“Not meaning to appear to pile-on”

Sun-Tzu

Hehehe… who woulda thunk my “Pedestrian President” crack was going to get the reaction it did? ;-)

There some truth to what you say about the current press coverage making larger than life politians more difficult to eulogize, but — on the other hand — didn’t the Conservatives just get done eulogizing Regan as the larger than life, ender of the cold war?

If you like Bush that’s fine by me. I’m just stating that his inability to exploit the bully pulpit of the Presidency is very much a liabilty to me. The importance of this war has transcended my personal politics. I don’t care if a Democrat, a Republican, or whatever is the one that can get it done with the least amount of blood and heartache to all. I just want it handled as best as possible.

In this election I am frustrated by the choices. Because I call Bush pedestian does not mean I’m an ABB voter. I am frustrated, although not entirely surprised, the Democrats are so unserious about this war that they put forth a puff of wind as a candidate.

Oh well, ya play the hand you’re dealt.
