From an email this morning:
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special
Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing
videos of his speeches, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you
have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the
nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a
minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes,
would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major
corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do
so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had a Republican Congress allocate 5.6 billion
dollars for a civilian volunteer security force, as strong and well
equipped as the regular Army and under his personal authority,
would you have been concerned?
If George W. Bush had proposed doubling the national debt, which
had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would
you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed doubling the debt again within
10 years, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had promised detailed tracking of the spending
from a $785 Billion Stimulus Bill and then postponed its oversight
until 2010, would you approve or would you think something "smelled
fishy"? If Bush had promised 48 hour advance posting of the same
bill on the internet and only released it two hours before
congressional approval, would you wonder what was being hidden from
the public?
If Bush's White House Staff had spent over $300,000 flying Air
Force One low over New York (for a publicity photo flyby with the
Statue of Liberty ) frightening the city, would you have approved?
Wouldn't you have expected Bush to make the pictures public?
(Obama won't give them up, but he will release the secret "torture
memos".)
If George W. Bush had been addicted to using a TelePrompTer, and
was afraid to give a speech without having one, would you have
approved? Would you have thought he was less intelligent?
If George W. Bush had pre-approved/pre-picked the list of reporters
allowed to ask questions at his press conferences and refused to
call on the correspondent from MSNBC, would you have approved?
(Obama would not take questions from Fox News.)
If George W. Bush and a Republican Congress had given hundreds of
millions of dollars to a group after its members had been convicted
of voter registration fraud, would you have approved of having them
do then 2010 Census, which will determine congressional districts
for 10 years? (ACORN will be doing the Census in 2010.)
Would you have approved of George W. Bush moving the Census from
the Dept. of Commerce into the White House and putting his Chief of
Staff in control of the counting?
If George W. Bush had flown his wife to New York City to take in a
Broadway show during a deep recession where he had told Americans
that they must "make sacrifices", would you have approved?
Obama's done all this in 16 weeks -- so we still have three years and
eight months of surprises to come.
