I’ve sent two tweets and sent a message to the White House.
It was amazing to watch Bush go from a 92% popularity rating to losing the 2nd term to a sleazy hillbilly.
I don't know why he couldn't see it. People had forgotten the war, and the media had started the drumbeat of "The Economy is Terrible!" and they had been pushing Carville's "It's the Economy stupid." line.
Bush naively threw away his chance at a second term with that astonishing blunder.
Apparently it is hereditary, because W Bush threw away peace in Iraq by agreeing to Paul Bremer's stupid plan to bar Bathe party members from government jobs, and to toss all Bathe party members out of the Army.
I knew the instant I heard it announced that it would throw away our victory and spell years of subsequent war.
Two Presidents, father and son, making obvious blunders that would have far ranging and serious consequences, and neither of them could see it.
