Subject: Presidential comparison quiz
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Julie, Julie, Julie! How scary can things be? I knew electing Obama could lead to no good, but what floors me is the blindness of America. We shall see what happens in 2010.
I just don't know what to say. I can say I did NOT vote for him.
I'm not overly upset with some of Obama's mistakes(but a few...yes), though a friend with a special needs child explained more fully why what Obama said about the Special Olympics really cannot be given a pass, & I now agree. I do get your point here,& I've often mentioned that myself, not about Obama vs Bush but about many things liberal vs conservative & Republican vs Democrat. What is good for one(or not good enough) is good(or not) for another- but it never plays out that way. All the shame & ridicule of anyone who doesn't agree with ME stances are pathetic. ~Mary
