That's exactly what Charlotte, NC resident Harry Taylor told president Bush in front of a live audience yesterday during one of Bush's "open-forum" events.

"In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of my leadership in Washington,...And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself."  Taylor told Bush after rattling off a litany of grievances.

"Bush responded only to Taylor's complaint about warrantless eavesdropping. "You said, would I apologize for that?" he said. "The answer is absolutely not."

"The dialogue interrupted a love fest here in a state Bush carried in both elections."

Give him hell Harry!

He does speak for me too and many (most?) Americans.  Some staffer is going to lose their job for not screening hard enough :)
