"The Denial continues"

Sure, I posted "Get ready for President McCain and Vice President Palin, but that was just to rile up Madverts, smith and Sushi. I also posted "McCain is toast!" and that it would be an Obama landslide. ( I was wrong about the landslide )

I'm sure Madverts can find those posts. He's good at finding posts going back years heh heh ...

Sarge, so you still think mccain and Palin would have been good for America? :-)

If so, why were they whumped out of the ballpark by your countrymen?

Surely the majority of your countrymen who voted for Obama can't ALL be wrong???

1.2 million jobs lost this year, 651,000 jobs in the last 3 months alone.

Another 'success' for bush to notch up on his bedpost in Crawford :-)

Why is bush leaving such a mangled trainwreck of an economy for President-Elect Barack Obama do deal with?

Seems like bush was just a clueless idiot, as Dems and most of the world have known since the get go. :-)

But the Republicans just din't seem to get it.

“This will also be America’s first wartime presidential transition in four decades,” he said. “We’re in a struggle against violent extremists determined to attack us, and they would like nothing more than to exploit this period of change to harm the American people.”

Talk about fear... always the old speech of Bush

Because, just like you, they're lemmings to the leftist MSM.

Instead of looking at the reasons the GOP took another "thumping" at the polls, personal attacks and heresay rule the day.

After months of the most viscous and vile personal attacks against McCain and Palin, the leftists are now trying to take the high road here. I'll be more than happy to pull up some of the past posts if you want to go there.

Yes.

Wottock - I see you conveniently left out "but that was just to rile up Madverts, smith and Sushi." I should have included you. Sorry.

Sarge, so you are now railing against the majority of your countrymen by claiming everyone who ovted for Obama is wrong?

Is that how you see it?

I see them as deluded. As in they were fooled by a sham. By the medias portrayal of him as this great savior. Its only now we're starting to get more details. Now that the elections over, some of the media is entering the cover their butts phase, and actually running background stories on the guy. lol. Little late now though Brokaw!

"By the medias portrayal of him as this great savior."

you can say that again.

this is from the opening paragraph of the feature article in the latest issue of time magazine, gushing about obama:

"Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope."

SushiSake3 - "Surely the majority of your countrymen who voted for Obama can't ALL be wrong???"

Sarge - "Yes."

That includes patriotic former Sec. of State Gen. Colin Powell.

You're saying he got it wrong, too??

From everything I have heard Bush has been doing a good job on making this a smooth, safe and secure transition. In this particular instance it would appear that he is putting his country first. The importance is paramount if you have seen the statistics for terrorist attacks close to an election (not just in the U.S.). It is also vital that there be no gap in our efforts to save our struggling economy.

The Bush administration has already arranged security clearances for key Obama transition staffers and is providing work space and policy briefings as well.

The reports I saw earlier in the week said that Bush's efforts are far beyond any actions just for show. It is good to see a unified effort in our nation's best interests. I briefly saw a CIA official say that Bush directed them to give Obama the full briefing and it sounded to me like Obama had great access to intelligence.

It is very clear that Bush has the authority to handle these matters however he chooses. Fortunately he appears to be putting his last, best foot forward.

while the Bush doctrine and performance can be judged very harshly, the man himself has been unfairly maligned and it is no surprise to anyone paying attention that his love for his country prevented him from slinking around on his belly like most of his critics.
