In The Cafferty File today, we asked viewers:
How will the Libby guilty verdict impact the Bush White House?Jack, It won't make much difference, just one less tick on the dog… the others are burrowed deep and will make it until the term is up!
George, Fort Worth, TexasThe verdict will embarrass the Bush White House to the point that Bush and Cheney will be under constant watch by the Democratic Congress. This could potentially bring more investigations and possible impeachment of both Bush and Cheney.
Josh, Sylvania, OhioPresident Bush will have to pardon him or risk Mr. Libby working a plea bargain by giving up the Vice President and Mr. Rove. It won't hurt the President politically; his approval rating can't go much lower.
Allen, Mountain Home, IdahoThe administration will continue to dance around the truth, but with a lot less effectiveness.
Corrine, Stockton, CaliforniaDoes it mean anything if Senator Barack Obama is triggering a lot of interest overseas?So much of the president's job is foreign policy that it's important that our leader is well-liked overseas. Global perception of the U.S. is underrated, and the importance of good relations with other countries is often overlooked
Alexander, Washington, D.C.Obama's popularity in Europe is irrelevant. Bush is hated there but it hasn't saved us from him.
Ann, CaliforniaInterest in Obama and in Clinton indicates that people abroad are distinguishing the U. S. from the policies of the Bush administration that have displeased so many abroad. It indicates that there is hope for a different U. S. when there is a different leadership.
Eric, Portland, MaineHopefully, future American foreign policy will be on more sound footing, and based on truth. However, even in such a case, we'll always fare better with a "little help from our friends." True leadership can be judged if people and countries want to follow our president's ideas.
Harriet, Ronkonkoma, New YorkIs another government commission the answer to problems at the nation's Veterans Administration hospitals?V.A. hospitals in general have been in decline for years and it's only now that we finally wake up to the raw deal veterans, returning home from a trumped-up war, get for their troubles. Another commission? I think we need a commission to decide if this American president should be impeached for his disgraceful leadership of our country.
Lori, Brunswick, MaineAnother commission? Isn't that what we always get, politicians scrambling to save their political necks from the latest backlash of their own incompetence and apathy toward the American people?
Bill, Cleveland Heights, OhioJack, I mostly agree with your opinion of presidential commissions. They are worthless. This is totally true as far as U.S. citizens and the victims of problem situations are concerned. However, commissions are very useful as a diversion for the administration.
Harold, Depoe Bay, OregonAnytime someone wants to do a study or appoint a commission, it's a pass-the-buck proposition and these guys are damn good at passing that buck.
Tom, Lansford, Pennsylvania
