Joy?  I wouldn't call it that.  There is some "I told you so" there, but I 
take no joy in it.

Why were you passionate and why are you upset?

Tell us some of those stories.

I'm not happy that Bush is failing.  I wanted him to succeed!!  He wanted 
to go after terrorists and defend America and I was all for it.  The 
extent to which he would drop the ball was gradually revealed to me and, 
of course, I had to take a firm position against him.  By the time of the 
2004 election, I was quite adamant about Bush being a bad President, but 
that wasn't the case in 2001.

Mike
