THE WHITE HOUSE’S NEW SPOILED BRAT
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
Simply put:
Bush has no political capital to spend or a united Republican Party to stand behind anymore–when dictating America’s course in Iraq.
The once staunch President is now a lame duck, people. And though he may make enough noise to sound like he’s still got some bite left, the Democrats recent moves on the war funding bills undercuts just how vulnerable Bush is now–compared to 2004.
Bush no longer has the momentum he once had which spelled out his stubborn resoluteness in the face of the reality.
The reality now–for him–is that Congress isn’t going to give him what he wants with no strings attached. That was with the GOP-controlled Congress.
This one’s Democrat.
(And like Pelosi recently said: “There is a new Congress in town, Mr. President.”)
However, Bush’s attempts to lay blame at the feet of the Democrats–if the new funding doesn’t get to the troops in time (when they have until July at the latest–is even more shameful than what the Democrats did to make sure that this latest round of funding came with strings attached.
Crying foul because both the people and Congress wants a marked change in failed war strategies, isn’t the hallmark of a wise and seasoned President of the United States.
It is the sign of a spoiled brat who isn’t getting his way anymore.
And Bush’s latest temper tantrum illustrates just how far out of touch with mainstream America he really is.
Maybe Daddy should spank?
