It took less than 4 1/2 years of the Obama presidency for President George W. Bush to mount his comeback. While doing absolutely nothing on his own behalf (he’s been the most silent ex-president in my lifetime), his approval is up to 47 percent according to The Post/ABC poll. That’s up 14 points from his [...]

Showtime’s Dick Cheney Doc Reveals What Obama and Hillary Clinton Did in Resurrecting America’s Foreign Policy Brand
“If you’re a man of principle, compromise is a bit of a dirty word. The President made the decision that he wanted to avoid major controversy. It was his call, so that’s what we did.” – Dick Cheney on George W. Bush’s decision to reverse himself on warrantless wiretaps when he finds out what Cheney [...]
Benghazi? We’re Still Waiting for Bush and Cheney to be Held Accountable for Iraq. [Rachel Maddow Videos]
Hagel saw that, in Iraq, America was taking on an already weakened leader who the senator said probably didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, and at the same time empowering another regime (Iran) that badly wanted WMDs–a dire development further documented on Monday by The Washington Post, which reported that the Iranian-backed Shiite group Asaib [...]
Top Story: The Bush Administration and 9/11
THE VIDEO above is old, condensed, too, with the pictures, tale and music I wove together now burned into our history and our memories, so the quick flip from scene to quote and back again seen in a rush simply reminds us of how quickly we lost what we once cherished, when fear replaced all [...]
Condoleezza Rice Enters Politics, Just Don’t Tell Her
CLASS ACT alert. Condoleezza Rice should prepare herself, because the Republican Party in California has been comatose since Pete Wilson’s governorship. She’s just the woman who might bring it back. She’s an abortion rights advocate, incredibly adept, with her domestic passion education, which she calls the civil rights issue of our time. Who can argue [...]

Mitt Romney’s Palin Problem Is a Republican Women’s Issue
“I’m sure I’m not the only one accepting consequences for calling out both sides of the aisle for spending too much money, putting us on the road to bankruptcy, and engaging in crony capitalism.” … “In accepting those consequences,” [Sarah Palin] added, “one must remember this isn’t Sadie Hawkins and you don’t invite yourself and [...]
Romney Under Siege
The adviser added: “We aren’t reacting to what the Obama campaign does. … We aren’t reacting to what Republican strategists do. We’ve got a plan to win. We know what it takes and that’s what we’re going to do. All of this hew and cry, you know, from the bedwetters who get to sit on [...]
All Things Obama Versus Romney
THE JOBS REPORT knocked Obamacare out of the conversation, rescuing Mitt Romney from himself. Unemployment remains at 8.2%, with 80,000 jobs created in June. What’s even more interesting is that Politico went out of their way to post Ralph Nader’s post from July 5th, delighting in their chosen headline, “Ralph Nader: ‘Cowering’ Democrats face defeat.” [...]
Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the Set Up for Sarah Palin
Asked where she disagrees with President Obama on foreign policy, she said she understands “how hard it is to be in the White House,” but said the United States cannot “lead from behind.” “The United States has to have a view, it has to gather people around that view, and frankly, I think we need [...]
Newly Declassified NSA Docs Reveal Bush and Cheney Ignored Early Warnings Before 9/11
Many of the documents publicize for the first time what was first made clear in the 9/11 Commission: The White House received a truly remarkable amount of warnings that al-Qaida was trying to attack the United States. From June to September 2001, a full seven CIA Senior Intelligence Briefs detailed that attacks were imminent, an [...]
Condi’s Adviser: ‘War Crimes’ Were Committed
Documents now made public prove that Philip Zelikow told the Bush administration that their policy of “enhanced interrogations” amounted to felony war crimes. That means the policies Pres. Obama followed after Bush, also ignoring the warnings, are too. The State Department adviser under Secy. Condoleezza Rice, Philip Zelikow, describes himself as “Rice’s policy representative to [...]
Hillary and Joe, Condi vs. Joe
The rumors are flying around the internets. Robert Reich reveals the Democratic panic deep within the insiders by pushing a Hillary – Biden switch. He’s just the latest. The subject of a Biden – Hillary switch makes my book, but I’ve yet to read anyone address the damage it would do to Pres. Obama, who [...]
Condoleezza Rice Bedeviled by Bush Again
Banning Arab parties in the upcoming election? Stunning. …and incredibly stupid. The good news is that it actually makes Olmert’s move on Bush against Condoleezza Rice almost recede from view. Almost. But it sure reminds you of the serial failures Rice has suffered under a president that never seems willing to let her do her [...]
Condi the Incompetent Resurfaces
Today Ms. Rice earned the title I gave her many years ago. This woman has been in over her head since Bush appointed her as national security adviser. But this interview on “Face the Nation” strains all reality. She didn’t know that we were to “preemptively strike” inside Afghanistan in the summer of 2001? This [...]
