CONTINUNITY OF ADMINISTRATIONS SEEMS ON DECK IN DC

Why Does Barack Obama FollowThe George W Bush Playbook?

Â

Â

Do the initials C.O.G mean anything to you? That acronym stands for Continuity of Government. We heard about it back in 2001 when Dick Cheney was taken to that undisclosed location just in case the White House went up in smoke  again like it did in 1812 (Reference from the must see new Britfilm, "In The Loop ).  The government s main commitment in times of disaster is preserving itself.  (God forbid that people find out that the country could go on without the government in its present humongus configuration!)

Â

But who would have thunk that C.O.G would morph into C.O.A., (Continuity of Administration)Â Â with the Obamatons building rather than destroying the agendas they inherited?

Â

Everyday brings news of the latest Presidential two-step: one step forward, one and a half steps back. Despite the loonies who denounce him as a Socialist (of the Kenyan variety, no less) the man at the top is about system maintenance more than system change. In policy after policy, he seems to feint left before moving right.

Â

George Bush must be beside himself yukking it up as he smokes his doobies down in Texas, laughing at          how the WHO were once again proven wrong. (He is now being quoted as calling his dog Barney the "son I never had. )
