No Enemy

One thing Bush had going for him after 9/11 was the fact that there was a foreign "enemy" to go shoot and blame for the tragedy. This time there isn't anyone to go fight or blame. Well, maybe he could blame God. But then that would surely turn off his base -- the religious extremists. Can't do that.

And even more unfortunate for him is the people to blame for the poor response time are his own appointees. The sign of a good leader is in the strength of the people he hires. Will the president EVER take responsibility? Will the buck EVER stop at his desk? Doubtful.
