"Strict-Obstructionism", The President, and His Party
Whether it is national security, and I mean REAL national security, or finding the real root cause to the Katrina non-response, or many other things, I have found that President George W. Bush is a "strict obstructionist".

Want to know the details of the Dubai port scandal? You get nothing but canned talking points from Dubya, McClellan, Cheney, or whoever. These talking points are the hallmark of "strict-obstructionism".

Want answers about why Dubya was playing guitar out west while people were drowning by the minute in New Orleans? "No one could have anticipated those levees breaking." Of course we now know FOR SURE that this was a strict-obstructionist lie.

Want to know who in the White House leaked Valerie Plame's name to the media, to out a covert CIA operative for political revenge? Well, no one. Or at least no one that will survive working in the WH if they are found out? "OK, maybe we won't fire them, but we will...well, lets just wait and see what the investigation shows.....ok, Scooter, you take the fall.....Cheney doesn't even KNOW Scooter...are you kidding me?" Stict-obstructionist.

Why didn't we know that the VP almost killed his friend with a gun? Hell, everything that came out of anybody's mouth over that was stict-obstuctionism.

Want some oversight from the party in power over the president who is the leader of said party, when he continues to go over the deep end on everything, including ripping up The Constitution of the United States, with unconstitutional wiretapping or working to stack the SCOTUS, and stealing power and authority from the legislative branch that these people control that gives him near dictatorial power over them and the rest of us? "Sorry, he's our guy, and we'll goosestep with him down any strasse." Very strict-obstructionist, wouldn't you say?

And on and on. Also, lets see how SCOTUS rules on the obviously illegal gerrymandering of the Great State of Texas by Tom DeLay and his henchmen in the state legislature, which gave the Republicans and even greater majority by SIX seats in the house, and see if the new Bush appointees are "strict-constructionists", or as I imagine they will be, "strict-OBSTRUCTIONIST".

What do you think?
