I am bored of reading the media and Democrat’s spins on the actions of those crazies…I’m slowly getting tired of most politicians spins in general.

I long for a return of the Bush of post 9/11. Clarity, purpose, driven.

He’s allowed the media to beat him down,I believe.

It’s amazing how the polls immediately go south for Bush when he moves towards the dark side. He is actually doing a good job as far as economic growth is concerned. He is better than Clinton in so many ways. But you are right. He’s gone in regards to the war. And Rumsfeld is presiding over the Able Danger fiasco. Minetta is still around. The country wants to continue fighting while Bush and Ginsberg are taking a nap. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s got the motivation to deal with Iran and Syria. They must be feeling pretty safe right now.

When Bush said ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ I didn’t think he actually believed it, but was merely trying to calm the country down to prevent crimes against muslims and to placate the more moderate muslim states. Now, I’m not so sure. He allowed the media to shape the message and lawyers to conduct the operations of the war. He cowered over Abu Ghraib. He’s softened on the captives in Guantanamo, releasing many caught on the field of battle, only to return to fight again. He’s allowed attorneys to define the rules of engagement that allow the terrorists to ALWAYS get the first shot, with increasing lethality to our men. This is perceived not as noble humaneness by the islamists. It’s perceived as weakness, which further emboldens the islamists and demoralizes the troops and the country in general. I, too, wish that the steely resolve of 9/12 would return. That Reaganesque defiance towards Iran and Syria would drive the message and stiffen the will of the country. Instead we’ve got emboldened and defiant moonbats dragging the country towards depression, malaise and indifference.

You have spoken the words I cannot speak. And now that I read them I want to vomit. From fear.

I agree the media has beaten him down. But worse is when the President tries to satisfy the left; it’s always a disaster. A positive legacy won’t be made by collaborating with Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and being politically correct.

I too long for the heroic President. The conservative man of faith, the one who responded to 9/11 with resolve, and courage, and an effective war on terror.

I think his biggest troubles started when he tried to appease the left and the enemy by stating that “Islam is the religion of peace.” When he should have said, it’s time for all Muslims of good faith and piety to stand with us against terrorists and the corrupting influence they have on Islam.

Then when he attacked the brave patriots, the Minutemen, trying to force the government to protect our borders by calling them vigilantes, this confirmed that the President’s drift to the left was real and perhaps permanent. That day I felt sick to my stomach and a sense of a terrible loss of a hero.

Yes, bring back the President Bush of post 9/11. And do it soon, or the 2006 and 2008 elections will take us back to the horrors of a Democrat controlled Congress and another destructive and corrupt Clinton Administration.
