Bring Back the Adults

[stepnw1f]

These idiots are going to get us all killed!

1. They WERE supposed to be the adults

Do you remember how one of the main talking points of the Bushies during the 2000 campaign was that if they won, the adults would be in charge again?

To illustrate this, they even criticized the fact that the Clinton White House lets its staffers were casual clothes (image that) when coming to work at the WH on the weekend.

And remember Dick Cheney saying to Clinton/Gore at the Repug Convention: "You haven't led. We will." Also, I will never forget that on the night before the 2001 Inauguration, Janet Parshall was on tv saying "Tomorrow we will breath clean air again and I can't wait."

Now other people are just now realizing what WE on here on DU knew all long: the adults haven't been in charge these past 5 years.

2. And one thing I forgot to add....

Remember that Bush and his cronies bragged about him being the first M.B.A. president. In 2000, they said if Bush won, he would run the government like a business, with him as the CEO. And he would demand accountability.

He has done none of that, obviously.

Michael Brown becomes FEMA Chief because he was Joe Albaugh's colleage roomie. I don't call that running the government like a business.

3. You're Completely Wrong!

I'm being sarcastic, of course, but he ruined every business he ever ran. So, he IS running the country like a business. Or at least he's running the country the way he incompetently ran the businesses he ruined. We're agreeing, i just couldn't resist.

4. LOL! Actually, you raise a very valid point.

He didn't know how to run his own businesses. Hell, he couldn't even find oil in Texas, for crying out loud (at least that's what I heard).

So he is running the country like he ran his businesses: as a miserable failure!

You're absolutely right!!!

6. Not a Failure!

This is intentional and everything this fucker is doing, he wants. Don't for a second think he's that incompetent. The destruction of our credibility, our government, is deliberate.

They are getting close to making our system of government obsolete. To privatize and control.

[journalist3072]

8. I couldn't agree more! You hit the nail on the head

He wants to do away with the federal government.

And trust me, as a federal employee of the United States government, I take that seriously.

They want to do away with the civil service GS scale, for example. They want to do away with the yearly cost-of-living raises, and do "pay for performance" (which I worry can be highly subjective).

And with the OMB A-76 studies, they are outsourcing our work to the private industry. It's awful.

10. Gutting Government from within...

while expanding our military. All while filling their piggy banks. They have to be stopped.

7. I can even remember the Repubs making fun of Clinton's WH

because when they were up late working, they frequently ordered pizza! Horrors!

But the truth is that Clinton and his staff had a much higher regard for studying, obtaining knowledge, and using that knowledge for the common good. The Bush WH is incredibly arrogant about its refusal to listen to people who know what they're talking about. Who were the adults again?
