Last week on Larry King Live, President George Herbert-Walker Bush, otherwise known as Bush 41, said that America may be getting tired of the Bush family. I tend to agree with him, and I don't really even remember when Bush 41 was President. I can tell you that I am certainly sick of this one.
President Bush issued a warning to Congress Friday, saying that he will indeed veto the defense spending bill, due to the October 1st withdrawal from Iraq stipulation. Now, we all know that the President doesn't "read newspapers or watch the news", but I've always believed he's lying. But maybe he's right. I don't think he accurately grasps exactly how many people want out of Iraq. The number of Republicans who support the war drop every time another poll is released. Many of the American public have spoke out against it, as have most of the elected officials. We can no longer continue on the track we are on. But the President must not understand this.
Somebody give Bush 50 cents for a newspaper.
Vetoing this spending bill is foolish. It provides enough money to fund the troops until October, technically probably longer. Bush needs to either sign this into law, which he openly said he won't do, so it falls upon conservative Congressmen to, God-forbid, vote the way that represents a majority of their constituents, instead of the platform of the GOP.
Since the President isn't willing to listen to the American people, the job of correcting Iraq now falls upon the shoulders several elected legislatures. And that still doesn't comfort me.
