No great gift of prevision was required to see that Republicans would take the blame. It is however grossly unfair that the very people who in Congress who 3 years ago were actively ignoring and covering up the ticking time bomb got rewarded last night because they were fortuitous enough to have it blow up on a Republican president's watch. Where Bush has gone completely and unforgivably wrong is in his handling of the federal budget and in his inability to articulate a positive sustaining vision during the tough times. It's like he tuned out completely after Katrina and the botched Meyers nomination, and other than leading on the surge he was just trying to coast his last couple years into the sunset. And he has paid dearly for it, as have those of us who supported him in thick and thin, and so be it. Also, I'm not a loser, sour or otherwise. :) Contrary to your belief perhaps, I have never invested the essence of my identity or being in a politician or party, so when they go down in flames for whatever reasons, just or unjust or both, all I can do is keep on doing what I do well and wish the best for everyone. Every fiber of my being at the moment is alarmed like never before by the cult of personality around Obama and the enormous question marks over his actual worldview, versus his lofty campaign rhetoric, as juxtaposed against his already proven dishonesty (FISA, public financing, taking shady donations with impunity, etc.). These question marks are now exclamation marks, considering the nation and the world has put their whole hope and faith in a 44 year old unknown with a slick money machine and a cast of controversial characters behind him. I can only hope the office changes the man for the better, instead of feeding on his seemingly boundless narcissism and sense of entitlement, which got an enormous validation yesterday that can boost him to heights of greatness, or depths of corruption. We'll see soon enough. - Bob > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
