THIS is the presidency of living dangerously. George W. Bush has dared more, done more, and risked more than any president since Ronald Reagan’s first term. Now in this second term, when most presidents take it easier, Bush is upping the ante again. That is impressive. It is also worrisome-because this administration is failing to take many necessary precautions to protect itself against the risks for which it is volunteering.
Over the past few weeks, Washington has filled up with happy Republicans celebrating the second inaugural. They have seen parties, and musical entertainment, and fireworks. We permanent residents enjoy the fun as much as anyone. But we are also seeing dangers ahead.
