Serge - Bush has not had to veto many things because his party controls congress. So no bills come out that he is against.
I disagree with many of the things Bush has done. He has increased gov't spending ( non-military), he shuold have sent US troops into Tora Bora to get Bin Laden, he has mishandled the Iraq situation after the war ( though I think its getting better now).
BUT he is still a leader. He said clearly that he still backs his action in Iraq, and dhe understands that is what people will vote on. He does not flip to the other side minute a posistion becomes unpopular with the population.
Bush is NO Reagan..... or even FDR. But he is a better leade then Clinton & Kerry.

A true leader in the Presidents position can often be spotted by how often he opposes his own party to advance his own agenda. A President who just approves everything his party does is not a leader. He is letting the party lead and is merely their tool, as is this president. (just imho of course)
