The excuse of the "tired" administration

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

As I hear the same old talking heads pontificate about how the Bush White House must be "tired", and how exhausting all their work has been, I can't help but ask: Is that really the problem? Would bringing new people in solve anything?

Could it be the indictments of Rove and Libby, the president and vice president's top advisors, for treasonous behaviour that has caused the distractions?


Actually, this may be appealing to believe, but i think it is something else:

It is a failure of policy. The Bush's have enacted their policies flawlessly, and we are seeing the results. We are bogged down in an unwinnable war, which most sensible people knew would happen. We are seeing record setting deficits, which is what happens when you wage war and cut taxes at the same time. We are seeing a lack of response to the poor after Katrina, which is what happens when you have an administration who doesn't believe the government should help the poor. We see an economy with a higher number of super rich, a higher number of poor, and a vanishing middle class, which is what happens when you shift the tax burden from the upper classes to the middle classes.


the Bush administration has carried out everything just fine. The problem is the policy, not the execution.
