Military Tribunals: Bush Was Evil! Bush Was Unconstitutional! Uh, Bush Was Right
Start Thinking Right ^ | March 5, 2010 | Michael Eden

Posted on 03/05/2010 6:34:31 PM PST by Michael Eden

When I was a kid, we had a tough little dachshund. Then we got a poodle who was as arrogant as you'd expect a poodle to be. The poodle constantly attacked the dachshund, even though time after time the dachshund would have the poodle on her back with her teeth around the poodle's throat in about 2 seconds every time they got into it.

That's sort of like Obama and Bush. With Obama being the poodle, and Bush (despite the fact that he doesn't bother to defend his policies in the media) being the dachshund.

Renditions? Obama got his butt kicked. Eavesdropping programs? Obama got his butt kicked Patriot Act? Obama got his butt kicked. Gitmo? Obama got his butt kicked. Surge strategy? Obama got his butt kicked. Iraq War? Obama got his butt kicked. Iranian nuclear threat? Obama got his butt kicked. That sort of thing.

You stupid, arrogant poodle, Obama. You'd be completely ashamed of yourself if you weren't such an arrogant narcissist.

Again and again, on issue after issue, Obama demagogued and demonized Bush policies on the campaign trail. But when it came time to put up or shut up, and actually DO something, Obama's "poodle policies" ended up on their back with Bush policy fangs around their throat.

And now we see it yet again. Military Tribunals? Another Obama butt kicking:

Obama advisers set to recommend military tribunals for alleged 9/11 plotters

By Anne E. Kornblut and Peter Finn Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, March 5, 2010

President Obama's advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s plan to try him in civilian court in New York City.

The president's advisers feel increasingly hemmed in by bipartisan opposition to a federal trial in New York and demands, mainly from Republicans, that Mohammed and his accused co-conspirators remain under military jurisdiction, officials said. While Obama has favored trying some terrorism suspects in civilian courts as a symbol of U.S. commitment to the rule of law, critics have said military tribunals are the appropriate venue for those accused of attacking the United States.

You just thought you were so above it all, weren't you, Poodle-in-Chief? Bush's policies were terrible in every way except in virtue of the fact that they actually worked, while all yours are now revealed to be so totally full of crap you dropped them.

In other developments, the guy we are forced to rely upon to impose his will on an Iran determined to create a nuclear ICBM stockpile doesn't even have the nerves to impose his will on a pack of cigarettes.

This is why we shouldn't have wanted a poodle for our president.

Let’s see. Bush was the most stupid Republican. Obama is the smartest Democrat. Obama keeps showing Bush is smarter than he is. Ergo, Republicans are smarter than Democrats.

piytar,

When it comes to our Disgrace-in-chief, it’s hard to be “dead on accurate” without being pretty harsh.

That was pretty good. Liked the tune and the pics.

Here’s a great “Iran Proves Bush Right” article.

My favorite video comparing Bush and Obama is this one that compares Bush’s reception from Marines to Obama’s:
