Presidents' Interviews

Our presidents--past, present, and future--sure have been in the news a lot recently. Interviews and tapes are flooding the media.

First, there's crazy ol' Richard M. (Nixon) and his "enemies" ravings. And Lyndon B. (Johnson)talking trash about Nixon ("treason"). Jimmy (Carter) is peddling his new book. There are frequent sprinkles of JFK, Ronnie (Reagan), and G.B, the First. Bill J. (Clinton), never short on words, has been espousing his legacy.

Then, of course, King George, the W, has been showing his soft side with Laura sitting next to him. Have you noticed how he never takes the blame for anything? Iraq? "Bad intelligence". The economy? "Wall Street". On Obama winning? "The Republicans". Not him, of course. What an egomaniac.

And there's the ever present Barack: announcing daily his staff, fielding questions, being interviewed (Brokaw on Meet the Press, etc.). Unlike Bush, at least he's already saying "the buck stops here". I sure wish he was a more fluent speaker (without a written script). It's getting on my nerves.

One last note. Those three CEOs of the "Big Three" sure looked like sad puppies crawling to the Senate hearing with their tails between their legs. I never saw a more pathetic bunch of beggars. Question: If schools can shut down for weeks and months, then reopen, why can't car factories? Temporarily, no new cars, no salaries, nothing. That solution is too easy, and I realize it can't be done, but it sounds good! Lots of luck America.

Thoughtful post- and the comments blew me away! Right after 911 it was considered unpatriotic to criticize Bush. Are we in the 'do anything except criticize Obama' stage/ phase? Isn't it possible to love him and still admit to his limitations?

I do like Teal's answer! I like Obama. He's doing quite a lot to get ready to take over the mess! I think he'll hit the ground running on day one. That's a phrase I'm really REALLY tired of... The former prezes... I guess they need something to do. Too much time on their hands (except Nixon and Johnson).

Dear Randy, I have no trouble with Obama's rhetoric. None of it ever rings false and I don't care if he has memorized what he wrote earlier or is extemporaneous. Stop whining. We have an intelligent, focused, brave new leader and you are carping. You can't have perfection. It isn't in the by-laws of the human condition.
