Posted by DCKit in General Discussion: Presidential (Through Nov 2009)
Sat Sep 19th 2009, 04:58 PM
Reminds me of something I heard on the NBC Nightly News last night... Brian Williams mentioned that President Obama's numbers "Aren't as high as George W's* at this stage of his Presidency."

Well, how fucking disingenuous can you possibly get? President Obama didn't ignore any dire warnings from flight schools, FBI agents, CIA briefings or others virtually screaming "THEY ARE HERE!!!" and allow the nation to be attacked by terrorists "at this stage of his Presidency" so he could take advantage of "Shock and Awe" to inflate said numbers. MIHOP, LIHOP or just plain raging incompetence and callous disregard, the numbers post 9/11/2001 were thoroughly undeserved.

Had the people known BushCo* had ignored just the CIA briefing in August immediately after the attacks, heads would have been on pikes in front of the WH within hours of the news getting out. Is it any wonder Dick Cheney remained in an undisclosed location for most of the next four years?

I'll take the EARNED 62% over the undeserved 90% any day of any week of any month of any year Brian. But thanks for your concern.
