Give it a rest, Mr. President
President Bush is building his legacy, adding
another unfortunate line of hollow bravado to his rhetorical
repertoire.
President Bush is building his legacy, adding
another unfortunate line of hollow bravado to his
rhetorical repertoire. To “Mission accomplished,” “Bring it
on,” “Wanted: Dead or alive,” and of course, “I earned
… political capital, and now I intend to spend it,” he has added
“I’ll see you at the bill signing,” referring to his own
ill-considered push for so-called comprehensive immigration reform
legislation.
Bush emerged from a midday meeting with Republican senators on Capitol Hill to declare, “We’ve got to convince the American people this bill is the best way to enforce our border.”
No, Mr. President, someone you trust and respect must convince you that kind of tortured reasoning should never be exposed before cameras and microphones. Isn’t there anyone in this administration with the guts to say, “Give it a rest, Mr. President”?
Overdue.
