The Bush Legacy

January 8, 2009

Among the failures of the Bush administration, the economic tragedy of 2008 will trump the War in Iraq, the shortfalls of the “No Child Left Behind” program, and the failure to provide adequate health care coverage for our children (SCHIP).

It Ain’t Over Until It’s Over… 71 Days to Go

November 9, 2008

Since the election night speech Barack Obama delivered in Grant Park, every newscaster and pundit have been busy trying to analyze absolutely nothing. In fact, the Sunday morning talk shows were a clinical study of speculation and probing with no results worthy of news coverage.
Rahn Emanuel surfaced to take questions. As the probing [...]

Bush Economic Plan Much Like Bush War Plan… Non-Existent

October 11, 2008

I don’t want to spread more gloom and doom. We have all seen its spread almost endlessly on the television lately.

July 16, 2008

“Evecutive privilege” and “signing statement”, closely followed by “veto” have fast become words or phrases that come from the administration on a daily basis for one reason or another.  We have heard about signing statements almost every time Bush has signed into law anything that he didn’t 100% agree with.  Veto has been his stamp [...]

White House Negligence Offends Italy

July 8, 2008

With only six months to go with this administration, it seems that the Bush White House has yet to learn the Principle of the 7P’s.  It would take too much of my time to name all the gaffes that have come from the present White House so I will leave that to your own stroll [...]

March 29: Week in Review

March 29, 2008

The Easter week off in Washington may have stopped the Congress, but I’m getting the feeling that there are still some hidden eggs on the White House lawn.
I discovered that being a typical white woman isn’t so bad.  But, according to the polls, I’m not so typical for my age.  I’m not a Clinton supporter.  [...]
