So, how about President Bush railing on Congress for not doing enough to help the American taxpayer through these tough times in the economy? Did he just wake up after the first six years of his administration with the most irresponsible spending in our country's history? It seems as if the Democrats in Congress only have a year to fix what it took the previous Republican Congress and his free signing pen six years to completely mess up...and the Dems hindered by his veto threat every time they try to undo some of the previous damage.
I suppose that he's trying to convince us to reverse the results of the last Congressional election that swung the majority to the Democrats. I'm afraid that "W's" legacy will be that he redefined fiscal irresponsibility and helped to move the Democrats back into power in both houses of Congress and the White House.
I hate to be disrespectful to the President but I truly have no respect for the guy. He's an idiot. I'm embarrassed to say that I actually voted for the guy...but only once. Anyway, I just thought that it was humorous (in a sad sort of way) that W would blame this Congress for our woes and expect that we would of course, believe him.
Sorry for the rant.

It's the temper of the times...no one wants to accept responsibility for the mess we're in and no one is willing to compromise their rigid positions to move forward. I predict that the Republicans will lose the presidency in a landslide, but will hold on to enough of Congress to be able to continue blocking any real progress. "W" in my book stands for "Weasel"...but only because I can't think of anything worse that starts with "W."
ReplyDeleteSad to say I voted for Reagan twice because he said he was going to balance the budget. He then proceeded to run up the biggest deficits ever, until now.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the tax and spend democrats are better at money management than the borrow and spend republicans.
I don't mean to be disrespectful to your President but I think much of the world thinks he's an idiot now.....
