A November to Remember....

President Bush went to Pakistan and congratulated the people of Pakistan on winning so many outsourced U.S. jobs-he said (and I am paraphrasing from memory) that the world can learn a lesson to be more competitive- presumably that meant us as in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio where many thousands of jobs have been lost. How does that square with campaign ads that hold Democrats responsible for losing those same jobs...hmmm.. apparently the problem is the American workers aren't competitive. The Bush speech in Pakistan reminded me of the movie hustle and flow and it's hip hop MOVIE THEME it might have been LIKE THIS:
IT'S HARD OUT HERE FO' A PRESIDENT
MAKIN JOBS FO' THE NON-RESIDENT
The war in Iraq got started because of an imminent threat of attack with weapons of mass destruction. Turned out the weapons and the threat were non-existent. Vice President Chaney in particular asserted that Saddam was in league with the terrorists and the 9/11 attacks--turns out Saddam was harder on terrorists in Iraq than we have been-- there pretty much weren't any -- Saddam apparently didn't allow competition. Sad part is that the people would certainly have followed their President in the wake of 9/11-- why in the world would one need to resort to possibly misleading statements-- a recent Times Poll shows that 52% feel we were deliberately misled-- is it possible to exceed an unlimited budget and misuse unconditional trust? So in October,
I wonder, if folks will remember
these little things come November...
