The President is Mocking You and Me

Yesterday, President Bush gave a speech in which his tone was so dismissive of many patriotic Americans that I wanted to slap his face. He said those who opposed his pro-torture bill don't have the stomach to fight the war on terror. Never forget that when the President mocks our elected representatives, he's mocking us. And because of the complicity of the main stream media, he's going to get away with this baloney.

"Five years after 9/11, the worst attack on the American homeland in our history, Democrats offer nothing but criticism and obstruction and endless second-guessing," Bush said at a Republican fundraiser.

"The party of FDR and the party of Harry Truman has become the party of cut and run," Bush told a convention-center audience of over 2,000 people. The event put $2.5 million in the campaign accounts of Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and the state GOP.

Now, look at how the AP characterized the bill, which even allows rape as an acceptable "interrogation" technique, and tell me whether you think the average voter would understand the danger in which the Republicans have just placed this country:

The president also criticized House Democrats, including their leadership, who voted this week against a White House plan for interrogating, detaining and trying terrorists. "We must give our professionals the tools they need to protect the American people in this war on terror and those in the House of Representatives were wrong to vote against this bill," he said.

Note his use of the word "professionals." Funny that the professionals from the CIA actually refused to continue their oversight of our interrogation of detainees because it was too harsh. I wonder what kind of professionals the President intends to employ.
