Salon: "the president predicting he will win in November because..."
...his administration has improved the economy and bolstered national security."

http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2004/08/04/davenport/index.html

"The other folks talk a good game. We deliver," the president told thousands of cheering supporters on the banks of the Mississippi River in a state he narrowly lost four years ago.

"This time we're going to carry it," Bush said.

Bush cited the state's relatively low jobless rate, 4.3 percent in June, which has consistently been below the national average, which was 5.6 percent in June. He said that since his presidency began, he has opened up markets overseas for Iowa farmers and has lowered their taxes. "I have made the success of Iowa farmers and ranchers a priority, and America is better off for it," the president said. Bush said his efforts in the war on terrorism, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, have "made America safer."

4. Those eyes appear to be extremely serene, as if he were being told
something he was expecting.

9. Yes, I see the horror too, but behind the horror I see a serene landscape
as if in his brain he had known what was coming and was expecting it.

7. Utterly brazen. He is a joke.

The other guys talk a good game? Bush sold us what he told us was safety from WMD and al Qaeda threats to the tune of almost a thousand lives and $200 billion dollars. Then he delivered a shaky old man, international disgrace, war profiteering by Halliburton, and a generation of quagmire.

Delivered!! He delivered!!

15. Bush delivered BS is all.
He was supposed to protect us with diligence and wisdom...

instead we got arrogance and loloism....oops ..9/11

He was supposed to watch our National purse strings....oops, 850 billion $$ Deficit, 7.5 Trillion Nat Debt

He was supposed to make our America cleaner and better, oops,
environmental law/codes roll back.

He was supposed to make more jobs. oops, lost 1.5 million net over 3 years.... the Clinton years added 25 million new jobs over 8 years.
