MY personal opinion is that President Bush gave the liberal lunatics ‘gravitas’ and allowed them to run circles around him. Social security notwithstanding.
Bush is a nice guy . . not very bright . . but a nice guy.
I agree. The ultimate Stockholm Syndrome Republican. Rather than fight, he martyed himself.

I think that was a decision largely made by Karl Rove da GENIUS!!
I find it funny that Henry Paulson jumped in front of the camera as if he were president and announced frantically the economy is collapsing. The funny part was that 99% of the population was unaware of the financial problems and responded appropriately. The problem could have been controlled gradually as long as the population remained calm. The fact the administration chose to break the news though a urgent news address, as they did, make me feel the only motives could have been a few. It really seems they decided to take down several birds with one stone. Keep John McCain from becoming president, expose the housing finance problems just before handing over power (expose it now, and let them get the blame later), and spend so much money on the way out that it would make Americans mad when the Dems started their spending spree.
I have felt this way from the moment Henry Paulson’s face hit the camera in 08. The coming midterm result are exactly what I expected . This is not a pro-republican turnout. It is a p.o’d electorate who wanted change, not fundamental restructuring or American Government and Public Policy. It is a people who saw massive spending and negligence at the end of 08 and only wanted that to change, and that change was not received. This Midterm election is about “change”.
