Why Bush is Upbeat ...

A lot is being written (and said) about President Bush's upbeat attitude regarding the upcoming midterm elections. Of course, the liberals want you to believe he is out of touch. But the real reason he is showing an optimistic outlook is that he being a leader. Leaders don't have the luxury of letting show it when they are scared, because they know that it will affect everyone else. Think of it this way: How could a volunteer phone caller -- or a volunteer door-to-door worker -- stay positive and keep working hard if even President Bush was conceding the election? People look to leaders during tough times. They must show resolve. He is.
