Decision Flexible

It's not surprising that Bush's book has themes and passages lifted from previous writings that lauded him as a great leader.

It also comes as no surprise that Bush's book - was it even written by him? - is being recognized as a "best seller", considering conservative authors rely on bulk purchasing to further the narrative the America actually buys into such nonsense.

And it should come as a shock to no one that Fox"News" is going to give Bush a multimedia handjob as often and as fervent as they can. But when they say he's "the boss", then one has to look at what they consider a successful "boss" to be.

Here's Hannity offering yet another dose of his man-love for W.



Seems that Fox, and apparently their viewership, think a "real boss" displays these qualities and runs his "business" like this:

- Taking credit for the successes of others

- Failing at literally every level of his private sector business attempts

- Ignoring a glaring warning of a threat against our nation

- Isn't concerned with the leadership of those that attacked us on Sept. 11th

- Presided over an administration that is responsible for a "bailout" that is now attributed to Obama and Democrats

- Increased the national debt by trillions in less than 10 years

Is that the type of "boss" you want?

Fiscal Context

------ Saw this highlighted over at The Political Carnival and thought it needed a little expansion, considering who it is that is talking about fiscal issues -------

Let's take a look at newly elected, Tea Bagger backed, Pat Toomey and his response to something that conservative absolutely went nuts over recently.



Ah, there's that magic word again - "context". Could this be the moment where the Tea Baggers start to get nervous about their choices? Well, let's just ask their spokes model, Glenn Beck:

( skip ahead to the 5:03 mark for the bit that will likely have Toomey singing a new tune once he gets his Fox"News" talking points memo his first day at work )



Sounds like Beck isn't too keen on this idea. And we all know how the modern conservative movement looks at Beck as it's new messiah.

Have we just seen the first hiccup in the Tea Bagger "tidal wave"? I certainly do.

Dont' Call Them Out......

.....because accountability isn't in their genetic make-up!!!!

This is some unfiltered, unscripted, real talk from Obama that has some conservatives seriously bent out of shape.



So how did those Bush Tax Cuts that were designed to recirculate more money into the economy work out? How much did they cost? How about the cost of the occupation of Iraq and the confrontation in Afghanistan? Those dollar figures alone should make conservatives wet their collective Depends on a daily basis. But do they? Of course not, as that would admit that conservative ideology is responsible for more than half our current debt.

I say we need more talk like this from not only our President, but all Democrats. Let the Republicans twitch and whine. They always create the problems and want us to solve them, so why are we even reaching across the aisle now?
