And the walls came tumblin' down...

The Bush administration is scrambling. With a plunging approval rating, and attacks within his own party, the president is in trouble.

Part of me, as an anti-Bushie, wants to rejoice. But the other part, the patriot and American, is sad. Sad, because I believe that, as the elected leader, the president should have the support of the citizens whenever possible. And sad, because this president has done nothing to improve the well-being of the nation, but done many things to destroy it.

With a tax cut that primarily benefits the wealthy, a war that WE started, for the first time in the history of the nation, an inability to defeat the true enemy, terrorism, a hiring pattern of rewarding loyalty instead of competence, and a single-minded determination to destroy the environment, there is little or nothing about this president that I don't find embarrassing.

About the only thing I find I like about this president is that his kids act like normal kids.

I am sure he is a congenial, nice person to meet. But so is my postal carrier, but I don't think that alone qualifies him to be president.

I am so afraid for this nation right now. Afraid that the current people in power, in all branches of the government, will so abandon the good of the country as to become irreparable. Afraid that the people will continue to ignore what's happening, and not stand up and demand that the elected officials whose salaries we pay be held accountable for abandoning the good of the country.
