Only Nixon was ever more alone in the Oval Office than this Current Occupant. And it all began for Nixon with leaving out some important information he should have shared with the public much, much earlier on.

The Won has failed to share all kinds of information with the nation, his party, and even his close confidants in his immediate circle. A loose cannon that has broken free of its restraints, and now has swung around to point at some of its own stores of powder and shot, with the fuse burning.

If the curse was to be living in interesting times, then these must be very interesting times. For we are surely more cursed than at any period in recent memory.

The avalanche has already started. The best we may hope for is to not be in its direct path.

I keep thinking about the media convenient amnesia. They pushed the Dem mantra about Bush’s 4.5% unemployment rate being the worst since the 40’s.

Nixon had done a lot to help other Republicans, which is part of the reason he was able to get a second chance in 1968 after losing not only the Presidential election of 1960 but the gubernatorial election of 1962 in California. He was President in a difficult time for the country when the population was very polarized, yet he managed to get a lot done (some of it good, some of it not so good).

What does Obama have by way of accomplishments? A health care bill pushed through by bribery despite the opposition of the majority of the population, and the assassination of a foreign enemy (who would have been more valuable if brought back alive for questioning).
