Bush Administration Card Resignation and Shakeups - New Faces, same Hubris and Failed Policies

I'll give this one bone to George Bush, he is right about one thing and that is that change is needed. But what America needs isn't a superficial change like shuffling the chairs of the bit players, we need the resignation or impeachment of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, for starters. We need a change in the congress, throwing out the bums who passed legislation like the Patriot Act that shredded our Constitutional Freedoms. We need to be out of Iraq, we need a stop to warrentless spying and wiretaps, and we need to treat prisoners of war according to the Geneva conventions even if we could make arguments about their status. America isn't about arguing down to the lowest common denominator, it is about assuming the best and being the best, particularly about things like Human Rights.

I hope the American people see this for the insult that it is. Bush and his cronies are obviously hoping that this superficial change will improve his poll ratings. They must really think the American people are stupid. We don't need a new chief of staff, we don't need a new marketing group to sell us the current poor excuse for policies a new way. Crimes, and yes, there is no other way to describe them, CRIMES that this administration has committed will not go away because of new lackeys being hired. The American People are not going to kiss this dirty, smelly pig no matter what color Lipstick this administration puts on it. We need good policies, good leaders and good government and those ideas and the Bush administration are mutually exclusive.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we cant avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."

Larry Atkins, author of Skewed: A Critical Thinker's Guide to Media Bias
