Tornado Alley (PROG)

I wonder if our Democrat friends would have approved
if George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an
iPod containing videos of his speeches?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi
Arabia, would they have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made
reference to the non-existent "Austrian language,"
would they have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle
of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep
current on their income taxes, would they have
approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO
of a major corporation, even though he had no
constitutional authority to do so, would they have
approved?

If George W. Bush had a Republican Congress allocate
5.6 Billion dollars for a civilian volunteer
security force, as strong and well equipped as the
regular Army and under his personal authority, would
they have been concerned?

If George W. Bush had proposed doubling the national
debt in one year, which had taken more than two
centuries to accumulate, would they have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed doubling the
debt again within 10 years, would they have approved
that?

If George W. Bush had promised detailed tracking of
the spending from a $785 Billion Stimulus Bill and
then postponed that oversight until 2010, would they
approve or would they think something "smelled
fishy"? If Bush had promised 48 hour advance posting
of the same bill on the internet and only released
it two hours before congressional approval, would
they wonder what was being hidden from the public?

If Bush's White House Staff had spent over $300,000
flying Airforce One low over New York (for a
publicity photo flyby with the Statue of Liberty)
frightening the city, would they have approved?

If George W. Bush had been "addicted" to using a
TelePrompTer, and was afraid to give a speech
without having one, would they have approved ? Would
they still think he was intelligent?

If George W. Bush had pre-approved/pre-picked the
list of reporters allowed to ask questions at his
press conferences and refused to call on the
correspondent from MSNBC (FOX with Obama), would
they have approved? Is that a Fair and Balanced news
conference?

If George W. Bush and a Republican Congress had
given hundreds of millions of dollars to a group
(the right-wing equivalent of ACORN) after its
members had been convicted of voter registration
fraud, would they approve of them to doing the 2010
Census, which will determine congressional districts
for 10 years? Will they trust ACORN in 2010?

Would they have approved of George W. Bush moving
the Census from the Dept. of Commerce into the White
House and putting his Chief of Staff in control of
the counting?

He's done all this and we still have over three
years full of surprises. I would expect many more
items will be added to this list.

They got what they wanted... I wonder if they still
want what they got...
