Presidential Class

I just want us to all imagine for five seconds what the press would be saying if Cowboy Bush had uttered the "kick ass" phrase with regards to ANYthing.

Between Biden's insisting that healthcare legislation was a big f***ing deal, Obama insisting that somebody plug the damn hole, and his desire to kick someone's ass, I'm kinda starting to miss the days when presidents pretended to be above the "average" man. When they hid the fact that they used words like that because they wanted it to appear to the rest of the world that the leader of the U.S. had class.

Between his staffers' beer parties . . .

and his celebrity soirees . . .

I'm wondering if we're watching a frat party or an administration concerned with running a country.

I'm not opposed to the staffers taking some time off to relax, of course, I'm just saying remember when we had presidents that cared about appearances? Remember when the press expected the president to show how much he cared that the country was going through devastating times?

I'm beginning to think we've really just elected a celebrity in chief. And the press have forgotten the standards they held up just a couple of short years ago.

That's okay. I'm sure they'll remember them next time a Republican's in office.

Crist Is All About The Change, Isn't He?

I suppose he's given himself permission to bail on his supposed pro-life confessions as well.

First, "I will not run as an independent." Yeah, right. Shoulda said, "I will not run as an independent unless I find out for sure that the voters don't want me. Then I will surely screw the party by changing my mind, even though right now I'm telling you I certainly will not be running as an independent."

Now he's evidently planning on vetoing the supposedly controversial pro-life bill. Wouldn't want to hack off any of those new possible Democratic voters, now would we? Pro-life, shmo-life.

And here's why the bill is so "controversial": it requires a woman actually make an informed decision on whether or not she wants to abort her child. She must get an ultra sound. The catch is they're saying she'll have to pay for it, but anyone who knows anything about a Crisis Pregnancy Center knows that a large portion of them give women free ultra sounds of their child. So that they will know that it's, ya know, a child.

So then why are the pro-choice activists so worried about a woman being able to actually make an INFORMED choice?????? If they are so confident that women want to be in control of their decisions, and are also confident that a woman should have a choice to abort their child, then why are they so concerned that a woman should have all the information necessary to make the most informed decision possible?

Maybe they prefer Planned Parenthood's way of dealing with young girls and under-informed women.
