ZERO's Speech's Today

After hearing some of what ZERO said today, I now know what this old saying meant.

When I was growing up I heard this a lot during election time.

"HE Talk's Like Someone With A Paper ASSHOLE"!!

I NEVER heard such an accumulation of Gloom and Doom and Woe is Me in my life.

I also watched Chaney's speech. If this was intended to be a debate, the Messiah got his clock cleaned.

An old SF Major told me one time: "Some Commanders Command Respect, Other Commanders Demand it".

Todays two speeches were proof positive.

He's still pointing the finger at former President Bush; it must be so tiring for him.

Doesn't he know the election is over, and now it's his "mess" to "fix"?

Doesn't matter that he owns it now blaming Bush is just about the only option he has, the one's in so far over his head that he'll continue to point his finger and blame Bush for the next 3.5 years as the country suffers. I can only hope the sheeple will get it at some point before the next election; unfortunately I don't see that happening.

It's just ridiculous, every president since the first has inherited the "mess" of the previous administration. Oh boo hoo, take your toys and go home if you can't be an adult and deal.

He pointed out 28 times (according to a reporter from Fox News) that basically it was "the previous administration's fault". Wonder who he's going to go tattle to.

I counted seven references to Bush and/or the previous administration. He's going to be blaming Bush during his next campaign, but I'm not sure he ever got out of the previous campaign.

I completely concur, look at Bush, he inherited the national security mess that Clinton left him, 8 years of failing to retaliate while we were attacked over and over again by Muslim extremists both at home and abroad. Yet when the towers fell you didn't hear Bush whining about how jacked up the world and our national security situation was due to Clintons incompetence or neglect, he just went to work making the tough calls that kept this country safe. I don't agree with many of the things Bush did, but at least he had the stones to actually make a decision, instead of kicking the can down the road by watching the polls and creating a commission to study what to do.

Nothing is simple, but some decisions are, like not bringing terrorists into the US, we've got plenty here already to deal with, importing more is not the answer, that one is a no brainer, yet they can't seem to figure it out.

It's time for some on the left to Man the F$% up, they've got all the power now and no one to blame but themselves as our country spirals into utter chaos.
