From a reader:

Jonah:

I wasn’t going to watch Bush, but the Wizards are getting killed.  One thing really strikes me — every time Bush make a thematic statement, the Democrats grudgingly applaud.  They only sit silent at specific policy prescriptions.  I find it interesting that they will not openly opppose his (admittently semi-conservative) goals, only his methods.  I am beginning to think that they are in a difficult position.
