Obama slams Bush administration for taking America ‘off course’
CNN ^ | May 21st, 2009

WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama said Thursday the Bush administration took America’s national security “off course” in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attack.

After September 11, “faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions,” Obama said.

“I believe that many of these decisions were motivated by a sincere desire to protect the American people. But I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight. That all too often trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions.”

Fact is, the Democrats built their political platform out of hatred for Bush and Cheney. That’s all they have. banks are still failing. Jobs are still disapearing. Homes are still being foreclosed on. terrorists are still plotting. and the Democrats are busily attacking the former President and Vice President because that’s all they know how to do. They’re about as useful as a trap door in a canoe.

...but at some point he has to come out and bitch slap this fraud that’s in the White House.

No, he does not! There are others to do that...Cheney, Rove and Congressman Sam Johnson to name a few.

President Bush took his job seriously for 8 years. He was the adult in charge. He kept this country safe from another terrorist attack in spite of all the ninnys from both sides of the political isle.

Leave him alone and let him live his life in peace!

You’re right.

When the echo of the rhetoric fades and the symbolism loses its sparkle, they are left with nothing but hatred and failed ideas.

The only person taking the U.S. off course is that guy currently living in the White House.

The President is acting like the kid in school who is never on time with his homework.Blames the situation on everyone else and continues to hold out false hopes that he will do better.

Too much hawaiian dope induces the permanent pot-head psychosis that is the democrat mantra.
