The balance of power is gradually tipping.

We need followers who are engaged and supportive, not just resistant.

It's somewhat unfair to accuse a president who generally works very hard ... for taking five weeks off. It's not as if Bush is sitting on a recliner.

The Bush administration has been charged from the start with being cavalier about democracy. The tension between on the one hand protecting our democratic privileges and on the other hand trying to protect the American people is one we've had with us from the start.

He really does need to reinvent his team.

I see a world on the edge of a blade. Without balance, it will fall.
