Barack Obama already has his Herbert Hoover to blame for any and all disasters that his policies create: George W. Bush.
That fact screams out at me, too. FDR had one all-purpose get-out-of-jail-free card: blame Hoover. And Bush has allowed the Democrats to demonize him for 8 years without really standing up to their fatuous criticisms. Now with the financial meltdown it appears that they actually have something on him - even if it is actually the fault of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, et al.
America had fascist policies before President Bush took office. He got double whammied with a war, a shattered military (via Clinton/Dem years), and non-stopbashing from friends and foes alike. He had to pick his battles. Media certainly wasn’t going to play fair. Liberals don’t play fair. Conservatives all began intra-fighting. Who, I often ask myself, was President Bush supposed to be standing up to? And how?
Very good point in regards to the four years or more ahead which don't look good. It is so frustrating that Dr. Sowell and people like him are ignored by our so called leaders, how ignorant and arrogant they are!
Thanks for you previous post and the link to The New Dealers' War.
