Random thoughts...I'll keep this brief.
JFK said "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
BHO's actions say "Ask not what you can do for yourself; ask what the country must do to you."
GWB was an ivy-league educated man who was not entirely successful running businesses.
BHO is an ivy-league educated man who has never failed at running any business because he has no experience in business at all. In fact, he seems to have no education whatsoever in the business arena. He certainly has no instinct for it. He certainly has no use for it in America.
GWB was routinely lambasted by organized protestors who tried to shout him down. His response? "I love free speech!"
Proponents of BHO's policies are being confronted by protestors. Their response, echoed by the administration?
"These are thugs."
"These are angry mobs."
"No protestors I ever saw dressed this well."
"They were holding swastikas."
"They're not grass roots; they're astroturf."
and from the inmous AARP meeting ...
"We're here to listen to you, so shut the heck up!"
I'm paraphrasing, but the key words (mobs, astroturf, etc.) and thoughts are all accurate.
