"I'm a War President" no more?
 
It seems that Bush is getting tired of being the 'war president' as he's crowed about for the last couple of years.  check this out:
 

"CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (Reuters) - After launching two wars, President Bush said on Tuesday he wanted to be a 'peace president' ... With polls showing public support for the war in Iraq in decline, Bush cast himself as a reluctant warrior ... Nobody wants to be the war president. 'I want to be the peace president... The next four years will be peaceful years.' Bush used the words 'peace' or 'peaceful' a total of 20 times."

 
Today's Daily Scribble  (the general link is at the bottom...sorry, the page is screwed up for some reason...) has a cartoon about the whole thing, making the point that nothing seems to catch on that well.  i will offer this suggestion:  the labels of what 'sort' of leader you are work best when you've been a successful leader.
