George W. Bush, when asked by Bob Woodward “how is history likely to judge your Iraq war?” replied, “History, we don’t know. We’ll all be dead.” (Woodward Shares War Secrets, CBS News, 60 Minutes, April 18, 2004)…But, some of us remember…
An Ode to the Bush Legacy
(To be read aloud)TYING Saddam to Bin Laden and 9/11
THEY (not US) now worship a martyr who frolics with 70 virgins in heaven
SPYING on all…even Grannies for Peace
When Fear is king…Protest will decrease.
.The public RELYING on warnings of mushroom clouds and WMDS
from Arbusto Bush, Halliburton Dick and the USS Condoleezz
.Our kids are still DYING for the Masters of Oil
Why is OUR Devine Treasure buried beneath their sand and soil?
Big Business BUYING…DC influence with lobbyists galore
What a surprise! War Profiteers demand VOTES FOR WAR.
CRYING? There’s no crying in America’s new Corporatacy…
Bend down, bend over, say goodbye to Democracy.
.Loyal Bushies DEFYING subpoenas to keep us on track
Don’t worry, Alberto…The GOP has you back!
LYING…”I was less than precise with my words” = DISINFORMATION…
Can you remember when real politicians spoke the truth to our nation?
OCCUPYING…War on Terror? Neocon liars with an ace up their sleeve …
Must own Middle East Oil…and never leave.
A war can be won…an occupation is forever.
SIGHING: I got mine, but my kids are on their own.
I bought global warming and GENERATION NEXT only gets an ipod and an iphone…
And yet, I’m TRYING…to return to a time when every American was equal
to erase Dubya’s “Kiss my silver-spooned rich WASP ass” credo…The Sequel
And now, I’m VYING…TO TAKE BACK THE FUTURE from the greedy screwhead thugs…
and return it to our kids with love and some hugs!

Obama’s Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy
Stunning Break with Last Eight YearsSince the election, President-elect Barack Obama has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete sentences, political observers say.
Millions of Americans who watched Mr. Obama’s appearance on CBS’ “Sixty Minutes” on Sunday witnessed the president-elect’s unorthodox verbal tic, which had Mr. Obama employing grammatically correct sentences virtually every time he opened his mouth.
But Mr. Obama’s decision to use complete sentences in his public pronouncements carries with it certain risks, since after the last eight years many Americans may find his odd speaking style jarring.
According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, some Americans might find it “alienating” to have a President who speaks English as if it were his first language.
“Every time Obama opens his mouth, his subjects and verbs are in agreement,” says Mr. Logsdon. “If he keeps it up, he is running the risk of sounding like an elitist.”
The historian said that if Mr. Obama insists on using complete sentences in his speeches, the public may find itself saying, “Okay, subject, predicate, subject predicate - we get it, stop showing off.”
The President-elect’s stubborn insistence on using complete sentences has already attracted a rebuke from one of his harshest critics, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.
“Talking with complete sentences there and also too talking in a way that ordinary Americans like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder can’t really do there, I think needing to do that isn’t tapping into what Americans are needing also,” she said.
