City Councils calling for impeachment. Members of Congress calling for censure. It’s more symbolism over substance. These whiny partisan politicians simply can’t get over the fact that George W. Bush is President. They claim that Bush has lied. Hey, didn’t we learn from the last Presidency that nothing matters as long as the economy is doing well? Lying is especially okay.
Well - the economy IS doing well. And so their buddies write articles about how the economy isn’t really doing well - it is all just an illusion! Yeah, the dot-com speculative investing was real, but the current economic growth is all just a figment of our imaginations. Sure. Those help wanted signs must be fake.
The President is Commander-in-Chief. He orders the military. That should be the end of the story. We needed to act, and we did. I guarantee you that if Saddam was still in control of Iraq, we’d be hearing these same gum-flappers wailing about how Bush should “do something” to “finish the job his father didn’t finish.” Instead of trying to tear down Bush, why don't they focus on backing our troops?
And they can’t seem to get it through their heads that U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President.
At least their griping and playing to the cameras has a silver lining – although much of it gives aid and comfort to the enemies of our nation, it means they have less time to pass destructive laws.
