Now I remember why I switched to politics on the blog….global issues do not interest you guys! Lol…So here it is…
Comparisons between what did not work under President Bush and works great under President Obama:
· Drinking in college by Bush is bad but drug use by Obama is cool… the “audacity of dope!”
· For 20 years and under Bush, attending Rev Wright’s church was OK but once Senator running for the White House, Rev Wright became “The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago.”
· During previous administration, Rezko was a friend. During the campaign, “your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago.” (Dixit Sen Clinton). Once Senator running for the White House, Obama said “This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew.”
· Tax breaks: they were for the rich under Bush and are OK now that the Obama administration continues them.
· A military surge in Iraq was bad under Bush and the lying General “Betrayus” misrepresented it but it is good under Obama in Afghanistan.
· War on Islam bad under Bush… Muslim countries that are friendly to the US, where US citizens can roam freely and exercise their freedom of speech, religion, sexual preferences, etc…: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, and West Africa, Lebanon…. But President Obama stated that “the U.S. “is not and never will be at war with Islam”
· The Domestic Surveillance law was an attack on our constitutional rights and privacy under Bush but it is OK now for Eric Holder to push Congress for its continuation.
· China’s poor records on Human rights issue were encouraged when Bush attended the Olympic games (dixit Sen Clinton or Pelosi) but “won’t hinder” our economic and political relationship with the Obama administration (dixit State Secretary Clinton or Speaker of the House Pelosi)
· Carrying guns in public parks was a bad idea of the Bush administration but has been signed into law by President Obama.
· Torture is an ugly legacy used and encouraged by the Bush administration but US lawmakers “a la Pelosi” who have known about it since 2002 did encourage it by their silence and complicity. They did not know, were lied to, forgot, did not do anything because it was pointless….whatever…. and President Obama said that he was “Seeking to move beyond what he calls a “a dark and painful chapter in our history,” a time when executive and legislative worked together to achieve results and win a couple of wars.
· Investigating the Bush administration to restore America’s honor is good but creating a bipartisan committee to investigate the many claims from the speaker of the House, Pelosi, that the CIA has lied to and misled members of Congress is just a disturbance to more critical topics…especially when everybody knows that she has been lying on the matter…and if she has not, can one run by me why it is unimportant to prove that the CIA is actually lying and misleading Congress…a pattern that led us to Iraq…an excuse for Bush? A screen smoke from a lying and self serving politician? Come on, on these time of exposing Bush-Cheney evil side, Democrats would have jumped on the occasion and supported the investigation…unless they know Pelosi is lying!
· Harsh interrogation methods were “legalized” by a bunch of “bad lawyers” of the Bush administration and that was not good, but using lawyers to legitimize the incarceration without trial of hard core Guantanamo inmates on US soil is OK as long as it comes from the Obama administration…
· Pork Barrel under Bush was bad but under Obama it is a good thing
· Lobbyist was the plague under Bush but under Obama it is OK… Interests groups involved in that new Green cash cow have increased their lobbying workforce by 300% compared to five years ago…
· And Hiroshima and Nagasaki used to be good and credited for saving hundreds of Thousands of American AND Japanese lives but according to Obama, guilty America should be leading the world to a total nuclear disarmament because –how dared she- America actually used the evil power first.
· And special funding to finance the war was bad under Bush but seems like a good idea under Obama, even when he used to oppose them when Senator.
· And Blackwater and the privatization of war by corporate America was so bad under Bush but ignored today when Blackwater is still protecting State Department officials under a Federal contract.
· And the special military tribunal that were not good at all during Bush and have been restarted by the Obama administration.
· And the “rendition” process that allows America to transfer prisoners to foreign countries, was bad under Bush but upheld by the new administration.
· And the nomination of buddies and contributors as Ambassadors….come on, even the owner of the Steelers got one of these cozy payback post!
· And the announcement of the 150.000 jobs he saved the day when unemployment fell to another record low…oooops…he saved jobs based on what he said we would have lost without him! That’s good non partisan math!
· And finally, $500 billion Federal Budget deficit and two wars were bad under two terms of Bush but $1.84 Trillion deficit –and growing- in 200 days under Obama is cool.
How do you spell Hypocrisy, disinformation?
