Bush did not learn or want to assimilate the lessons of John Bolton’s unanimous rejection as our representative in the UN last fall by sneaking him through in the last congressional recess. Now he does exactly the same thing all over again with a new swift boat hack and awards him with an ambassadorship to Belgium. At least he is loyal to his base. But just imagine the kind of people he is placing in embassies around the world, God forbid they were for real.
He also has shown contempt with his singing statements which by now they have become abusive and ridiculous and all to disavow the rule of law. Everything he does is in absolute contempt of our system of checks and balances, or what some may call “Democracy”. In his cowboy politics, it’s his way or you are the enemy; aiding and abating the terrorist; unpatriotic, etc… He does not even have respect for people of a co-equal branch of government, Congress, which is elected (unlike him) by the people. He has made, and continues to make a Mock-ery out of Democracy.
So how can someone like that, pretend to be a 1) leader, 2) a president when he finds himself constantly under the most tremendous and scandalous constitutional calamities, and still lie in contempt and defiance. With virtually zero credibility at home and abroad? And still come out on fund raisers. He has no shame.
But if you read any of the blind sighted right wing newspapers, radio or TV shows that have overtaken our country like a mushroom cloud, they say “darn Pelosi what the hell do you think you’re doing going to Syria, and establishing diplomatic relations?”, which our president is supposed to do but is too busy making enemies all over; “Nancy who the hell do you think you are going it alone, not asking anyone if you could/should go?” they’re even trumping her trip and calculating how much WE – the taxpayers – are spending on her trip. Imagine that! The right wing nut jobs are pretending to understand chain of command, accountability and how much politicians are costing us e-v-e-r-y minute. Has anyone seen how much this "War”/Occupation/Invasion/Racketeering based on lies (irrefutable) on Iraq is costing us ALL? The latest figure was $4700 per year for every single one of us!! (and that is a conservative figure. Conservative in the real sense to conserve, not like the pseudo-CONservatives).
“We represent the American people’s views on this failed war,” Senator Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, said in his home state, Nevada, where he toured a National Guard complex. Mr. Reid released a statement that said: “The president’s policies have failed, and his escalation endangers our troops and hurts our national security. Neither our troops nor the American people can afford this strategy any longer.”It surely has been a Very expensive mistake in the last six years.
Back to the advantages of a reckless “leader”… Even in the Bible, which the Republicans claim to have the monopoly on, says:
Matthew 23:12
“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Mark 10:43
“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,”
LUKE 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.”
Most leaders, natural or learned, first they demonstrate that they have talked the talk and walked the walk. Just like a parent who expects a child to follow the example. In this case it’s kind of having Jimmy Hendrix stand in front of a pulpit giving mass. In the same way George W. Bush has a track record of breaking every law possible and of total recklessness, and using the name of God in vane (to make things worse).
So in this context of recklessness, the Democrats have the most valuable asset. They can do just about anything they want to, impeach or hold Bush accountable in any way shape or form without any fear of being accused of wrongdoing. Bush is his worst enemy. He does not have any credibility and even though the media keeps wiping up his messes and covering them up again and again, he knows and we know who he is. Bush has established a precedent for any politician, to do as they please. But if our president does not obey the rules of the land why should anyone else? Including people in Congress, elected officials, people in Iraq or even regular citizens like you and me? This is just a rhetorical question since most of us in this nation have a far greater sense of morality and integrity than George W. Bush and all his minions (including the main stream media puppets).
The bar cannot be any lower; there cannot be any more damage done to our reputation as the leader of the free world. Not unless the media refuses to be a government outlet.
