Haha, yeah, the Jersey Shore makes me cringe. You're right about Bush I think. I honestly don't know many who think he's a great president. I think he's a great person, and that he is a bold leader. I think it will take time to see what his legacy is. However, while his policy is bold, I think he should be even more so. I want to see a tough president, one who goes after the press, and doesn't let them simply ridicule the office. Somebody needs to slap the media around, knock them off their high horse of "doing service to the public." They are corporate goons, like the oil men they so often associate with Bush. Bush also needs to play Hardball in Congress, but the lack of Republican power in the Senate and House is not his fault. I mean, seriously, does Frist or Hastert scare anyone? You think Nancy Pelosi could run her mouth like she does when Newt was Speaker? No way. She would be shunned, backroom dealt, and made to look like a fool in the public arena. I think Bush is a decent president, one who has faced a great deal of problems, and dealt with them in a manner he saw fit. May work, may not, but his leadership in times of crisis is fairly good. He's no Reagan, but this is a different world we live in. Fear not Republicans, power and authority is on the way, via Mitt Romney. Anyone else see him talking about the Big Dig yesterday? Some reporter asked him if he wanted the resignation of the person overseeing the project and Romney said something along the lines of "No I don't want his resignation, I want termination." Romney 08
