THE BUSH PRESIDENCY: A PARTY OF…UH…? WHERE IS EVERYONE?
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
Don’t blame yourself if you don’t watch Bush’s “State of Denial” speech tonight about how we must continue to surge ahead and “stay the course” no matter what in Iraq.
Don’t blame yourself if you don’t watch Bush’s “101 Domestic Agenda Failures” speech tonight on how we must cut back on Medicare, Medicaid, education, healthcare, child care, and so many other programs–just so we can spend billions more for a failed war which could’ve revitalized our country’s sagging social infrastructure on so many levels. (But who really needs healthcare these days, right?)
Don’t blame yourself if you don’t watch Bush’s “10 Ways To Screw America out of its Energy Independence” speech tonight on how we must cut back on our oil consumption by 20%–by boosting ethanol-based gasoline derivatives–thus shaving off 8.5 billion gallons of gas over the next ten years. (We use about 54.5 billion gallons every year. So don‘t blame us, blame the GOP‘s “fuzzy math bunnies” on this one.)
With his poll numbers bumping up against Nixon’s for the worst Presidential showing ever, a Republican revolt in the making inside Congress, and an entire nation united against him for the first time since 9-11, the President is not only reduced to a pitiful excuse for a Commander-in-Chief, but now it seems as though he is also reduced to talking to himself whenever he feels the urge to speak to the nation.
Everything he says is just recycled rhetoric, and no matter what Bush does or says, the American public just tunes him out.
Just goes to show: When you cry wolf one too many times, people tend to stop listening.
