You want a war buddy? Well you got yourself one. It is on now! With your track record in battle the odds are stacked against you. You lost your oil company, Sammy Sosa, Afghanistan is a mess and we all know about Iraq.
Today Jerome a Paris on DailyKos wrote a brilliant article on Bush's speech. The highlighted portion below shows what Bush is really saying behind the rhetoric. Bush's thinking is in bold.
Shared responsibility
"Together, we have a chance to serve the American people by solving the complex problems that many don't expect us to tackle, let alone solve, in the partisan environment of today's Washington. To do that, however, we can't play politics as usual. Democrats will control the House and Senate, and therefore we share the responsibility for what we achieve."
Now that you won, you are responsible for everything I fucked up and will fuck up, but you should not be nasty like we were when we had all the power, because that would not be nice.
That mix of whiny contempt and breathless arrogance is quite typical of this administration.
I believe
"I believe that when America is willing to use her influence abroad, the American people are safer and the world is more secure."
When we bomb the shit out of furners, we scare the shit out of the rest of the world, and that's good.
"I believe that wealth does not come from government. It comes from the hard work of America's workers, entrepreneurs and small businesses."
Money comes from workers, and stays with companies and their shareholders, as it should be, because we destroyed the government's ability to have a sane economic policy.
There is plenty more in the article, go ahead and read it.
