Illegal Procedure
I always wondered why the press would hound George Bush so on whether or not “he made any mistakes.” They seemed relentless and used every trick in the book to trip him up, yet he wouldn’t say. In his exit he did acknowledge a few but they still seem to need more. Perhaps to validate some perceived failings while they begrudgingly throw some credit his way. Maybe they can’t concieve of a man who would stay so steadfast and unmovable on what he believes is right. Those kinds of morals tend to drive the liberal left nuts.
The truth of the matter may be pretty simple and way too boring for this elitist pack of wolves. Bush was right. He wasn’t backing down from his convictions regardless of how wrong it all seemed at the time.
Just look at his accomplishments that were at one time called mistakes.
Iraq–I believe they just voted for the 2nd time and all the smart people are saying we Won!
Tax Cuts– If you’re in the 10% range would you like to be in the 15%? You will be if they go away.
No child left behind– Scores are up and finally there are consequences for failing schools.
52 weeks of uninterrupted job growth–Not bad considering he inherited a recession from Clinton and had Sept.11th to deal with.
Still the media is not satisfied and would like you to be unsettled as well. You shouldn’t have this love and admiration for a man who doesn’t speak well, who gets dirt under his finger nails on a ‘ranch’; who is this man to connect to the common folk? You people are suppose to believe everything we shovel your way. He’s made mistakes by God and we’re either going to expose them or just make them up! and don’t you dare question us!
Perhaps Obama should’ve ‘watched some film’ on Bush like a football team does BEFORE the big game. He may have seen the tendencies of a confident,courageous man standing by his convictions and that the cold bitter winds of favor are harshest when you turn your head around. He might have picked up on the stoic way in which a leader leads without regard to the rabid fanatics on every side. Doing your laundry in public is not such a great idea and it won’t cleanse you in the eyes of the great unwashed. It creates weakness and weakness creates fear. Enemies see that, opponents smell it. Defeat is the end result.
Only two weeks in and Obama is starting to look unfit, not up to the task at hand, 2nd string at best. Not good when you’re the leader of the free world.
If Obama is to succeed he’d be wise to look at what his predecessor has done and quitely imitate him. Take the ball and make good decisions, move down field. Penalties will stop any drive so play inside yourself. You haven’t won the game yet, you haven’t even scored. It’s a long hard game with no trophies in the end, barely a pat on the back. It’s the same enemies and wolves you face as Bush did. It’s 2nd down and 20 now.
This is where the playbook gets a little thin.
