This sends me and I aim to **** and moan right back at the idiots who've prejudged everything Obama has done without seeing any results. Some of us can read a road map. We don't need to be there to recognize the ultimate destination. Eisboch You were silent when Bush drove this country over a cliff. Not so. I voted for Bush over Gore in his first term election, and I certainly didn't vote for Kerry. However, as events evolved, I think I expressed disappointment with many of Bush's policies and decisions. I even admitted that I didn't think he was the brightest bulb in the draw. I still don't buy all the "lying to get us into a war" rhetoric though. There is plenty of evidence that Congressional leaders in both parties were convinced of a potential threat by Iraq, even before Bush. That history cannot be changed. Those that sounded the battle cries and then changed their mind later are all forgiven by the left. Those who had to make the decisions are held accountable and therefore get all the blame. I even offered comments of respect for Obama, both pre and post election. I thought he would be especially good for the country in the repair of global relations matters. Still do, to a degree. But his domestic social and economic ideas and policies disturb me greatly, and the more he talks the more disturbed I become. Radical changes are being pushed that go beyond fixing greed, dishonest companies, banks or Wall Street. Those issues should be addressed and fixed, but not at the cost of changing the basic social and economic structure of the country. So, I don't preach the latest round of political talking points like you. I think for myself. Eisboch |
