I looked over your whole article. With all due respect, there is some double talk & hypocrisy. And this is what I'm referring to.—- The same people who say that Americans shouldn't be critical of democrat Obamas handling of the BP oil spill in the Gulf, were the MOST critical of our ex. president Republican George Bush Jr.s handling of Katrina back in 2005.In addition, these same people were TOTALLY silent when it came to the COMPLETE & TOTAL neglect of New Orleans mayor democrat Ray Nagin & Louisiana governor, democrat Kathleen Blanco. It was democrats Ray Nagin & Kathleen Blanco who TRULY dropped the ball in regards to Katrina. Yet, these very same people who were critical of Bush Jr. were TOTALLY silent when it came to the complete & total neglect of Nagin & Blanco. In regards to your article —– You mentioned that Bush Jr. caused Americas economic troubles. Well, Bush Jr. didn't. It was the democrats. And this is why.The democrats pushed for everyone to own a home. And the democrats did this for votes, so that they could get reelected to office. And just some of the top & major democrats who did this were Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd & the Congressional black caucus.And the midde class footed the bill for the underclasses homes.And the buyers bit off more than what they could chew.So, Obama was part of the clique which brought about the Subprime Crisis.And the Republicans WANTED to & the Republicans TRIED to regulate Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac back as early as 2005. However though, the Republicans were blocked by the democrats. And just some of the major & top democrats who blocked the Republicans were Maxine Waters (Democrat — California), Gregory Meeks (Democrat — New York), Barney Frank (Democrat — Massachusetts) & Christopher Dodd (Democrat — Connecticut).In addition, many regulations were also removed under the previous presidential administrations of democrats Bill Clinton & Jimmy Carter. Especially under Clinton with the revising of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). In regards to the Subprime Crisis.—-It even goes back to 1977 with our former president, democrat Jimmy Carter.—- The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). And this entailed giving loans to people who CANNOT afford it.And then, under our other presidential administration of democrat Bill Clinton.— Clinton revised the Community Reinvestment Act.In addition, democrat Bill Clinton repealed the "Glass-Steagall Act".And the REAL push for everyone to own a home REALLY got into full throttle soon after the democrats won back the House & Senate back in November, 2006.And the democrats are always after big businesses, after the banks, after the insurance companies & after the private sector.And the democrats FORCED the banks to make the loans to people who WEREN'T qualified. The democrats forced the banks to make loans to people who were not capable as well as not competent towards paying it back.In addition, the democrats even forced banks to open up in poor & in high crime areas. And George Bush Jr. EVEN tried to create an agency back in 2003 in order to regulate Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. But, this was blocked by the democrats.Now, back in 2003, the Congress had a Republican majority. But, this attempt to regulate by Bush Jr. was blocked by the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. And the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs had a democratic majority. And as a result of this, it was unable to even make it out on to the floor of the Senate for a vote by them as it has to make it through committee first.

Correction: I meant to say "Commander-and-Chief.Politico:“It was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened,” McChrystal said. “Throughout my career, I have lived by the principles of personal honor and professional integrity. What is reflected in this article falls far short of that standard. I have enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his national security team, and for the civilian leaders and troops fighting this war, and I remain committed to ensuring its successful outcome.” NATO issued a statement overnight indicating continued support for McChrystal despite the “unfortunate article.” It will be hard for the White House to get past this since the remarks appear to amount to some level of insubordination. “This general has to be fired; he has to be gone by the end of the day,” said Joe Scarborough, on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC.

You see the same fear in McChrystal's contempt for Eikenberry, who took the Biden position."McChrystal_“a Cheney darling.”

@Beth – Thanks for nod. I appreciate it!I’m gonna have to differ with you on your point about the President “failing miserably.” I think most fair-minded Americans would admit that the President is NOT "failing miserably" by any stretch of the imagination.Would they like for him to be doing more? Yes.But the fact remains: He IS “getting sh*t done.” His "failuire," thus far, has been his inability to effectively communicate THAT to the American people which has led to a “PERCEPTION” problem that needs to be addressed_AND SOON!Another area of concern I have: The President APPEARS to NOT recognize, early on, when he’s being PLAYED by utterly RUTHLESS people in HIGH places who do NOT respect him as President and Commander-in-Chief__BP execs and U.S. military GENERALS come quickly to mind (see Gen. McChrystal’s latest DIRTY act unfolding as I write this). Those cretins are driven by very different agendas than the President’s and they will NOT hesitate to try and undermine his authority at EVERY opportunity! In fact, McChrystal has a history of just BAD behavior. He should turn in his resignation TODAY and the President should accept it!

I am happy to be able to agree with a few points made by Truthis today. Mr. Obama ran on a platform with the promise to fix America. It was the entire reason why so many voted for him. Now he is failing miserably in fulfilling the very promises that put him in the White House in the first place. But in fairness I do want my fellow Republicans in Washington to be more involved in assisting with this disaster.
