Five Criticisms of George Bush That Could Be Better Applied to Barack Obama
by John Hawkins
Most liberals in this country are intellectually dishonest which is
why they don't have the slightest qualms about grotesque double
standards. That's why Al Gore can live in a mansion that consumes
energy like a football stadium while he tells you to cut back. It's why
Sarah Palin can be sliced apart for things said by Tina Fey on Saturday
Night Live while Joe Biden is treated seriously despite being the
biggest doofus ever to occupy the Vice-Presidency. It's also why Barack
Obama gets a free pass for many of the same things that George Bush was
criticized for doing. Here are just a few of the criticisms aimed at
George Bush that could be better applied to Barack Obama.
Barack Obama is a chickenhawk: How often did we hear liberals
sneer that George Bush was a chickenhawk? How could someone who had
never served in combat lead America as Commander-in-Chief?
Well, excuse me for noticing, but George Bush did at least fly planes
for the National Guard. On the other hand, despite the fact that Barack
Obama never served at all, he's fighting the same two wars that Bush
did in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is even ramping things up in
Afghanistan while simultaneously forcing our troops to engage in combat
under onerous new rules of engagement that will make it much tougher on
our soldiers. Guess it's easy for a chickenhawk like Obama to handcuff
our troops going into battle when he has never been into combat
himself.
