You’ve got to check out this article from the Washington Post. It presents a compelling case on the performance of our president. It's titled "Bush the Incompetent".
For a while now I have been saddened and disappointed in our American public's complacent attitude as this man mischaracterizes, stonewalls, makes end runs around the constitution and mired us in this oh-so-poorly conducted "war". Even after disaster upon disaster happens in Iraq, as the toll on our young men and women continues to grow, we sit around and shrug and say to ourselves "Oh well, however unpleasant, there just isn't an alternative".
And, when the pitifully small percentage of media people who work up the cajones (little shriveled ones) timidly question his statements, the ethics issues that still threaten to overrun his presidency, the debacle after Katrina, the prescription drug plan (the infamous Medicare Part D) that debuted to near catastrophic results on the elderly sick, the stonewalling and all the rest, he knows that he has but to bring out his old reliable "national security" umbrella, and all the worrisome troublemakers go away.
When you really think about it, most people just don't have the time to look into these things on their own, what with the demands of work and family. So they have to evaluate bush based on little or no factual information. They're so busy living their lives, they won't notice the damage being done until the effect shows up on their doorsteps. Of course by then it may be too late.........
If you can find the time, read the article. Here's the link:
