I posted this comment in
Tressa's journal just before 9:00 yesterday morning. Scant minutes after the election was conceded to Mr. Bush:"I can't wait for them to start going around polishing their "mandate" from the voters."
And, of course, here’s a little comment made to the press shortly thereafter:
"President Bush ran forthrightly on a clear agenda for this nation’s future, and the nation responded by giving him a mandate." –Vice President Cheney.
Ugh! Can I call them, or what?
I've been depressed and can't snap out of it.
ReplyDeleteI'll show them a mandate. :-(
ReplyDeleteHow about yesterday's Bush comment, something to the effect of, "I now have political capital, and I'm going to spend it".....ugh.
ReplyDeletewhat political capital? Isn't capital what you have left to invest after the bills are paid...so what did he get 1 to 3 %.....
ReplyDeleteHe spent that by raising the debt ceiling. It's all gone now...like our civil rights!
