Where is Dubya?

For a guy who created so much damage and debt, his name is virtually
unmentioned. He doesn't appear anywhere or take credit for anything.
If he's endorsed Mitt, it's news to me. I don't hear anything from any
of the Bush/Cheney mob except for those still on the dole, unshamed
and undeterred by any of their lies and crimes of the Bush years.

W has to sneak to the Caymans to open his offshore account. Cheney's
shooting someone else in the fields and the dopes who dare to speak their insanities
are speaking. Our memories aren't that short. We still want Bush Inc.
indicted for their crimes. Hopefully Holder will be replaced in the second term
and we get some real justice.

Meanwhile, think of GW Bush when you think of even voting for another Rethuglican.

but as an artist and art educator, I ask that you don't demean people for painting. Michelangelo was supposedly a creepy egomaniac, but far from a simple idiot.

There's something great about a man who squeals, especially when he's
trying to pretend to run for the most important office in America.

Yeah, I also figured he was trying to emulate Reagan when he did that. The Gipper liked working outdoors doing similar things with chainsaws.

didn't the Gipper also make a hobby of selling out his pals to the McCarthy communist witch hunts?
and encore that by selling out the country on the Iran-Contra deal.

Too bad he won't make a public appearance on behalf of his bestie Mittens.

ETA: Dear Lord, could they have done just a bit more to make him sound as if he is in a group home for dunces....his new hobby is painting portraits of dogs and landscapes? wow

They know how much he is disliked and they don't want him anywhere near the campaign trail.

It's a big contrast to Bill Clinton who has high approval ratings and is in constant demand, both Obama as well as many Senate candidates want Bill to come to their states.

Bill has been everywhere over the past few weeks:

1. Arizona with Richard Carmona

2. Nevada with Shelley Berkley

3. Indiana with Joe Donnelly

4. New Hampshire for Obama

5. Ohio for Obama

6. Florida for Obama (& Bill Nelson)

7. California fundraiser for Obama

8. And next I think he's on his way to Connecticut for Chris Murphy
