"Nothing is ever the President's fault"

[Bluebear]

The intelligence failures prior to Sept. 11 weren't Bush's fault. Neither was the bad intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. It wasn't his fault that he insulted and alienated U.S. allies who demanded proof of Iraq's guilt prior to the war.

The abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison weren't his fault, nor was the establishment of an extralegal camp at Guantanamo Bay where Bush abandoned the Geneva Convention. A few rogue soldiers committed all the abuses, and the terrorists created the need for Guantanamo Bay.
It's not Bush's fault that there was no post-war plan in Iraq. Nor can he be blamed for our skyrocketing national debt, budget deficits and war costs. He can't be blamed for the more than 1,800 U.S. soldiers who have been killed in Iraq; the insurgents bear responsibility for that.


<big snip>

President Bush has been absolved more times than we can count, but he's never going to have a moment of introspective clarity, because the public is only confirming what he already believes about himself. Nothing is ever his fault.

So why not start a war? Why not cover up for Rove? Why not ignore the Senate and appoint Bolton? Why not take another vacation? His supporters will never blame him for anything, so Bush may as well do whatever he wants.

1. Of course not.

It's all Clinton's fault.

Especially the Clenis.

But they will preach about accountability and integrity.

A key element of good leadership is accepting responsibility and admitting mistakes. But these people are thugs, and only care about power and money. The republican party is a party of treason that is destroying this Nation. I don't know if it can be saved.

4. I caught that column yesterday in the Post.

Great guy who writes it -- Reggie Rivers, a former Bronco and current radio host here in town.

5. Of course

Republicans are above the law. :eyes: It really pisses me off how they act like that. :mad: I'm so sick and tired of them blaming everything on us! Which is why we have to try to take back as many seats in the House and Senate as we can.

6. Be FAIR: Bush *WILL* succeed in Privatizing Government

Along the lines of the successful Russian model ...

7. I got an extra $300 back in taxes this year because of him...

Fox never says anything bad about him...and they are fair and balanced and let me decide. He is a good christian and really just a good ol' boy at heart. Gotta go...there is NASCAR on right now..I'm sure George is putting everything in Jesus' hands so we have nothing to worry about. God bless and good night America...sleep well.

11. "I don't care -- I JUST LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!"

I cannot tell you how many times I heard that during election 04 -- no matter what horrible problem I pointed out.

12. The buck doesn't stop here

The arrogant know-it-all never takes responsibility for any thing that goes wrong.
