Yuck! I understand Baker was in GHWB's administration but I wish he wasn't in that picture.

In this photo, in addition the GHWB and Barbara, I see former Secretary of State James Baker and former Senator Alan Simpson. Simpson was on a local talk radio show about two weeks ago, talking about the Iraq Study Group and GWB's rejection of their report. Simpson was saying that he doesn't understand why GWB is being "so stubborn" about Iraq. Among other things, Simpson said he "watched that boy grow up," and he "never used to be that way."
I have a very strong opinion about what I believe to be a severe betrayal of GWB by...well, let's just say people who held government jobs during Bush 41's time in office. I have never expressed my full opinion about this here on FR, and probably never will. Also, I realize the photo has to do with honoring a dead president. Still, my anger when I see Baker, Simpson and a number of others is difficult to hold back. They are the same people who helped sink Bush 41's chance at a 2nd term.
