STINKIN' TERM LIMITS:
Holy Cows: George W Bush - buffoon or great leader?: Sameh El-Shahat argues that George W Bush has been the most under-rated president... ever. (Sameh El-Shahat, 08/07/2008, Daily Telegraph)
Bush may not have the slickness of his predecessor, but he is a man you can trust and who prefers to tell it like it is.This is refreshing, and very scary for us who are used to our politicians always talking grandly about principles and hiding behind political mumbo-speak.
The fact is you guys hate Mr Bush because he is not a hypocrite and you are used to hypocrites as your leaders. We hate what we don’t understand.
Yes, yes, all you bleeding heart liberals are cringing out there. I can just hear you. But the fact is, Mr Bush has had to take some very tough decisions and the world needs people who can not only talk but also act tough and admit mistakes.
Of course you think Mr Obama is going to make a difference, but as I write this, he’s already giving all the signs of somebody who will say anything to get into power only to act in exactly the same way as the Washington clique he aims to replace!
Hating George W. Bush is not only dull and unoriginal, but it shows a complete lack of understanding of the world in which we live in.
You want liberty but you don’t want to defend it... right.

This El-Shahat fellow doesn't know much about James Knox Polk, does he?
