Is it funny, ironic or just a coincidence that after 6 years of a Republican controlled congress there has been zero oversight of the Bush administration and after only 3 months of a Democratically controlled congress we have actually had some oversight. A return to 'checks and balances' if you will. One truism is that sunlight is the best disinfectant. I don't find it a coincidence that under every rock that has been turned over by the Democrats, slime has been found. The Interior Department , The Department of Justice , the Veterans Administration, the Department of Defense , Bureau of Indian Affairs , President Bushs fund raising , FEMA , Department of Homeland Security and on and on even to include the White House.
The following are statements by either GW Bush or people in his administration , you tell me which are true... I'm a uniter, not a divider. A vote to authorize the use of force is a vote for peace. We will be greeted as liberators. My proudest day of my presidency was the day I caught a 7.5 lb. perch. No doubt , Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. We could be 45 minutes away from a mushroom cloud. Donald Rumsfield will be with me to the end. Mission accomplished. Freedom is on the march. We only use the Patriot Act to listen in on terrorist. We support the troops. I will listen to the generals on the ground. We respect the 4th amendment. We will be greeted with flowers. No American citizen will give up any rights. No child left behind. Tax cuts are good for the economy. Brownie, You're doin a heckuva job!
Of course I've paraphrased , on the whole , all of these statements have been made. Not one is true. Why should we citizens believe one word from this President?
WE ALL NEED PERSPECTIVE
