I wonder how the transitition will go. I bet Bush really helps Obama,
and gives him "all" of the information he will need to take over the
country. Not pass bunch of trap door policy and leave out important
information about little issues like "AlQueda" and possible threats
to
the country. The Clinton staff was too busy taking the "W"s off of
all
the keyboards, stealing furniture, trashing the offices, and setting
land mines for the incoming administration.

Bush is too good for that, even after listening to the lies of the
DNC
for the last 8 years...

Say what you want, but I bet the Bush staff doesn't spend it's time
stealing the "O"s...
Read Richard Clarke's book "Against All Enemies". The cabinet,
including the National Security Advisor ignored Clarke's numerous
warnings about Al Queda. Clarke was a hold over from the Clinton
administration and as such, treated with disdain. He was the
"Terrorism Czar" and probably knew more on the subject of Al Queda
than anyone else in government.
The focus was Iraq......7 days in office and the administration was
seriously talking about invading and deposing the governemet of Iraq.
This comes from "The Price of Loyalty" about former treasury secretary
Paul O'Neill.
When was Clarke's book written? Was it before or after he was pushed
aside by the Bush admin? Clarke appears to be an opportunist.

O'Neill is/was a twit.


After. It's hard to get people to write these "can you believe this
sh*t" kinds of books if they agree that driving the airplane into the
ground is the best course of action.
O'Neill has a strong resume and did great things at ALCOA, but he didn't
buy the party line and was told by Cheney to step down "for personal
reasons", like all who didn't do/think as told by Bush and Cheney or
rather Cheney and Bush. He also advised that naming Paulson as his
successor was a mistake which has proved true, especially with the (non)
plan for the $700B bailout. No plan and no budget- just gimme this
incredible amount of taxpayer dollars. Incredible.

And we aren't being told who got the damned money.

That really is disgusting. No accountability to the very end.
I don't think any amount of bailout money will fix all the things that are
broken, but if this bailout doesn't at least keep the US from crashing,
everyone that signed it should get fired.


Good write up on printing and injecting lots of money from the government.
