W stands for Weak

If you've ever wondered what the W in George W. Bush stands for, it stands for Weak.

How else would you explain when offered the option of two bills that would provide $87 billion for troops Bush would support the one that doesn't require any sacrifice of its constituents?

If Bush was truly a strong leader he would have told his supporters that in a time of war it was not fair to ask only the troops to sacrifice, that they too must help the effort.

Kerry supported the other bill, the one that would have paid for the war effort through higher taxes on those most able to pay. Instead Bush decided he couldn't do that, apparently he was too weak to do so.

Supporters claim that Bush's unwillingness to admit mistakes or ask the rich to help out America is a sign of strength. Instead it is a sign of weakness. A strong leader would lead all Americans into battle, not just send some off to war and then reward those who stayed behind.
