Once he gets in high gear and we have the canventions behind us, well, Katie bar the door. Don't ever misunderestimate George W. Bush, or you'll be sorry.

Preparing for The Next Pearl Harbor Attack (JUNE 2001, Bush team addressing terrorism threat)

Excerpt:

But it wasn't a photo opportunity, and few politicians seemed to take notice. The following year, in 1998, Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) 63, requiring government agencies to secure their own critical infrastructure systems and to work with the private sector on the problem. PDD 63 created a central-oversight body within the National Security Council called the Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office (CIAO).

CIAO maintained a staff of one: Richard Clarke.
