There has always been something about Republicans and their circling the wagons around the younger George Bush.But you would think that even the “fiscally conservative” members of America’s right would cut their loses when it comes to Bush’s economic performance. Instead they have constantly defended him and even attempted to rewrite history making the current […]
Following up on my earlier post about the Republicans not worrying about the deficit if it helps the rich, I decided to post this little graph. It really puts a perspective on the current budget deficit and who is ultimatley responsible for it. Fareed Zakaria, writing an article entitled “Raise My Taxes, Mr. President!” in […]
We saw it after Ft. Hood and now we are seeing it again – a Republican Party that cares nothing about actual terrorism, but rather playing politics with it. A perfect example of this is Mary Matalin, who said on CNN yesterday that Bush “inherited” the 9/11 attacks. Inherited to the point that Bush ignored […]
There is so much damage control to be done from eight years of total incompetence running our country that we end up forgetting where all the broken pieces are. Well Barack Obama hasn’t forgotten and he is working to fix them. One big piece is FEMA: The Federal Emergency Management Administration, a tragicomic disaster […]
Here is another fine choice for Secretary of State Obama is considering: Eyewitness News 4 has learned Gov. Bill Richardson met with the Barack Obama transitional team Friday in Chicago about a possible position as Secretary of State. Richardson, the former secretary of energy in the Clinton administration, is considered a top contender for secretary […]
I been watching this debate on ABC and it is by far the worse ever. First half was no policy questions at all – just made up controversies by the media. ABC, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos should be publicly flogged for it. I think it’s also weird that Stephanopoulos is a moderator. He was […]
That is awesome news. I would love to see Richardson as a running mate. They could use his past record of keeping oil prices low during the Clinton administration and people would love it.
Well it turns out that happened because the Bush White House decided to scrap a working archive system President Clinton put in to install their own: For years, the Bush administration has relied on an inadequate archiving system for storing the millions of e-mails sent through White House servers, despite court orders and statutes requiring […]
Not the person who told us about WMD’s in Iraq and constantly said the smoking gun for Iraq would come as a “mushroom cloud”. Certainly not the person who told Americans yesterday that they never received any information from the Clinton administration or Richard Clarke on the Osama threat. Oh wait. Damn those archives of […]
Of course it is only back up tapes of the email system: The White House has also admitted that the only safeguard it has to its patently inadequate method for preserving email (dumping them in files that are put on EOP servers) is back-up tape media. These back-up copies, however, are only a “snapshot” of […]
