Dems - Boxed in
Is W back? The President's message on Iraq is finally getting through, thanks to straight talk and his recent acknowledgements that war is costly, he knows it, he appreciates the consequences of his decisions, and that he wouldn't change very much of what he's done.
Bravo to the White House for turning the debate on the Democrats; John Podhoretz puts it best: "President Bush graciously gave his critics their proper due -- even as he was putting them in a strategic and ideological box from which they will not be able to escape." Today Bush stayed on message, sticking it to Dems who fillibustered the Patriot Act and the phony wiretap "scandal." Writes CJ alum Flip Pidot: "what impressed me about the back-and-forth was Bush's ability (and willingness) to smack down or sidestep all the flawed premises, poisoned wells, and loaded questions that saturated the press corps' barrage."
Word. Bush sounds more like the President I voted for - compassionate but unapologetic; the Dems sound more and more like the ACLU.
