From The Rude Pundit

Just read his newest piece, and this paragraph jumped out at me about the mess Obama still faces in trying to help this country out of the rubble that Bush left it in:

You want symbolism? Let's go to the heart of it. If you head over to downtown Manhattan, you can finally see something beginning to sprout at the site of the fallen Twin Towers. That fucking hole was created eight and a half years ago under the presidency of George W. Bush. It took nearly five years to clear the debris. And only now does it look like something might some day replace the destruction. The new place is scheduled to open in 2013, a dozen years after the damage was done. Hell, it's not until then that we'll know if we even like the joint. You got that? They had to haul away the wreckage before the building could even start on the hole left behind.


Whole piece is here: http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

I wish more people understood like the rude one does (and the BOGgers too)
