Friends,
Would you boo? Me too. What a total mess Bush has made of this country. Froomkins column White House Watch in the Washington Post is a great source of information from around the country. Mr. Froomkin is one of the few writers who has kept his eyes on Cheney and Bush.
We must not let them slink away with no punishment!
Peace and Love,
Rev O
"..... But systematically screening audiences. . . . may be a new phenomenon, and one that the president should be asked to defend and justify in terms of his constitutional obligations."
"Truly, it's one of the most blatant, indefensible examples of how Bush has turned his into the most divisive of presidencies."
"The problem is that Mr. Bush's legacy is unambiguously dismal. He is leaving the economy in worse shape than he found it, with an extra $4-trillion added to the national debt for good measure.
"He presided over a vast expansion, and abuse, of the powers of his office. The legacy of Guantanamo, torture and wiretaps will not soon be forgotten.
"The war on terror has had few tangible successes and many apparent failures. And elsewhere in foreign policy, the record has been bleak. . . . "
Another Cheney Backfire?
"Vice President Cheney visits Iraq, and just over a week later, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki launches a surprise attack on political rivals in Basra. Just a coincidence? Or another spectacular Cheney backfire? You decide.
There's little doubt that Cheney went to Iraq with two things most on his mind: The continued U.S. troop presence and the threat posed by Iran. A bold and successful move by Maliki would have been a huge PR victory for the central government -- and if it increased tensions with Iran, all the better. "
"The big winners appear to be Sadr and Iran. The big loser: Maliki"
Iran Watch
"Bush falsely and inflammatorily stated that the Iranian government has "declared they want to have a nuclear weapon to destroy people."
These people appear to have learned nothing."
Boos for Bush» White House Watch Washington Post
There's a reason President Bush almost never appears before an unvetted audience.

Civil Rights and the Decline Thereof
Friends,
I feel that we, as citizens of the United States, are losing our preciouse civil rights. Our government has been corrupted by partisionship and paper patriotism. Our Constitution is being trampled.
I intend to create a forum of intelligent insight into what is happening to our world.
Science and reason will rule here. Physdo-science and myth will be ignored.
My sources will generally be; The Denver Rocky Mountain News, The Washington Post, The Financial Times of London, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Onion, Slate, Salon.com and The Pine River Times as the daily papers. My reading is varied. I subscribe to: The New Yorker magazine, Wired magazine, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation newsletter. My favorite novels are Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, Huckleberry Finn, and One Hundred Years of Solitude. I watch: The Lehrer Report, The Daily Show, Southpark, The Simpsons and just about anything on PBS.
I am a member of MoveOn, American Civil Liberties Union, the Denver Botanic Gardens, The Denver Art Museum and Freedom From Religion Foundation.
I feel that it is my responsibility, as a concerned citizen, to speak out and share the truth.
Peace and Love,
Rev O

I was recently retired as a Professional Land Surveyor for over thirty-five years. I have two children who are graduated from college and are successfully working in their chosen fields. I live in Denver, Colorado. I believe that the separation of the church and state is a very important concept in our Constitution. Our civil rights are being trampled by this administration. My civil rights are rapidly receeding as Big Brother continues to watch.

<< ...even when he was talking about something as uncontroversial as the essential goodness of our country, he wanted his audience prescreened for obsequiousness. >>
who falls for these cheap tactics??? surely GWB's supporters see through these cynical attempts to manipulate our shared understanding.
he might as well appear in front of a blue curtain, and have images of thundering crowds chroma keyed into the footage... sure would save a lot of logistical trouble.
