Bill Siegel at the National Review vents his spleen in a new article that makes the case that Barack Obama as President will be nothing more than a third term of the Bush Administration. There are a million holes in his quite lengthy argument, but it is well written and I think indicative of both the current state of the Republican Party and the antipathy that they hold for the current Chief Executive. Very angry. Now you know how we feel - but isn't it considered quite crass to start bemoaning the character of the corpse while the body is still warm?
A section from the piece:
...Axelrod’s ceaseless refrain of “McCain is a third Bush term” has been Obama’s “go to” attack. Democrats have been led to believe that after this election, no longer will we Americans (much less our highly valued allies who have had to suffer right along with us) have to put up with a president who came into office without relevant experience. One who had used drugs and alcohol more than experimentally and who only came to find God later in life. One who spends an inordinate amount of time exercising and vacationing. One who has had lifelong psychological issues concerning his father. One who is so stubborn and inflexible that he is unwilling to admit his mistakes. Nor will we have to live with a president so naïve about the world. One forced to select an aged and “experienced” running mate to lend his ticket gravitas. Worse yet, one who believes people worldwide yearn for liberty and would foolishly make that yearning a cornerstone of U.S. policy. Nor will we have to put up with a leader who would take his eye off the ball in one war to go fight another one of choice elsewhere. We won’t have to put up with a president who is choreographed by a behind-the-scenes wizard of presumed “evil” intent — one who measures what the public can be sold and how to play on their fears for maximum advantage. No more propping up an obviously unqualified candidate to serve the agenda of the powerful.
Unless, of course, Obama wins.
Sayonara, GOP
