Unenlightening tripe. The president is extremely touchy about stories that in any way contradict his contention that he had no warning at all on 9/11. Two FBI agents stepped forward to suggest otherwise: Kenneth Williams in Phoenix, followed closely by Coleen Rowley of Minneapolis. Rowley gave a Senate committee a bill of particulars against agency higher-ups who ignored the findings of her office on Zacarias Moussaoui. Does the holier-than-thou Mary McGrory now suggest that President Bush is the "agency higher-up" who ignored the findings of her office? Last I heard, President Bush isn't an FBI "higher up," let alone her patently irrational implication that he ignored a warning which she hasn't even shown that he was given. A political smear.

My two cents on Bush: He inherited a financial market gone overboard. So, with the public more heavily invested in stocks than ever, how does one engineer bringing the markets back to Earth with as little damage as possible to the real economy? No simple feat. We have seen the Bush plan unfold, with a reversion back to defense spending as an economic stimulus, which, in a big electoral-vote state such as California, is probably the best he could do. Overall, given the situation he was in, I'd give him a B for his handling of what he inherited (I expected much worse than what has happened), but no better than a C-minus for his own initiatives, at least so far.
