"America’s Leonidas The “immortal” Persians are on the move and Leonidas, King of Sparta, is the man in charge of turning back the murderous horde. Many of the other free nations fail to face the impending doom. Ephalites aids the insatiable Persians, Athens burns. As in Battle of Thermopylae the Persians try to squeeze their illusion of an army through the passage of the twin towers of New York City. “…Today we've had a national tragedy. Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country. …Terrorism against our nation will not stand.” President Bush proceeded to dismantle the cowardice, non-uniformed, alleged warriors that hide behind woman and children of Persia. This presidency has had to overcome many hurdles. Before Hurricane Katrina Hit, President Bush Urged A Mandatory Evacuation. Gov. Blanco: \"…Just before we walked into this room, President Bush called and told me to share with all of you that he is very concerned about the citizens. He is concerned about the impact that this hurricane would have on our people. And he asked me to please ensure that there would be a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans.\ Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin left the motors of safe passage parked in the swirling chocolate waters of Katrina. Hint: Federal troops are not allowed to be deployed in the States without consent of the State’s government. The President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of failure to reform Government Sponsored Enterprises but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk presented by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In fact, Congress rejected President Bush's call more than five years ago to reform the GSEs. Why did congress resist reform? Fannie Mae’s vice-chairman from 1998 to 2003, Jamie Gorelick, was paid $25.6 million. In 2003 alone, Fannie Mae’s CEO, Franklin Raines's compensation was over $20 million. As Barney Frank paraded his male ‘spouse‘ about the halls of Fannie Mae, the President's repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems with the GSEs. The adversarial two party political system is America’s Ephalities. Never before has a President been asked to do so much while being inhibited by an enemy from within his own country. George W. Bush was duly elected President twice by the citizens of the United States. Did that matter to the immature, nanny state seeking socialists who incessantly attacked this President? The envious chirping of these looters demanding private property from anyone more productive than they are is appalling. Their spoiled cries of relief from an ever increasingly complex regulated and legislated world were exploited by an ambulance chasing media. The media, always after the latest sound bite or shock story slant that would hopefully improve their ratings. The more viewers the higher the ratings, the higher the ratings the greater the advertising dollars, the greater advertising dollars the more money for the talking heads. The beat went on while America was trashed. The Matt Lauer’s, Katie Couric’s, and Tom Brokaw’s of the world made millions. Like the Spartan warrior Leonidas, holding back the Persians at Thermopylae, President Bush held fast to his desire to keep Americans safe. As the biased popularity polls show the final score: W 27 Congress 9. Thank you President Bush. With the exception of the outstanding men and women of the U.S. military, you had nothing to work with. wrote:
