Clinton lived and died by them. It is not a good way to LEAD. You surround yourself with the best people (as GWB has done) and then PLOT THE COURSE. He is a great man who puts the good of the country ahead of popularity and I admire him greatly for it.
Clinton ONLY cared about his legacy - not running the country.
(oh yes, and his women too.)

Yes, that's the mark of a leader--The leader does what he thinks is best, and takes the heat for his decision. Bush has done that. [What IS right may take years to determine.] And as those with a memory can attest, Iraq DID have weapons of mass destruction, and have failed to account for all that were under their control.

RLP ....... What is that Republicans Love Pork? And to you "white" is "right" huh? Clinton isn't dead dill-weed. The best PEOPLE? G. Gordon (Hitler) Liddy? Karl (SS) Rove? Rush (loratab) Limbaugh? PLOT the course.... You at least got that part right. Bush has done a lot of plotting for sure. He is NOT a great man.... He's an imbecile.
Clinton cared about his women? Does that make you jealous because your husband cheats on you? It's a Freudian thing. Maybe if you lost a couple of hundred pounds your old man might care about YOU again.
And as for your admiration, you'd admire the southbound side of a northbound horse if you admire Bush. Take your right-wing brown nose out of here and get a life.

Maybe you should get you news from someplace more reliable than the faux new network.
In case they (Fox) didn't tell you, there was a report by the Iraq Study Group which had members from both parties. These are not polls, these are people who actually know what they're talking about and they advised us to remove ourselves from the middle of a civil war.
What is so right about supporting Islamic fundamentalists as they try to kill off the opposing religious groups? The same people we are "supporting" in Iraq (the Shia) are the people Bush wants to drop a bomb on in Iran. The only people we're helping in this fiasco are the major corporations who are getting rich by selling inferior military merchandise to the detriment of our soldiers.
When 70 percent of the population from BOTH parties including Military and State Department advisers think it's time to leave then staying is just plain foolishness.

I admire his conviction in the face of awful, awful approval ratings.
He's been bullheaded, and he's been wrong, but he's certainly had conviction.
"PLOT THE COURSE"? I'm still shaky on the Iraq war. It was sold on false pretexts. It was still the right thing to do, but it was executed badly. The generals said, "we need more troops". Bush said, "can't be done, politically". The generals said "we need more money for adequate armor." "Can't be done, politically." Finally, the generals said, "We need to change something, then." Bush simply replied, "No".
That's conviction.

This war was started to go after those who are terrorist and 9/11. Which if we can all agree for a second, the name of terrorisism at the time was Osama bin Laden. Now Mr. Bush was heard and quoted with saying...'I don't think much about him anymore" This war was to go after Saddam because he threatened his daddy!!! He had no intention to go after Osama...He flew Osama's family out of the country for there safety. If we caught Osama in the interim...good! a News flash.
Clinton ran a good term...the only thing that Republicans harp on was his adulterous affair with Monica. But other than that...the country was in excellent shape. we had low unemployment, a surplus, not a huge deficit, the first in like 20-30 years and only the 2nd in US history...but as soon as Duh-bya came into office...he went shopping!!!!!Spending everything he could. Put us in the worse deficit in history. He admits to his mistakes which I think is good...but for the people who do like Bush, they harp on his leading with passion more so than facts! Alot of people have died because of his passion. And out of GWB's best advisors...did none of them have the nuts to say Mr. Bush...maybe we should think this one out for a minute. Nope...Yes sir's all around the room!

I suppose you thought Jim Jones was a great leader too hmmm? How about Charles Manson? Or Adolph Hitler? They all stuck it out till the bitter end too. Worthy of admiration? Not quite. I guess you consider yourself a great revolutionary. How sad.

"Don't you admire GWB for doing what is RIGHT"
That would be nice. Is there a website that gives examples of anything positive Bush has done.
It would be such a refreshing moment for America id we knew something good about Bush.

The fact that Bush has such low opinion poll numbers indicates that he is doing very few things correctly these days. In a sense, if a president, or any politician, was doing what was right, then he would have high approval ratings. Current public opinion, perhaps, is the greatest testament to George Bush's failure as a president in his second term in office.

Yes i do. He is unlike the cowardly members of his own party who are turning their backs on him for political expediency, or the completely clueless democrats who wouldn't know the right thing to do if it jumped up and bit them in the ***

Amen! I was always taught that a good leader does what he feels is right instead of what is popular. While there may be a few issues that I disagree with the President on, he does have my utmost admiration and support for being a principled leader.
