I agree, especially since the Republican party is just sitting there, trying to appeal to “moderates” and not offering any alternatives—nor, in this case, SHOULD they be.
Having said that, I will await the day when bigmouth Biden claims victory. I hope we get UBL under Obama, but it will be because of steps Bush took in Afghanistan and Obama/Biden continued, not through any initiative on their own. Thus, Bush will be vindicated even as Biden will be claiming Obama/Biden did the right thing and trying desperately to discredit Bush for what might be the only action they’ll take that deserves bipartisan support.
Just as the Berlin Wall fell after Reagan left office yet was due in part to Reagan’s actions, continuing Bush’s policies will reflect well on him, while failures will reflect on Obama—fair or not, that’s how it goes.
I agree with your reasoning. Thanks for the comments.
” agree, especially since the Republican party is just sitting there, trying to appeal to “moderates” and not offering any alternatives—nor, in this case, SHOULD they be.”
Actually I think Republicans are trying to get their act together ( and hope they will) and they should indeed offer alternative and point out flaws in the Obama agenda.
Here is an article by clearly a Democrat complaining that Republicans may actually oppose Obama’s agenda.
