TP, The 9/11 attack unnerved everyone but the impact forces W to the edge of the envelope.
Finally, he found a reason to be "the president." After 9/11, he and Tony Blair were
our greatest cheerleaders! W was transformed, according to the press. Congress
agreed. They didn't have a choice, did they?
Still, the war showed us the reckless side of his nature: He sounded like a wild Texas
Cowboy when he claimed, he wanted Osama "dead or alive."
Some think he is crazy because he has threatened
military action against Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Then, there is his
his inflexible nature. Everyone who disagrees with him is unpatriotic.
W is a product of the Enron culture some say. The Enron corporate culture
pushed the "me first" attitude. While the fallout from Enron's bankruptcy
is bad enough, I worry that W's tough talk abroad will get us blown to bits
at home.
When I watch W working daily on the home agenda, I see
how as President he epitomizes the Enron culture"
"The ingrained philosophy was, me first, money counts and
the government should eliminate my taxes."
"That's all they cared about -- what impacted them
personally."
