President Bush is Awesome

Okay, so it took me about 7 years to finally come to accept the fact that President Bush is our, er, President, but I never thought the day would come where I would RESPECT him.

Well, that day is here, my friends.

After reading these newly released articles, I have to say this: President Bush is Awesome.

A middle-of-the-roader with a penchant towards liberalism, I never really agreed with anything Bush said or thought or supported. Most of the time it was because he never made much sense to me, but as of today, all that changed.

Apparently, there's an upset in Washington over nominated Attorney General Michael Mukasey. Senator Kennedy thinks the guy is a total dick - isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? - and staunchly refuses to support the nomination, a sentiment that has echoed through the hallowed halls of the largely Democrat-ic Capitol.

Why's Kennedy so pissed? Well, besides the fact that his doctor halted his Vicodin prescription refills, he's angry that Mukasey has laterally avoided questions on the practice of "waterboard" interrogation - a method of questioning that simulates drowning to force sources to divulge information.

Bush responded to this. And mind you, this is only part one of why I am suddenly a SUPER HUGE Bush fan. Here's what he said, in a surprisingly tact and sensible reply:

"It's wrong for congressional leaders to make Judge Mukasey's confirmation dependent on his willingness to go on the record about details of a classified program he has not been briefed on."

THEN he said:

"It doesn't make any sense to tell an enemy what we're doing," which pretty much, to me, sounds just like: "Thanks, jerk, for telling the world what we're doing to get information. Big help to the country there, chief."

AWESOME.

It doesn't stop there. THEN, President Bush "reminded" the Democrats that "We're at war" and compared their focus tactics to the like of the days of the Lenin era/Cold War and Hitler - citing Congress' indifference to forcibly evil men who had the ability to destroy the world. He said:

"Unfortunately, on too many issues, some in Congress are behaving as if America is not at war...When it comes to funding our troops, some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and the requests of our commanders on the ground and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters."

Awesome. Thank you. Mr. President, you are the best.
