Compassionate Conservatism

Yes I know the war is still not going well (understatement of the decade) but I have actually been rather impressed with President Bush in the past two months. The first term of office was clearly a victory for the far right wing. He put two conservative judges on the supreme court, started a war, fought the EPA, et cetera et cetera et cetera. But the last two months, Bush hasn't been half bad. He has pushed for harder global emission standards by late 2008, he has blasted the Sudanese leaders for their attrocities and pushed for global economic sanctions, he has done more to fight AIDS in Africa then any other president, and might I add that despite still being firm on Iraq, the war has at least made him a bit more modest and cooled his somewhat enormous ego. I'm not one of those liberals who pushes for Bush to do terrible so the Democrats will do better in the next election. I'm an American first and a progressive second. Mr. Bush, keep it going.
