Living in the Past

Happy and I'm smiling,
Walk a mile to drink your water.
You know Id love to love you,
And above you theres no other.
Well go walking out
While others shout of wars disaster.
Oh, we wont give in,
Lets go living in the past.


-- Jethro Tull, Living in the Past, 1969 Chrysalis Records


This blog isn't all about bashing Barry Obama. It really isn't. Lord knows it's easy to do, and Obashing is such a target rich environment. A year ago, the blog wasn't about bashing GWB and one republican candidate after another either, but that's what we had to do. Rather, this blog is all about stuff that needs to be said that isn't being covered adequately elsewhere. If you read the more enlightened blogs highlighted on the left side of this page, and keep up with realclearpolitics.com, townhall.com, Shepard Smith, and Glenn Beck, you pretty much know 99% of what you need to know. I wouldn't want to waste your time a couple times a month to get at repetitive news flashes (that's what drudge is for).

I do have to call attention to certain persons on the left (including apparently, BHO himself) who can't let go of George Bush. Please. A torture investigation? You've already given away all the secrets, and not one of them "rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors". I get emails from folks decrying GWBs financials as if they were indication that Obama is the right candidate. As if Obama showed the slightest interest in correcting any of it. A right rong and a left wrong is still wrong. Fixing GWBs financials isn't the plan. But attacking some of the victims of his leadership apparently is. Torture investigation? Reminds me a lot of the Travelgate affair. Clinton's first 100 days. Needed a bad guy to hammer on.

Lookee, it's time to put GWB in the rear view mirror. It amounts to stalking for heavens sake. There's nothing he can do to help you now. If you need someone to pound on, Napolitano seems to be the fashion du jour. As for me, I'm officially calling a moratorium on any more Bush bashing (except as historical footnote in the Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, Abe Lincoln sense.) Blaming Bush for the current ills of the government is becoming more like blaming the 2008 Detroit Lions for the Washington National's slow start.

Oh, and Dick Cheney too.

Barry H. Obama is doing his own version of the Patriot Act by nationalizing the banks and car companies, and usurping legislative branch by appointing czars in front of every money pit. He needs all the cover he can get, and GWB is so far back in the rear view mirror, he has to reach for Cheney, who surfaces every once in a while to fight history.
