See George whine.  Whine George whine.  Whine whine whine.  Congress is
all at fault.  The Democrats are all to blame.  Wah wah wah!

Ya know. If George Bush were the strong leader that he seems to envision
himself as, he would not be blaming all of the country's problems on "those
godless homosexual-sympathizing socialist big-spending Democrats in
Congress." A true leader would at least find some blame in himself, after
all, the responsibility for the country ultimately falls on his shoulders.
Yet if Bush can find no blame in his administration, then either he's blind
or his administration ISN'T in control. And worse, if Bush were indeed a
good leader then the country wouldn't be in the mess it is, precipitating
these lame excuses to keep his reelection campaign afloat.

Its ironic. Wasn't it Harry Truman who had the plaque on his desk that said
"The Buck Stops Here"? George Bush likes to portray himself as the
"come from behind" presidential candidate. A latter day Harry Truman. Yet,
unlike Harry Truman, George Bush has passed the buck of blame onto
Congress and garnered the victories of the past 4 years for himself (most
notably Desert Storm). Yes Desert Storm WAS mostly his doing. But hardly a
political or military victory now in retrospect.

Wah Wah WAH!  It's those big-spending Democrats!  Their welfare and social
programs are all to blame for the budget deficit!  Funny.  He doesn't seem
to realize that these massive budget deficits were racked up during the Reagan
and Bush administrations of the past 12 years and its the President who submits
the budget to Congress for approval.

And now, almost coincident with the Republican convention we find George Bush
announcing that he's going to spend 2.5 BILLION dollars to retrain employees
displaced during the recession.  His Republican policies soaked the taxpayer
in the 80's to support government spending and now he's gonna soak us even
more to retrain those displaced thanks to the current recession which
was CAUSED by the government policies of the past 12 years.  What ever
happened to the Republican ideals of free market?  Whoops... sorry
those were thrown away when he and Lee Iacoca stumbled their way into
the hearts (and laps) of the Japanese.

And practically in the same breath George Bush is complaining that Bill Clinton
wants to raise taxes.  Well where the hell does he think the money is coming
from for HIS OWN spending boondoggles?  Bush wants to be everyone's
sugar daddy and somehow believe that he won't have to raise taxes to do it.

I think I know what George Bush's problem is.  He has no diplomatic sense.
No ability at dealing with problems with other than military solutions.

When the president introduces Bills to Congress he doesn't just sit back
and wait for the Bill to pop back out of the house as a law or a corpse.
No. The president has to ride those Bills through with tactful negotiation
and lobbying. Well if Georgie Boy had any sense for this he would have
found a way to win the approval of Congress on a number of Bills he
introduced and let die. Instead he sees Congress as "the enemy" to be
derided. His reelection campaign attacks on Bill Clinton and Clinton's wife
also display Bush's tendency for frontal assault. Consider the Gulf Crisis.
More military solutions.

He also changes directions with each shift of the prevailing breaze.

Read his lips. "No new taxes." Bad miscalculation. Never make promises you
can't keep. "I'm the EDUCATION president." "I'm the ENVIRONMENT president."
"I'm the strong NEW WORLD ORDER president." "I agree with the governors of
this nation's cities that we need to cut out the fat of welfare and poorly
administered social programs." "I believe we should invest in the people of
our cities so here's a few million dollars to revitalize your inner cities
after those riots."

Sheesh... I can't take this guy seriously. His rich Republican friends
grew rich on the bloated deficit spending of Republican policies while
the infrastructure of the country crumbled, and now he wants to inact YET
MORE government social programs. Doesn't he realize that 2.5 billion
dollars worth of new government spending is one reason WHY people are out
of work and need retraining? And hasn't someone clued him in on the simple
fact that 2.5 billion dollars worth of social programs + a quarter might
buy you a cup of coffee.

I guess this is only true when Democrats are the cause of the problem.
