[HARDCORE]

I was quick to point out what I felt to be ?SHOWBOATING" on the part of the President when he landed aboard that carrier perched inside a Navy jet after (?) Gulf War II! And I certainly raised hell over his $2000 a plate fundraiser in San Diego, or the use of taxpayer recourses, including Air Force I, for political fundraising! However, the move by Bush against ?Partial Birth Abortion?, as well as making a three hour stop in Bali, certainly displays grit on the part of Numero Uno!!

Bali, as you may recall, was the site of a horrendous bombing, and security there, even though heavy for the Presidential visit, still left much to be desired, considering the nature of the place! ?Of course it must be noted that safety anyplace, for anyone, is no longer a given!??

What is a given, however, is giving credit where credit is due, and Bush?s stop at "Heavily Moslem Bali", at this point in time, definitely deserves credit in my opinion!
