Honestly, you’ve gotta love the man’s political huevos! He stood right there, right in front of America’s most sacred documents, and lied to the American people.
Now, over the last several weeks, we have seen a return of the politicization of these issues that have characterized the last several years. I understand that these problems arouse passions and concerns. They should. We are confronting some of the most complicated questions that a democracy can face. But I have no interest in spending our time re-litigating the policies of the last eight years. I want to solve these problems, and I want to solve them together as Americans.
Gee, so…why’d President Obama hold his speech today, at that hour? Because he knew that Vice President Cheney was going to defend his name, his honor, his legacy, and his innocence, and he wanted to pre-emptively attack those same things. He wanted to divide and distract the nation on a day when awful economic numbers came out (higher unemployment, higher unemployment rate, longer unemployment expected, unemployment expected to rise, new home sales down, existing home sales down, GDP lower than expected, stimulus doing nothing, and….my favorite, number of homeowner families helped by Obama/Dem homeowner rescue package over past 5months:1 per CNN).
Somehow, I’m skeptical of calls for unity that come in a political attack speech. Call me crazy.
