Not a 'poll' puppet..

I would be appalled if I had a President that ran the country based solely on “the polls”. We have had several generations now that regard “responsibility” as a foreign language.

This President is doing a great job with what he has to work with. Contrary to the screaming multitudes he is not responsible for Acts of Nature, the mindset of terrorists, your economic situation, the spineless stance of much of the rest of the world, nor many of the other things the spin doctors lay at his feet.

To his credit he is doing his job while walking the minefield of blame, blame that would not be his if Responsibility were able to walk tall in this country. The true virus responsible for many of the ills of this country has the telltale stench of the personal greed of our long term politicians to whom The Constitution is but an old piece of history, the goal being getting re-elected with the price being pork barrel spending. The “good of the country” is little more than empty rhetoric.

We sit in our snug, safe little office and heap blame on President Bush. I thank God daily that he is The President and immune to the howling of the banshees that hound his every move with heaps of criticism. 9/11 proved that we are vulnerable and hated. Sticking your head in the sand simply means that the last memory you will have is the taste of sand.
