I can't wrap my little mind around this

From the CNN website in a column asking readers to comment on the current state of the Bush presidency:

I think he is doing a wonderful job and smiling the entire way. Who protected our country after September 11? Who protects our country today? I think the Democrats should look at their own party that is where the problems lie. There is nothing they can do to discourage our party. Nothing. We are all smiling.

To me this is unbelievable. What are they smiling about?
