Better than Dubya's where Bush has delegated authority so much that noone is held responsible for anything.
The buck stops at the presidents desk. If Gore ran and won the nomination, I would vote for him over Bush any second.
If economy is the issue, I would rather run on Clinton/Gore's record than Bush's
Bush knew that he was incapable of running the country by himself and thus created a cabinet that could effectively help make all the decisions. He's smart enough to do this. Gore was not even smart enough to accept Clinton's offer to help
This is why he will lose and lose miserably. He is not a team player and he will never admit when he is wrong, plus his little tantrum st the end of the elections
What's so great about Bush's delegating? Foreign policy hijacked by the neocons in the DOD? Tom Ridge? Ashcroft? Intelligence failures of 9/11 and Niger Uranium?
Has anyone been held accountable for anything in Bush administration?
Delegating is what good leaders do. Look at any good CEO and you will see that he/she is surrounded by people who are just as smart, if not smarter. You have people around you to complete what you lack because there isn't a single person on earth that is an expert at everything. That's the point of a cabinet, so the President doesn't have to stay up 18 hours/day trying to figure everything out himself. As for 9/11, I don't know how you can blame Bush. He was in the office for < 1 year. It would have taken at least a year to plan that, which means that the intelligence was collected during the Clinton administration.
It's easy to start throwing blame around and blaming the guy currently in office, but you seem to think that the president should be a miracle worker or something. You have to pick your battles. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
I think Bush is great and here is why:
1. He is guided by what he thinks is right and wrong. I will use Clinton as a comparison. Clinton had no sense of right or wrong. He was only interested in his political career. Everything he did seemed to do was a show for the cameras. Bush doesn't care about the cameras. His political career may have been hurt by the war, but he did it because he thought it was the right thing to do. I admire someone who takes a stand for what they believe in.
2. He surrounds himself with smart people. As I mentioned earlier, this is important. You need people around you to tell you what is going on and to give you good advice.
However, I do not agree with his domestic terrorism policies. They go too far. He isn't perfect and there are some policies that I don't agree with, but he seems to be doing well. I will probably vote for Bush again.
********************
As for Gore, I don't think he would have a shot at all no matter what. I would never vote for him after what he pulled after losing the election. Asking for a single recount is acceptable because I would like accurate results, but when he started trying to change the law in his favor, suing, and asking for recount after recount after recount, I lost 100% faith in him and I'm sure many other did as well.
) just want to know if you think he should jump back into the game. ALot has happend since December when he said he wouldn't run.....
