The legacy of 'W'?

If you pretty much demolish a city, it's going to take a while to fix it. I also applaud the basic concept of No Child Left Behind. Finally, I have no problem, in fact I support, his tax cuts. I don't care for the Dems slogan "but they're tax cuts for the rich." Those rich guys are already paying more than their share of the budget.

My main gripe with Katrina was their painfully slow reaction time and their lack of a plan. It's not like this was any sort of huge surprise, it was bound to happen some day. I'm not totally blaming Bush because there probably should have been a plan of action in place a long time ago, but since it did happen on his watch he has to be held responsible to a degree.

Plus, and I admit this is a personal gripe of mine, I can't stand how the guy can't even speak correctly, and he comes off so damn smug I just want to strangle him. And as far as charisma and that "it factor" when it comes to leadership, the guy is so completely lacking it's downright embarrassing.

It's funny because when I hear him speak, I can feel myself wanting to tell him to "sound it out....you can read it."

It sounds like you want someone who can play the role of President. We had him and all the Democrats said he was an idiot as well. It seems there is no pleasing you.

And "it factor"? Have you been reading the magazines at the Supermarket checkout or something?

He's just not a convincing leader in the least bit. It would be nice if he could at least speak intelligently. I wouldn't even be able to get behind him if he were a manager at McDonald's.
