We live in a strange world

[NNN0LHI]

We can have a Republican president who spends 8 years driving our country into the economic ditch with his policies yet some people can be convinced it is the fault of the Democratic president who inherits the mess after being in office less than three years.

If a lazy Republican president allows a terrorist attack killing thousands to happen on his watch, after being repeatedly warned of an impending attack, he is considered a hero and a strong president and everyone loves him. But if a Democratic president actually does something to prevent an attack from happening before one actually does occur he is considered some kind of dirty dog.

And if a Republican has both a recession and a terrorist attack occur on his watch like Bush the Idiot did within months of being in office, well then it is double plus good, and his approval rating will shoot up to +90%.

We live in a strange world full of strange people don't we?

1. yes, we do, Don... I make sure to hammer those facts to all my GOP coworkers, family, and a few

acquaintances/friends that are GOP. I love pointing out how they never once complained about the massive debt B*sh built, until a Democrat and black guy got into the WH! I finally am making way on a couple from Colorado. It's been a long go of it, but they, especially the woman who's a lifetimes GOPer, are starting to acknowledge that the GOP leaders are especially out to protect the rich... They used to send me forwards every week about Obama, and most of it was filled with lies. I'm praying for them, because, like the few other people I know who are Repubs, I cannot believe they are... I guess they just don't delve into the issues enough to understand what they're backing. I got my best friend and his mom to vote for Kerry in '04 after decades of being GOPers (she lovessss Reagan still, bah!) and they haven't looked back. There's hope for all of these confused people, but it just takes one of us to get to educate them...

2. What if?

Our current Democratic President turned a blind eye to what went on before him? He had to know that the previous Administration was involved in crimes against Humanity, war crimes and other such things, but did nothing about it? Our current President is a very astute individual, and as a matter of fact is a Professor of Constitutional law. He campaigned on; "Our Nation is a Nation of Laws" and then turns around and ignores major crimes by previous Administrations. He then turns around and sanctions a hit on an American citizen, that takes a life without due process.

How am I doing so far?

I have said in a number of my posts that he is the only one we have to vote for, but I will be holding my nose when I pull the trigger.

3. Yes we do.

A lot of people here are saying this was a bad day for Obama. I wish there had been a bad day like this for President Clinton with Bin Laden.
