I just really love this video and the fact that a politician made this. Sure, it's a bit dorky, but he leaves nothing out. Tragically, in a month or two he'll probably have fodder for one or two more videos just like this. I never heard of Steve Young or this video before today, and this may not be a "proper" diary, but I just wanted to share it. It rocks, folks.
I'm quoting Steve from his website-
I offer the alternative. I want America’s house in order again. Together, we can do better. Before the Democrats left the White House in 2001, America was a beacon on a hill. We had enjoyed the longest economic expansion in history. We had the strongest economic growth, one of the lowest inflation rates, the fastest rate of job creation, and the largest real increase in real, after-tax personal income since World War II. We enjoyed the highest level of business investment in history, and America had renewed its leadership in developing the vast new opportunities in science and technology. America was on the move during an era of opportunity for everyone.
We are coming to the end of one of the most destructive administrations in American history. Bush and Republican Congress took America into a disastrous adventure in Iraq, allowed a major city to drown and remain in disrepair, plundered our national treasury, trampled on our Constitution, destroyed our prestige abroad, and increased the number and plight of the poor.
Is it me, or are all the creative minds always to the left? (RIP George Carlin)
