President George W. Bush told the Associated Press that he was disappointed immigration policies weren’t reformed during his tenure, referring to Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

“I’m very disappointed that it didn’t pass,” he said in an interview with correspondents from his home state. “I’m very worried about the message that said, ‘Republicans are anti-immigrant.’”

He continues, saying he wished comprehensive immigration would have been pushed immediately after his re-election in 2004.  This is code for saying he thinks he may have had enough political capital, at that time, to shove a horrible bill down the throats of the American public who overwhelmingly opposed it.

I’m disappointed as well.  I’m disappointed that a Republican, or any president for that matter, would sign bills such as Campaign Finance Reform and Sarbanes Oxley.  I’m disappointed that a president would nominate Harriet Miers for a seat on the Supreme Court. I’m disappointed that hard working Americans received no permanent tax relief.  Finally, I’m disappointed that a Republican president would move his party so far to the left that it is virtually indistinguishable from the democrat party and regret that he didn’t move it left enough.

God help us!
