It ain't pretty

I'm a Kansas boy from Erie. I read Will Manly's Republican-oriented column, which I found to apparently be completely out of touch and clueless, just like our inept, worthless, do-nothing president.

You seem to overlook all his blunders, major mistakes, the crooks and perverts in D.C., the deception, two recessions, two wars, lost jobs and no jobs, highest gouging of big oil, high gas, groceries prices along with everything else, and you knock the Demos. Bush says we're winning the war, he says it's only a slow period -- duh. He is clueless and out of touch. Americans are hurting, and he neglects, has no vision, doesn't look ahead and out in front of anything, and is a poor manager. In fact, he can't manage anything -- he's a shock-and-awe guy, all fluff and no stuff.

All you got to do is look at the facts look around and see what we have had for more than seven years -- now we got a major disaster right before our very eyes and possibly looking at a third war already planned. Now tell me how many billions spent? He spends like there's no tomorrow. Tell me about immigration, where he again does nothing. Now he is hell-bent on helping Myanmar, when he couldn't get ships to the Gulf and didn't help New Orleans, then he flies on the carrier in his cute little flight suit, background says "Mission Accomplished" when he never was a fighter pilot to begin with, in fact a service dodger at best. He says we're close to winning the war. He neglected Afghanistan to go into Iraq now we're back fighting again there. What does he do about Iran shoving it in our face killing our boys? Nothing. Then he gets on TV with George Washington's picture in the background and another time Andrew Jackson in New Orleans. He thinks he's George Washington crossing the Delaware, and he can't even get across the Gulf to New Orleans.

Well, Will, I could go on and on and on, but bottom line is we're in big trouble from this little fella. Yup, the crater is as deep as that big Kansas well in Greensburg, far bigger that it will take many years to get things in alignment. Feeding the rich and trickle down economics don't work, never have. Two Bushes gave us three recessions!

Nope it ain't pretty.
