At the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence today, our esteemed President, W, took it upon himself to use a pivotal foreign relations platform for mere partisan purposes.  On a stage ripe with the opportunity to declare all-too important words of solidarity and world unity, he chose to divide not only our country, but the world as a whole.  This is our President.  A man that has already won the gold medal for divisiveness before this sickening new display of his anti-talent.  A man that started a bloody war based on lies.  A man that weilded his power toward crippling those who attempted to expose such lies.  A man that was reading “The Pet Goat” to a classroom full of kids while innocent Americans leapt from burning buildings in the fiery wreckage of 9/11.  A man that rewarded the National Security Advisor on whose watch 9/11 happened with a promotion to Secretary of State.  A man that was playing guitar at a GOP fundraiser while one of our best cities drowned beneath the torrent of Hurricane Katrina.  A man that made enormous sacrifices for the benefit of his Iraq War, such as giving up golf.  A man that gave record-shattering tax breaks to Exxon-Mobile while Exxon-Mobile made record breaking profit, and all the while gas prices for the American people climbed to record heights.  A man that was doing all this in the face of Global Warming acceleration.

Ladies and gentlemen, our President.  Taking direct aim at Obama, the Democratic nominee for President (Hillary who?), by obviously lumping him into “some” who offer appeasement to the terrorists like some who offered appeasement to Hitler in the lead up to World War II.  Cue the fear.  Cue the GOP tackiness machine.

Our President with a job approval rating of 28% — the lowest for essentially any President since World War II (back when all the appeasers were appeasing). 

And in so much as he continues such attacks, such rhetoric aimed at positing his notions of foreign policy as utterly different than those Obama offers, he is only bolstering Obama’s support.  Key point: Obama’s policy will be very different than Bush’s failed policy.  And in so much as McCain links onto Bush’s attacks and drills them in even further, the clearer the truth that McCain is simply a 3rd Bush term.  Another 4 years of short-sighted, ignorant foreign policy that ironically spreads the fires it is trying to put out.  Like Lennie in “Of Mice and Men” killing the mouse he is trying to save.  Only without the whole ”retardation” excuse.  You can only say “give it another six months” so often before people begin to sense a pattern of endless catastrophe. 

Our President.  Endorsing Obama. 

And he doesn’t even realize it.
