'Decision Points' Review: 'New Yorker' Blasts George Bush Book
i don't doubt some things have gotten worse, but it started with the pretend cowboy from Connecticut.
the nature of power is that is very grudgingly given up voluntarily. by anyone, including you or me.
after the Revolution, some people wanted George Washington to become king. he declined, though he would have had the whole army behind him. no one could have stopped him. but he rejected it.
before the election, a friend of mine expressed how much he hoped Obama would win, and how everything Bush had done would be reversed.
i told him at that time that Obama was human. one of the things about being human is that, if you are given a certain amount of power, you are naturally loathe to give it up. there are very, very few people who are capable of rejecting such power as Bush took for himself and any successors.
and i reminded him that Obama might be a good guy, but he wasn't George Washington.
it'd seem i was proven right on that, so your 'hypocrisy' comment makes no sense.
you assume i'm for one or the other.
a choice between cattle and sheep isn't my way.
