I have one more question for you that tells the whole story of how useless you and your colleagues have become.
On the Don Imus show last week, Imus was killing Bush for not being smart enough, curious enough and caring enough to read the newspaper or watch TV, especially around the time when Katrina was destroying parts of his country.
Can you explain why your colleague Senator Chris Dodd argued for Bush, saying to Imus that he [Imus] has no idea how insulated a president can be, being pushed and shoved into and out of limousines and on and off Air Force One? What kind of stupid answer is that. Instead, he should have said that Bush is lazy, arrogant and totally uncaring of Americans who don't belong to Country Clubs. It appears that he and you and all your colleagues are afraid to say that, afraid to say the truth. That's why I have no desire to vote for the Democrats you and your party present to us. That's why if I never see John Kerry again, after his joke of a campaign it will be too soon, and that is exactly why you lose and will continue to lose.
So, please let me know what you think of these supportive statements a/k/a Bush spin trying to make the worst president ever look good by people like Dodd, Lieberman and Biden.
Also, while you are at it, I'd like an answer why you voted to confirm Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State? Was it because of the great job she did as National Security Advisor and supervised during a time when threats to our security were totally ignored. Was it because she was so capable of telling Bush what she thought and that she was not just another water boy for the dumbest human being ever to occupy the oval office? Perhaps you voted to confirm her for her honesty, like when she said "We had no way of knowing al Qaeda would use a plane as a missile." So Senator Obama, tell me why you wanted Rice as Secretary of State and why Dodd stopped Imus from tearing Bush apart with Bush spin? Without those kinds of answers and guarantees that things like that won't happen again, I will go apple picking in early November instead of voting and I encourage my fellow democrats to give you spineless egomaniacs the same kind of ultimatum.
And one more thing, do you realize what your collective laid back responses have done to the press? How can you expect the press to get tough if you and your fellow Democrats not only fail to show up but instead support and strongly defend Bush. You are the ones who must set the tone and we must tell you what we want. We don't want more of the same, it does not work. Every single Democrat should have screamed from every channel that Karl Rove should have been removed from the Administration and especially stripped of his high security clearance. Did you? Did your colleagues do it and if so, how many? You guys don't do that stuff and that's why we cannot stomach the thought of you wimping-out every time. Don't you have any pride and a desire to win?
