President Bush has made the Presidency an institution of honor. Only stupid people ascribe power and influence to the Presidency over things where it has very limited to no power. I believe PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH is a man of honor and is looking out for the best interest of all Americans. I trust PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH to do the right thing. I never trusted a guy who said I smoked but did not inhale. Those words were such a prophetic revelation of character. The stupid go on and on about a few bad folks who screwed a lot of people. I look at the thousands who will put their name and reputation on the line about being honest. sec.gov The stupid and ignorant are condemned to live in fear and be exploited by those who know how to use fear well. They are to stupid to see the difference between thousands and a few.

What has Bush done for you, ...? Cut my taxes. Improved education policy. Returned dignity to the WH. Assembled an impressive ledership team. Out US national interest first and foremost in policy making. Do you feel safer? Yes. Not as safe as I'd like just yet but as the war progresses and more successes are realized it will only get better. Bush warned it would be a long process because of the nature of the enemy. How's your portfolio. I have actually had a small increase due to my own (lucky) guess about the timing of the bubble. Do you think corporate cons have gone the way of dinosaurs? For the most part, yes. The punishment those companies received in the market plus the new regs. will deter such conduct. I fear an over-reaction by Congress is the biggest problem facing investors at this point. Do you think global warming is a myth. I think the evidence is inconclusive at this point and consequently that concern must be balanced against economic and other relevant factors. Are you looking forward to sending your son off to fight in Iraq? I don't put much credence in leaks. But, if Bush determines this is necessary and he makes the appropriate case and seeks Congressional authorization for such action, then I hope my son to do his duty as so many before him in our family have done in every major conflict since the Civil War. But, no parent is ever anxious to see a son off to war.
