He’s The Decider, not The Doer. Name one success of this two-term administration. Does the name Osama bin Forgotten ring a bell?
The Decider decided to delegate, as usual. He got Dole and Shalala to head a bipartisan blue-ribbon commission. Fret not, you legless warriors and brain-damaged souls. If we can’t fix the system, let’s study it to death.
Bush didn’t address the vets he sent to war, the folks who got the runaround from their government. He didn’t talk with members of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Bush took his USO tour to the American Legion instead.
Why should Bush apologize to the Pat Tillman generation when he can be applauded by the Dole generation?
In speeches, Bush doesn’t inspire as much as he gives cues. To the old timers, Bush said, "We have a moral obligation to provide the best possible care and treatment to the men and women who have served our country." Applause. "They deserve it, and they’re going to get it." More applause.
