We finally here from the head cheese today. President Bush speaks out on the Amnesty International report comparing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay to the Soviet gulag. Our fearless leader once again proved his views and ways are right and the rest of the world is well…just plain old wrong:

“It’s absurd. It’s an absurd allegation. The United States is a country that promotes freedom around the world.”

President Bush also could not refuse the opportunity to chime in about a conviction handed down in the Soviet Union against former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Is it hypocritical that George would also be in support of a fellow oil tycoon?
Now we are seeming to doubt the legal and judicial systems of other countries. Funny how he finds it necessary to comment on this charge and not the one of Schapelle Corby, the Australian (remember Australia, a member of our coalition of the willing against Iraq) who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Indonesia for smuggling marijuana, a case that has Australia in an uproar.

The simple fact that George would spend the time commenting on the jail sentence and never wants to comment on our declining economy shows this lame-duck president has only one thing on his mind – the actions of other nations. Wake up George, we are still stuck with you for another 3 1/2 years and if you want any credibility to your name when your gone, now is the time to act and address problems here and not ones abroad.
