I never said it was Bush's fault, smartguy. But before you make yourself at home somewhere you make sure that there aren't bees nests, spiders, bats or vermin in residence. Like I said, elemental.
I was not talking about you - just commenting on the fact - that the human nature on FR and everywhere is to bemoan the fact that "gosh" Bush just does not get it done. While we just sit here and watch it all - same as our Republican elected representatives.
Do we ever see them get really mad and up in arms over this stuff? No, we do not. They are too busy being "friends" with the leakers.
I expect all Republicans to be up in arms on this. We elected a president and we just sit and watch as he is daily destroyed - and, we join in and complain about him not doing "something" to prevent all problems.
If we don't get off our duffs and continually cause an uproar over this stuff - we turn over our country. It is not Bush's fault - he is the target and gets little or no help from any of us. Me included as well as our "elected representatives".
I get tired of being on the warpath, I get overwhelmed and worried about the constant attacks from all sides - foreign, illegals, media, and in our government jobs.
Something had better change quick. We are seeing the dismantling of our country by the leakers, the cheats, the bribers, the liberal criminal friendly judges, the dems, the socialists and the "MEDIA".
And, our reaction? To sit here and post constantly about "Bush should have......, Bush did not......., Bush is to blame, Why did Bush not......".
Sure seems we could do a little better and demand better from our elected representatives.
But HOW? Surely we are smart enough to come up with something WE CAN DO. Surely someone is smart enough on here to see a way to counter the media, the dems, the liberals.
Please let me know if you hear about an answer.
It is also elmental to remember the context of 2000-2001.
A heated Court Battle in which Gore tried to steal the election that polarized the country. Time to prepare for transition was shortened considerably, Clinton kept the funds unavailable. When he was sworn in he was in a battle with the Congress to confirm his nominees for Cabinet positions. They were forced to clean up a mess left behind by Clintons and their staffers. Not the least of which was the childish removal of the letter "W" from keyboards. Let alone attempting to catch up on what the Clinton's had done (or didn't do) while in office and make sense of policies and right them where necessary. All this and then September 11th hits.
Under the circumstances while hindsight says he should have cleaned house, that hindsight is without benefit of the unusual challanges the Bush administration faced upon entering office vs the circumstances that awaited Clinton, 41, Reagan, and Carter. Firing Clinton appointees wasn't a high priority at the time.
This doesn't mean he couldn't have done so after the 2004 elections however. That would have been the ideal time, when events had settled somewhat and his election safely behind him.
