The Bully President

The Bully President is at it again!

  The problem as I see it is that Bush has had time to regain his composure after the election and resume his usual bully attitude. Several recent TV appearances have shown this to be true. Just after the election when many republicans lost their seats in the Senate and Congress, President Bush was stunned and repentant. The turnout of the elections stunned him. He became contrite and dropped his bully attitude. Since that time he has tested the waters and once again has resumed his bully attitude mainly because congress has at least for now not stood up to him and insisted that he change his ways, or else.
  We all should be aware that once a bully regains his vice-grip on the situation and his minions once again regain their composure knowing that they will not be threatened because they once again are under his protection will continue to punish us unmercifully.
  Those who won office must not loosen their grip and let this bully slip out of their grasp. If they do then it will be back to his old tricks and we will have to start all over again to regain the power we thought we had. We must continue to be forceful in our desires. If we want to get out of Iraq and if we want peace in the Middle East, we need to keep pounding the gavel insisting that congress and the senate stay the course and force the conservatives to back off. This is not the time to back down under the pressure of the rank and file technocrats under Bush’s control.
  The problem is we have the attitude that “We Won” so now we can sit back and enjoy the victory. WRONG. We need to be ever vigilant and maintain the pressure to change the mistakes we have made in the past. We haven’t won, the battle is still before us and we must persist. We must face the fact that Bush is a bully and he got us into this mess, now it is our turn to get us out of it. Ain’t that the truth?
