What Makes Bush so Great

David Limbaugh writes an article today, repeating the great mantra of the conservatives about 2004, particularly now that we have Saddam Hussein. This election will be about foreign affairs, and the American people trust President Bush to do a good job. He then describes why President Bush is the best of the bunch.

"What makes President Bush the best wartime leader are his moral clarity, his decisiveness, his willingness to confront evil in the world, and his determination to place America's security and the American people's safety above his political interests. Try as they might, bluster as they will, none of the Democrats has a chance of convincing the voters they are better equipped in this department."

Did President Bush display Moral Clarity when he allowed his staff to out Valerie Plame for crass political revenge? Is he showing Moral Clarity in seeking the perpetrator of that crime?

President Bush does have Decisiveness. For example, he Decided that Tax Cuts were the answer. No matter the question posed by the economy, he prescribed one solution; Tax Cuts. Invading Iraq is another example of this Administrations ability to decide and stick to that decision no matter what the evidence supported.

President Bush's willingness to confront evil has us facing a warning from the Department of Homeland Security that Al-Queda might have trained pilots flying our airplanes.

As for his determination to put the security of the American People over his own political future, well, let's just say I'm dubious. We all remember that Mission Accomplished Flight Jacket story. Do you remember the bit about how they had to send the boat back out to sea so that President Bush would have to fly out? Of course that picture turned out to have problems, so they had to get a new one. Hence Bush's trip out to the troops on Thanksgiving. Yep, I'm sure it warmed all our hearts to see the President carrying around a prop turkey, particularly after the risky flight (although the administration did lie about running into a British Airways plane).

Anyway, remember this; this election will be all about terrorism and President Bush, for reasons passing understanding, is apparently trustworthy.
