Total Failure

While I do not agree with everything Nancy Pelosi says and does, it’s good to hear such straight talk instead of trying to play nice for the sake of politics. Whenever Congress tries to make progress in an important area that is contrary to the GOP political agenda, almost always the Senate Republicans line up in lock step to prevent votes and debate from even happening. They filibuster and use procedural tactics to halt progress and prevent solutions, then Bush announces that it’s the Democrats in Congress that cannot get anything accomplished.

Pick your topic – the economy, healthcare, jobs, education, foreign policy, short-term energy problems, long-term energy problems, Iraq, Afghanistan, veterans, banking deregulation, Katrina, global climate disruption (aka warming), rebuilding the site of the Twin Towers, or even upholding the Constitution.

Bush is indeed a miserable failure from the perspective of America and the American people in general, but a shining beacon of success for the very rich and his cronies. That is not to say that he hates America, as a few extreme lefties put forth – he simply is indifferent. Political goals and cronies are his mission, the fate of the US and Americans simply does not matter to him in the slightest. To see this, one only has to take a critical, unbiased look at his long-term planning from day one that has led to our current situations. Too many people in power try to gloss over this, and the press is shameful in withholding accountability. So, you go Nancy! Don’t mince words and call out Bush for exactly what he is, a total failure.
