If the man was merely inept it would be one thing -- can't kick anyone for being stupid -- but he is worse than that in that unlike the typical idiot who is really only a danger to him/herself, Bush holds the fate of millions (if not billions) of other people in his incompetent hands!<BR/><BR/>You say "Enough of the Bush bash"? Au contraire, mon frére. It should -- nay, it must -- continue long after 20-Jan-09 (now less than six months away!). Short of going on trial in The Hague for war crimes, justice will only be served in the aftermath of Bush's Presidency when he has been shamed and embarrassed to the point where he will never leave his Crawford stronghold.<BR/><BR/>In closing this counter-rant -- because in re-reading what I have written, that is about the whole of what it is (but I will publish the comment anyway) -- let me just say that I took heart in what you wrote about Clinton being worthy of your respect because he was your President. Those words were well thought out, and they were correct...Bill Clinton was your President, and being your President was a responsibility he took very seriously and which he performed with great vigor and in the best interests of the whole of the American people. And George W. Bush is my President, too...I just wish that at some point during the 7.5 years he has thus far been in office he had acted as if he thought so too. Whatever micro-constituency the guy is representing, I am clearly not a part of it (and whether you realize it or not, you aren't either).<BR/><BR/>And my absolute final word here? In no way can I be characterized as an Obama supporter or a screaming liberal as result of the views I express here. I actually have yet to decide who I will cast my vote for in November as at this point I find both presumptive candidates to be equally appealing and disconcerting, and I continue to wait for a distinction focus. With Bush, though, all is crystal-clear.K²https://www.blogger.com/profile/17935444601563111839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801353.post-20479030687769912812008-07-26T12:26:00.000-05:002008-07-26T12:26:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.K²https://www.blogger.com/profile/17935444601563111839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801353.post-23154042264208655712008-07-23T19:42:00.000-05:002008-07-23T19:42:00.000-05:00Would it ever be possible for you not to make ever...Would it ever be possible for you not to make every issue about GWB? Can you, just once, get over yourself? Seriously, your constant criticism of things anti-Bush are getting old.<BR/><BR/>K, you're a dear friend and we share a lot of history. Believe it or not, I do appreciate many of your critiques (otherwise, I'd pull a New York Times and just not print them). But enough of the Bush bash. The evil in this world (and region0 did not begin with him and it will not end with him.<BR/><BR/>My points here were strictly about Senator Obama and the danger his election poses. I'm not even bringing up John McCain or anyone else who seeks that office.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, my blog is conservative and while everyone who reads it has a right to an opinion (and it IS welcome), not every issue is in need of Bush bashing. For one thing, he is still my President. For another, as much as I despised Bill Clinton, I would never have vilified him incessantly. I was often at odds towards his policies and administration, but as President, he was still worthy of my respect.<BR/><BR/>The same will hold true of Obama, should he win. I won't like it, but I won't blame the world of problems on just him.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong. There is plenty I disagree with Bush about - especially in recent months regarding Israel. But seriously, dude. You take it to another level.Shaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312584421727801374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801353.post-75250508586021100732008-07-23T19:28:00.000-05:002008-07-23T19:28:00.000-05:00I read this post and found nothing of substance wo...I read this post and found nothing of substance worth commenting on. Of course, as usual, you provide a wealth of opportunities for further Bush shots, but this time around the targets are simply too easy to hit.<BR/><BR/>Aw, heck...I cannot resist. Gaffes=idiocy? Here is my all-time favorite Bushism:<BR/><BR/>"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002<BR/><BR/>And be sure to visit the following website for more laughs: http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushquotes/a/dumbbushquotes.htmK²https://www.blogger.com/profile/17935444601563111839noreply@blogger.com
