What do you call a leader with no followers?

...a guy taking a walk.

Tonight we are going to hear President Bush make a plea to the American public to get behind the war effort in Iraq and in doing he will try to paint a rosey picture of what is happening there. He will make his case. Why does it have to be this way? Aren't our elected officials supposed to represent our will? Why is this administration trying to impose their will upon the people?

We do not need a timetable for troops to be brought home. We need a list of real reasons we are in Iraq and how it is making us safer and serving American interests. We also need to have the Iraqi government start footing the bill for our security services; either that, or kick us out. They are a legitimate government after all, time they grow up and start acting like it.
