If a GOP President had killed bin Laden, doubled the Dow, saved the auto industry, and

.... they'd be carving his bust into Mount Rushmore as we speak.

turning the victories into defeats. but, it would never happen anyway.. the gop was too busy tanking the economy, starting a war with Iraq, and shouting to all as loud as their big mouths would let them that.. DETROIT SHOULD GO BANKRUPT.

... with some punk's baby when Clinton was running, like Palin's daughter was? Can you imagine the outrage from the Right? But no, they acted like (whatever her name is - I try to pay ZERO attention to the Palins) was some kind of Holy Vessel.

The last Republican president with the temperment and belief system to accomplish things like that was Eisenhower.


And his whole family is voting for Obama.
