The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

We’re digging out from snow here in Chicago-land...

  • Apparently “PresidentBush and Iranian President Ahmadinejad use the same kind of logic (a term I use loosely). Today Ahmadinejad called the NIE report that downgraded Iran as a nuclear threat a “declaration of victory” for the Iranian nuclear program. (What. A. Tool. Talk about stirring up a hornet’s nest. Instead of keeping his mouth shut – hard task for him – he has to spout off and get everyone riled up again… and trust me, Bush will use this to up his war-rhetoric. Sigh…)
  • As an attorney, John Edwards knows when to use someone else’s problems to his advantage… and right now he’s using the Clinton-Obama spat to do just that. Will it work? Stay tuned…
  • Speaking of presidential candidates; republican candidate Mitt Romney has fired the landscaping company that does work around his house because they employ illegal immigrants. (Uh-huh… um, Mitt…)
  • WaPo political headline; ‘Nonprofits Become a Force in Primaries’. Crack reporting there guys…
  • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is forging ahead with a $21 billion tax package that includes repealing of tax breaks for major oil companies… naturally, Bush has promised a veto (it IS going after oil companies after all) but Pelosi is committed to getting it done. (Again, signs of balls from the Democrats in Congress… let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come…)
  • And have we mentioned? That former Arkansas Gov., and gop presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee has not heard of the recently released NIE? It’s true; The Politico’s David Paul Kuhn asked Huckabee what he thought of the new NIE, Huckabee’s response? He hasn’t heard of it. We’re talking about a PRESIDENTIAL candidate, who is lobbying to be in charge of this country, and despite the report being constantly in the news this week – the man has not heard of it… at all… come on now people, do we really want another person like this in the White House????

I think its absulutly redicules that President Bush can get away with things like this !!! Hes talking about Iran being a therat to peace, while hes the only one who is making WAR!! I think its dispicable that this man is even still in office. This is the same story that he said about Iraq Nuclear weapons, and non were found, but hey lets go to war anyway! He is the most incompetent person i have ever seen, and i cannot believe that the American Public would apoint someone like him into office and allow him to do and say the things he does. We do not need another war. How about he thinks about the issues in his own Country and stop worrieing about others. He says that Iran is a therat because they know how to make nuclear weapons, so does America what does that make us??? Absulutly redicules that a Leader of such a beautiful and well rounded country can be sooo incompetent and unreasonable!
