So Far


We we are passed the 100 day mark in the Obama presidency and to date I have very little that concerns me.

Yes the economy is still in the toilet and we are still in two wars. However as far as someone trying to do the job he was hired to do, President Obama is at least trying to do the job we hired him to do.

I only have one major issue with this presidency and that is their unwillingness to investigate and prosecute the torture and illegal rendition of "terrorist", war crimes of the last administration. We have to do this, no matter how disrupting it is to the political system. We can not ignore the crimes that the Bush presidency committed. It seem that every night when I watch the news there are new allegations against the last administration.

Without the American people accepting responsibility for the action of our elected officials, and taking the easy way out, will not mend our standing in the world community. We must police ourselves before we can assume the right to police others.

Will someone please shut Dick Chaney up! He was scary as vice-president and now we can all see why no Democrat ever wish harm to George Bush. Dick Cheney was too scary to even contemplate. Now he is acting like the insane megalomaniac we all knew him to be.

His constant appearances on the weekend news shows is a good example why he needs to be muzzled, he is a freaking embarrassment to this county. However I will tune in when he finally has a final full blown psychotic break.

Please, fellow citizens of the Republican persuasion, Cheney and Rush are not the image you want projected to the rest of the world as to what a Republican stands for. Find some new leaders and quick, or they may just be the death of your party.
