The Pressure to Act
EmailOn Good Morning America we took a look at PEBO’s increased activism on the economy. 44 days before he takes office he’s already held as many events/mini-press conferences as had President Bush a month into his presidency.

Romney Takes Aim at Conservatives 
CPAC: Romney Struggles to Convince Voters
Let us remember that at this point after the Bush election the frivolous Gore challenge was still in the courts and we had no President Elect.
Additionally the Clinton White House Staff was busy removing the W key from the White House office computers and trashing the space. So much for an adult and beneficial transition!
History will write that the vitriol created over the Bush win by the Gore challenge, led, in a great part, to 9/11 as well as the lack of cooperative government that led to our current economic crisis.
Thank You Al Gore

Al Gore DID NOT create the mess this country is in. It has happened on george W bush watch. and he has had eight long years to have made or not whatever his presidency was to be.
and removing the W from computers had nothing to do with the incompetence of this administration.
There may have been a lot of smart people associated with the bush adm.
but when you have a FOOL for the head,
you are a FOOL, and will do dumb and foolish things.
never in the modern history of this country, has a president coming into office had to do, or is expected to do as much as obama is being asked to do.
And here is a fact. obama is handling it brilliantly.
If george W bush had been coming into what obama is facing, from what we know if bush now. bush would have caved.
which is what he is doing now.
It is probally to him just like one of his old college frat. parties.
When george W bush took office, the beer kegs were full, the party food was plentiful,and it was just get in the white house, fill it full of your friends, and start to Wreck the place.
and that is just what bush and co. have done, they have put this country in shambles, everybody is sobering up from the big stupor they are in.
and now waiting for someone to come in and clean up the mess.
george W bush, may as well be sitting up on the sid of the bed, in his white tee shirt, white boxer shorts, and white crew sock, looking around, scratching his head and asking the question, “Hey, what has happened over the last eight years?” “look at this mess, send some one in here to clean up this mess” “I don’t know how it got like this, and I am certainly NOT going to clean it up”
The country is a mess
and it is all
george W bush’ fault.
and no thanks on another BUSH in the white house, stay if florida JEB,NEAL,
Doro, and any other bush.
after DUBYA, we have had enough.
(instead of removing the W, they should have removed the D)

Oh look its the very first lie told by the Bush administration post-inauguration.
GAO report stated that vandalism reports were made up.

And that’s what I meant by vitriol. When a commentator cannot even make an effort to capitalize or even use the proper name of the President it denigrates the person and the position.

You complain about capitalization and vitriol after repeating a right wing lie that the Clintons vandalized the White House. Something right wing liars like to repeat but that was debunked by the GAO report that came out right around when 9/11 happened.
You know when bush (with a little b) was hiding while Americans died.
The lesson most of the time? Right wingers are hypocrites.
