How I’ve Come to Love President Bush II

How I’ve Come to Love President Bush
First let me say that I’ve always loved Laura Bush and the President’s parents. I think the twins are cute as turtle doves. I at times like Jeb Bush too, despite his questionable past. (That’s called an innuendo.) I would love to go fishing for blue fish with the Bush Family up at their New England ranch. That would be a blast.
Actually, I don’t think I ever said that I disliked George Bush. I mainly said that he did not have the perspective to be a good president. Well, I guess I did say that he was not smart enough to be president even though he was smart enough to fly a jet aircraft.
Well, things have changed since George II got elected.
Every president is pestered daily by national and world events and by those who try to brief him on such.
He learns as he serves.
He sees the reactions of the American People.
Eventually, he starts to wiseup and focuses more on the problems at hand. He acts more presidential. He actually gets smarter. His ratings can go up.
What I’ve learned to admire in our President is his tenacity and his loyalty to his friends; although I wish the circumstances had allowed him to blast the crap out of Congress for their rude treatment of Harriet Miers. (Remember what Truman did when a critic said that Margaret couldn’t sing?)
The President is unwavering. That can be good or bad but in his case, I think it is good.
The President is about to give his State of the Union Address to the combined Congress. I hope that he will blast the Congress for their irresponsible actions and especially for the Prescription Drug Rx Plan that we old folks think is a legislative piece of crap.
I hope he harps on honesty and the best interest of the American People.
I hope that he says that the Congress treated a competent Supreme Court nominee rudely and that they could have given her the respect they gave less desirable nominees in the past. (Okay, I said that I’d stop harping on the ill treatment of Harriet Miers. Well, I can’t!)
When I look at our present problems with Iran, I have to wonder what our relationship with Iraq would be like if we had not invaded. Would Iran and Iraq be joining together in a belligerent stand against Israel, the United States, and Europe?
Well, you will have to ask the experts on that one, but I’m not sure that it would not be a good speaking point for Bush.
Bush is not just unpopular because of the Democrats. His staff members are not exactly public relation experts. I think that his negative polls are mainly due to the poor image of Dick Cheney and the White House Cartel and because of his completely incompetent press secretary, Scott McClellan. I feel sorry for Scotty. He just doesn’t seem to know what in all hell he is doing.
Bush was in somewhat of a shell, but now he has completely emerged and is facing the American Public. He’s becoming more coherent.
Damn I love that man!
Now didn’t I tell you that Samuel Alito would be confirmed and that some democrats would be voting for him?
Now we know that will take place next Monday.
After the President gives his address, his poles will go up again.
Just you watch.
