George,

This president must get it through his head that these ideologues are like cannibals just waiting for the opportunity to eat him alive--they will lie, distort, rave and do everything from their Josef Goebbels-inspired playbook (with a Karl Rove polish) to see that he fails; if it means the nation fails, so be it, just "collateral damage."

Obama gave it a reasonable go and they spit in his face--time to kick them under the bus! He has the overwhelming majority of Americans supporting him.

What is extremely disturbing is how many so-called "patriotic" Americans buy in to this phony hypocrisy and propaganda.

Sure, the true believers who we know would support a goat if it had the GOP label, but ordinary Americans who are suffering because of them? Mind boggling!

These same Right Wing obstructionists "rubber stamped" BILLIONS for Iraq, much of which is unaccounted for. The bi-partisan General Accounting Office estimates the long term cost for the obscene Iraq war will hit at or above three TRILLION dollars! and these ghouls are making a big deal over grass seed for the Mall in front of the capital!

The only consolation is, as I wrote, their consistent ability to get it wrong, throughout history.

The party of naysayers led by Dr.No (Rush Limbaugh), will be wrong again, so I am keeping the faith!
