While Mitch McConnell was excoriating Democrats for telling then President Bush that he needed to start withdrawing from Iraq, he was busy begging President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq simply for political expediency. The hypocrisy of this stance is not surprising as hypocrisy is typical with most politicians whether they are Democrats or Republicans. […]

America – He’s Your President for Goodness Sake! By William Thomas Posted: Friday, October 1st, 2010 There was a time not so long ago when Americans, regardless of their political stripes, rallied round their president. Once elected, the man who won the White House was no longer viewed as a republican or democrat, but the […]

I continue to wonder why George Bush came out with his memoirs especially now given that his failed presidency is still raw in people’s psyche. You would think that he would at least have dotted his “I”s and crossed his “T”s. An implicit confession of being a war criminal by authorizing waterboarding without the ability […]

Jon Stewart was on Rachel Maddows show last night and continuously try pass himself off as simply a comedian and not a commentator or journalist. He is right on both counts.

If he was not President of the United States, the most powerful country in the world, he would have been tried at the Hague. Sadly, I never […]

The President should not extend the Bush tax cuts. He needs to get on national TV and say something like. “My fellow Americans, we are at an impasse. I ran for President to restore and champion the financial wellbeing of the middleclass. In the first 20 months of my administration I had to make decisions […]

If we have a Republican stating on the record that President Bush destroyed the GOP then it should go without question that these Republicans should agree with President Obama’s characterization of what Bush left behind and he is attempting to repair. It is disingenuous to state the reality of what President Bush did to the […]
