"Bush can't more than one thing at a time."

Sorry you lost me there. I don't want to misread what you wrote. The pictures I used were to represent priorities and accomplishments. The over whelming majority of "illegal aliens" are not "terrorists". American immigrants know the difference. I apologize if you didn't understand.

I know exactly what you were trying to do. You were trying to show that Bush has to focus on the important issues of national security. Except the borders are a vital part of our national security. By attempting to give Bush an excuse as to why he doesn't need to focus on the border using the phrase " A president is always faced with numerous priorities." you provide Bush with an excuse for not paying attention to the border.

By extrapolation, one could use the same excuse for Clinton. He was too busy with other things and couldn't handle national security.

You can't have it both ways. Either the president is responsible for all things in the Executive branch or he gets an excuse. He has virtually millions of people working for him. Claiming he's too busy on certain issues therby excusing him from taking care of all of his responsibilities is just an excuse.
