Message to thread:

I am astonished no comments about the stellar speech to the joint houses of congress by Tony Blair have surfaced.

I would gladly vote for him as President. He is able to articulate important goals for western nations that have intelligent leadership. At first I thought Clinton was the best ever, then after further listening I realized why they called him "Slick Willie." Then, after further listening I realized that he really does his homework and makes comments to which few have little conflict -- if they are honest.

Blair has done the same against his own British electorate and further Blair has done much to bring Europe (France and Germany) back into the European community and he did much the same to help bring the interests of the USA back into agreement with the interests of the larger aspects of the European community.

Then, he was able to fix the congress's attention on the really important human and moral values that both the USA and the UK espouse and which we both are trying to bring to fruition in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why would politicos want to challenge these values?

I am so grateful for Tony Blair. Sen. Orrin Hatch is rumored to be crafting a piece of legislation that would allow Arnold Schwarzteneger to run for President. Well . . . If money hungry Hatch can do this for Arnold, how about doing the same thing to allow Tony Blair to run for President of the USA? I for sure would vote for him!!

Anyway, I thought Tony did a stellar job today. As we watch the debate in the House of Lords, and we realize just how often and up-front Tony Blair has to defend his political positions, we realize how much we allow our elected officials to hide behind a barrage of "spinning" press secretaries. I would like to see GWB survive for 5 minutes in the same verbally confrontational environment in which Tony Blair lives almost every day.

Well, just my $0.02.
