President is 'dead wrong' about so much (MEGA-BARFER)

Star Newspapers (Chicago south suburbs) ^ | Sunday, February 9, 2003 | JOAN M. KRYSINSKI (Letter to the Editor)

Ms. Krysinski is always good at providing us with a convoluted soccer-mom-in-the-heartland viewpoint. I especially like this part:

"Your solution of giving an average $1,100 in tax relief to the average household to stimulate the economy and reinvest in the stock market is ludicrous to anyone who has tried to keep up with the escalating cost of just plain living."

I'm convinced that we need to make income taxes voluntary so folks like Ms. Krysinski can pay as much as they want.

However, I am sure that Ms. Krysinski has changed he mind on Iraq since Secreatary Powell has made his presentation to the UN. She'll have to find something else to hate the President about.

Did you check to see if she wrote an editorial telling Slick how wrong he was in 1998?

A word of advice...don't bother.

[dfwgator]

As a Polish-American I want to apologize, let me reassure you that we are not all as stupid as Ms. K.

[Chi-townChief]

No need to apologize - I don't think ethnicity has anything to do with it.

Bad decisions are always based on either incomplete or incorrect information

I simply amazed at these people with so little current infomation have so much knowledge. Shes got a alot of big name company, too, all with the "right" answers but no qualifications that would back up ther opinions..

[Chi-townChief]

Now that you mention it, Joan does make this interesting observation: "Saddam Hussein poses no more an actual threat to the world than he did five years ago ..."
I guess we can take that a couple of ways.

There are plenty of good writers out there. I would hope the management would find one of them and let this person find something she's more suited for. If you want to slam Bush that's one thing. If you want to embarass yourself with an inadequate display of writing skills that's another.

How did this get into print?

Tell me what you think.

"You stated that "if war is forced upon us … we will prevail." Who is forcing us? Is it you, Mr. President?"


Good question and the answer IS Bush.

It's a shame a tree had to die so this fool's words could be printed.

"Everyone has been questioning you on your policies".

Not everyone, soccer-mom, only those who have memorized the DNC talking points.

This may answer your question:

"Does liberalism permeate Chicagoland to the extent that it does, say the SF Bay Area?"

This lady lives in an area that you would think would be demographically Republican being home to large estates, Balmoral Park Racetrack, and the very private Lincolnshire Country Club. But ...

The US is experiencing a massive hangover, economically, after the champagne bubble euphoria of '97 - '99. I doubt that any policies instituted by any president could do much to turn it around. It will turn itself around eventually. And the less jiggling with the knobs the better.

But for millions out there; Bush is to blame for their woes. That's why 2004 is no sure thing for the Republicans.

[Chi-townChief]

Nicely done although I hate to hear a good song spoiled.

"Saddam Hussein poses no more an actual threat to the
world than he did five years ago ..."

She's wrong, you know.

We now know, and this has been in the papers quite a bit in the past six months, that Iraq has been buying tons of stuff that is required to make biological and chemical weapons, and very little else.

Most of us have seen the video of the Iraqi jet rigged up as a remote-controlled "crop duster". Saddam has said that Iraq does not have NBC weapons, and that if we attack Iraq, he says that he's going to use them.

We know that Iraq has been buying items needed to enrich uranium to make nuclear weapons, that are used for virtually nothing else. Iraq apparently is less than six months away from have a workable atomc bomb.

Contrary to what the Joan's of the world opine, Saddam poses a much greater threat to the world today than he did just one year ago, much less five years ago.

"But for millions out there; Bush is to blame for their woes. That's why 2004 is no sure thing for the Republicans."

I'm extremely concerned about that myself and believe that President Bush will have real trouble getting reelected. Most of these folks don't realize that we have to pay up for the free ride of 90s. I don't have a lot of faith in our electorate's ability to "connect the dots."

"In fact, ever since you took office, the economy has suffered, and it is a hard stretch for anyone to blame it all on the previous administration."

I suggest we ask Ms. Krysinski if she was alive on 9/11/01. (It is doubtful since her words appear to be the goo-gooing of an infant.) The attacks on the United States that day had a HUGE impact on more than buildings and fields. Why do people seem to forget that? We are still suffering the economic consequences of the Osama 19.

And for the "Bush Knew" gang, I offer the following question: "Why didn't BJ Clinton ('It's the economy, stupid!') WARN the United States about WorldCom and Enron and the like?" He was pretend-president when they were blowing up their financial balloons, after all! (Certainly those CEOs learned from the best hijinkin' duo, Mr. & Mrs. Whitewater-IsIs-CattleFutures.) Unfortunately for us, his real citizens, those balloons burst under the current (genuinely elected) President, who is, IMO, quite adept at handling a multitude of top priority items at one time.
