 Failing Marks for a Once Promising President Supporting the PresidentCommentary for Thursday 12/07/2006 A President who is Hard to SupportSupporting George W. Bush is Tough Sledding: This has got to be the hardest President to support in history. He is an equal opportunity President to dislike. I can't think of what gripes me more, his wishy-washy middle of the road social stands, or his failure in Iraq. One thing at a Time: What about immigration reform? It is hard to tell exactly what the President wants. What sort of plan does he expect from the congress? Amnesty for those living here now? Maybe, but he says he's against amnesty. How about the guest worker program? Workers admitted because of need? Maybe, but he has been talking about a four year permit. Four years!! That doesn't sound like a temporary guest worker program to me. Four years is enough to marry, have kids and settle down for the long haul - at least until the next amnesty is proposed. Double Speak: We not only get double speak about the border because there is Iraq. It was a noble cause in the beginning, but he only made half enough commitment to make it a reality. I really think he thought that we would go riding in on a white horse and be received as heroes and everybody would be singing kum-by-ya together. The reality was altogether different. We never had enough forces to take control of that country, not even in the early stages. Remember when all of the lawlessness was going on and we had our first oops moment. There was no police to enforce the peace. Then there was the Fallujah fiasco, and not to forget Muqtada al Sadr and his militia. Bush gets off the hook with Katrina: This was mostly a State of Louisiana screw up with Bush taking the blame and falling on the sword. But his acceptance of the blame was another of those lame attempts at being a politician. For some reason he wanted to give the impression that everything that happened was under his control. I wanted to throw up just watching as threw his FEMA director under the bus, - as if that would stop the partisan attacks against him. Yes it is hard to support Mr. Bush: Why is it so hard for him to take a stand? He has been a political disaster, he led his party to defeat, and now he continues to ply his mushiness by patronizing the left. Please Mr. Bush, no more! Please stand for something.
