January 2007

WASHINGTON, DC—While President Bush was sharply criticized by some politicians and pundits following Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, not everyone was coming down hard on the leader.

The PIA/GATF released a statement saying it was encouraged by the “significant” proposals put forth by President Bush, according to PIA/GATF President and CEO Michael Makin. He said the association “looks forward to ensuing policy dialogue on important issues like access to affordable health care, energy security and immigration reform.”

I am glad to see that not all of the people of this land has jumped on the anti-Bush band wagon. He isn't the best President we have ever had but he is far from the worst. We need to support him and try not to condem every move that he makes.

Where I agree this should not be a political discussion platform - I find no problem or concern in an industry leader voicing an opinion. To me, this support is especially important at a time when it seems popular to be disagree with President at every turn. My guess is (and it's only a guess) that this business leader would not have found it important to say, had there been the appearance of a sustainable dialog "across the aisle".

I do not understand why we need to use this venue as a vehicle for political support (or lack there of). We need to focus on growing the industry, not polarizing ourselves.

I don't support Bush on his policy at all. It's more of the same and he's made a mess of the Middle East. I thought "of the people, by the people and for the people" means that we do what the people want. Seems the results of the election were clear- he's not doing what the people asked for.

It's great to see someone make decisions based on information searched for from informed & respected leaders instead of just popular opinions,

Nice to hear somebody backing this man. He is doing what is unpopular for right reasons. When we said we were a government of the people for the people, and by the people, I don't think our forefathers thought we were so selfish.
