Bleh.

Are there any politicians that don't speak like this? Sheesh!

"Give me Liberty, or Give me Death"

"A house divided against itself cannot stand"

"Walk softly and carry a big stick"

"We have nothing to fear except fear itself"

"The buck stops here"

"Ask not what your country can do for you"

"It depends on what your definition of is is"



Maybe The President is just hoping one of his will stick.

It's just more of the "scope creep" we've seen since the WMD argument turned out to be bogus. I was just reading the speech and now, apparantly, it's always been about freeing the downtrodden and nation building and such. I think we're supposed to forget the WMD reason we were given first and all the other reasons we've been given since. It appears to be working still, just not as well.

Well, that's the corner he's painted himself into. He only has two routes. He's built his current message on such a foundation of lies and denial that his only choices are to continue to repeat the current story like a mantra hoping people believe it's true, or allow the reality of the last 3 years of distortion to come crashing down on him.

My question would be then, why don't any of the criticisms about him stick? I keep thinking if he was a Democrat he'd be impeached by now for Iraq. I strongly believe that if he were a Dem, he would have been blamed for 9/11 not given hero status.
There is zero accountability with this man. Bleh.

But who would have blamed him if he were a Dem?
Who gives him "hero" status now?
