Give ’em hell, Dubya

It isn’t popular and that’s why someone needs to do it. Stand up for President Bush. And VDH is just the guy to do it. Like him, I could wish, however, for a more forceful defense of Dubya’s wartime and other policies by the president himself: April’s 5 percent unemployment was lower than March; more than 95 percent of mortgages are not in foreclosure; 0.6 percent growth is not a recession; the stock market is sky-high; and the Maliki government finally is moving the Iraqi government in the right direction. The arguments are on your side, George.
