He doesn't have my puppy like affection. I think he is blowing it domesticly by not pushing for REAL budget cuts to bloated programs. The house would approve it, the senate would block it, so its a lost battle, but such needs to get into the public eye before we can change a few more senators, he has just made this aspect worse with the 'compasionate conservative'. I THOUGHT that was an election year lie, I HOPED it was just fluff, but it seems he is in fact a man of his word, which I both admire and in this case regret. I am upset with the republican party as a whole as they backed off of the tough talk after the 1994 'revolution' (thanks Bill) and have done very little meaningful reduction in government.

I do think he is handling the war on terror quite well, I think the whines about losing civil liberties is a bunch of B.S. No one here is really outraged it just a new angle for the left to work on hoping it will 'stick'. Its been a constant stream of attacks to the point its just noise.

I find it amusing how Bush is called an idiot and later the same people claim he is able to pull of moves that would make Machiavelli proud. Its been hysteria on the left since they lost power and lost control of the debate and while I'm glad they have been exposed to the American people for what they are at last, I am sad that the facade of civilitiy and in some cases sanity is gone. Perhaps it is just a symptom of society becoming more impolite, or perhaps its a deeper and dangerous divide, time will tell.
