What is the true state of George W. Bush's grimly imposed American reality? Indeed, what is the State of the Delusion?
George W. Bush would have been well served if he had packed in his notes and left the chamber immediately following the words, "Madam Speaker." Sadly, however, he did not stop there. But then again, good judgment has never been this President's calling card.
And really, what more needs to be said about the annual ritual that has become George W. Bush's State of the Delusion? Indeed, what more could possibly be said that he hasn't all ready said, in one form or another, on at least 100 previous occasions? In other words, most of what the President had to say wasn't exactly new or newsworthy.
Since the President's last State of the Delusion speech, most of the changes aren't really related to anything he had to say. This past November the Democratic Party swept both Houses of Congress. Apparently though, just like before the election, Mister Bush has been in denial over this new political reality. He continues to behave as though Congress exists simply to rubberstamp whatever decisions he makes. To put it bluntly Mister Bush hasn't figured out yet, that he really isn't 'The Decider' ...........
Enough said. You can read the whole article yourself.
"The World Agrees: Stop Him" by Robert Scheer, Truthdig
Stop him before he kills again. That is the judgment of the American people, and indeed of the entire world, as to the performance of our president, and no State of the Union address can erase that dismal verdict.
President Bush has accomplished what Osama bin Laden only dreamed of by disgracing the model of American democracy in the eyes of the world. According to an exhaustive BBC poll, nearly three-quarters of those polled in 25 countries oppose the Bush policy on Iraq, and more than two-thirds believe the U.S. presence in the Middle East destabilizes the region.
In other words, the almost universal support the United States enjoyed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks has been completely squandered, as a majority of the world’s people now believe that our role in the entire world is negative.
"The State of the Union" New York Times Editorial
The White House spin ahead of George W. Bush’s seventh State of the Union address was that the president would make a bipartisan call to revive his domestic agenda with “bold and innovative concepts.” The problem with that was obvious last night — in six years, Mr. Bush has shown no interest in bipartisanship, and his domestic agenda was set years ago, with huge tax cuts for wealthy Americans and crippling debt for the country.
Only people with no brains or on hallucinogens like what Bush had to say, or believe him.
OPPS, I forgot, the $people$ who pay his party like what he had to say.
