Recall that 9-11 happened at the beginning of Bush’s FIRST term. Even if we give Bush all of his first term for unconstrained “war time” spending, by the start of his second term, Bush – as a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative -- had a choice: 1) Increase taxes to pay for all the spending on the Iraq war and other priorities, or 2) Reduce spending in Iraq and elsewhere. Instead, Bush chose option 3: DECREASE taxes, AND ALSO continue spending in Iraq.

And though it cost the tax payers more money than we can even imagine, Bush and Cheney got rich off that war. No doubt they still are! It sickens me to think of what that administration did to this country! And Cheney is trying to justify it... beyond reason! That is all... just beyond reason!

President Obama inherited a bigger problem than just about any President has had to figure out and un-tangle and this will take considerable time due to the "hide and seek" tactics that G.W. and Cheney have utilized to try to cover their tracks. President Obama seems to have the patience and the intelligence that was seriously lacking during the past 8 years to dig in and do what he can to clean up after the incompetency of Bush and Cheney years in the White House. And if you can't stand to watch the scariest man in the entire U.S., change the channel! We need to know what our enemies are doing and saying! That's sort of why I tune in to Fox News and listen to screatchers like Rush and Coulter!

All that spending and Bin Laden is still out there! Did you happen to notice? Of course you never really intended to get him. There is a lot more profit to be made with Osama at large, isn't there? Jon Stewart should have interviewed this crook. Stewart would have asked the questions Americans really want answers to. John King is a wimp. Hey Dick!

I still cannot get over the fact that on 9/11 our President sat reading to school children and whe he heard that we were under attack he countinued to read for 8 more minutes! Then a flight crew that flew him from DC, could not fly him back, but went in the wrong direction. Once he got to DC, his first order of business was to get his Saudi friends on planes and OUT of DC. Coincidence? I don't think so! All this time Cheney was in an undisclosed location. We could find Huissen in a hole in the ground, but we could not find bin Laden?
