Bottom line, if Dubya lost focus under the puny pressure he was put under, he shouldn't have been in that job. There has hardly been a president who had control over his own destiny and that of his actions than gw. The reality of it is that he is not qualified, which is largely why he surrounded himself with this radical team, who in the end led him down the primrose path...and the rest is hystory. I will remind us of what richard pearl said about bush...that his first meeting's impressions were that he knew very little about anything...that he could be "directed"...and that they did. Al

CJ, there's a difference between pressure to produce results and pressure to topple a sitting president. The former comes from those who are part of the solution. The latter comes from those who are part of the problem. Hillary's "Bush Knew" stunt can only fit into the latter. I don't know why you continue to defend the obstructionism from the Democrats or excuse it in light of what Bush failed to accomplish. To call that stunt "criticism" or compare it to the healthy pressure that FDR, Truman, LBJ, or Nixon faced is pointless. Tenchusatsu
