I agree as well.

My complain is Bush's decisions are based seemly *entirely* on public opinion. He didn't think Rice testifing was important until after the media reamed him for a week. Bush kept moving the Exit date from Iraq earlier and earlier the more soldiers died. A man who makes policy based on opinion polls is not a man to be President. That statement applies to all candidate or officals.
