I am the Decider...words of the President !

"I hear the voices and I read the front page and I know the speculation," the president said, answering a reporter's question after his announcement about Portman's nomination. "But I'm the decider and I decide what's best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."

Ya gotta love this guy, Bush keeps on trucking as a Leader should.

"I AM THE DECIDER"...heck of a coach...heck of a team...go team go...

"Decider" has been in the English language for some time now, although I believe Bush Jr. is the first president to utter it publicly. I'm more worried about the voices he hears. [&:]

Oh, and he's go about house cleaning the right way--and that includes keeping Rumsfeld in the Pentagon. I don't know why people spend more time talking about his personality than they do his capability to successfully restructure the U.S. military into an increasingly compact, highly mobile, effective global strike force.

Indeed Aught Six, Bush has faith in Rumsfield but I also wonder, what do you think Rumsfield's next move is?

I think he's going to continue leading the military in Iraq while he restructures the Department of Defense. I expect him to remain through 2008. I imagine Iran is weighing heavy on his mind at the moment. He takes his job seriously, and I doubt he could walk away from it voluntarily.

I can see it all now. There he is after shaving in the morning looking at that Howdi Doody face in the mirror...gives a little wink and says to the image I am the Decider.

You too can be the Decider some day. All you need is votes.
