<I see you as a partisian bilovating democrat now with a special hate to black women.> You need new glasses -- and a dictionary. My assessment of Bush and people around him, including Rice, is strictly based on performance. You will never grasp that because you are so knee deep in defending your partisan perception of the world. But for those of us who are neither knee-jerk Republicans nor knee-jerk Democrats, we are free to tell it like it is -- and it is astonishing how much there is to tell. The Bush Presidency has been nothing short of a disaster. I see nothing to admire in this man nor in the people around him. This is not because of some partisan viewpoint on my part -- I was more than willing to see what Bush would do before I formed an opinion. My negative opinion of Bush began the day Cheney began to chant "unilateral regime change" as the cornerstone of US policy with Iraq as the first target. What followed has been nothing short of a tragedy for the United States.

"The families want our government, the Congress, the White House and everyone else to recognize that they lost their loved ones because their government failed them. All of us failed them -- in the legislature, in the executive branch, we all failed them." _________________________________________________ Will Bush Own Up? By E. J. Dionne Jr. Tuesday, April 13, 2004; Page A19 "We stand for a culture of responsibility in America. We're changing the culture of this country from one that has said, if it feels good, do it, and if you got a problem, blame somebody else, to a culture in which each of us are responsible for the decisions we make in life." Maybe President Bush should reread his own words, offered last week at a fundraiser in Charlotte. They explain why his response to the disclosure of the now famous Aug. 6, 2001, presidential daily brief (PDB) is maddening to so many and why his refusal to say plainly that he now wishes he had done some things differently before Sept. 11 is so disturbing. To take responsibility straightforwardly would be a sign of strength, not weakness. Instead, the president is sticking to a strategy of denial. washingtonpost.com
