"The Great Society" President

I think the Republicans that are flipping out that George W. Bush has become a liberal need to calm the hell down. You are not in danger of losing your president to the dark side.

It is beyond disappointing to hear people like Chris Matthews, David Gregory and Wolf Blitzer talk about last night's speech and compare it to the Great Society of Lyndon Johnson. Are you people taking medication that erases your short-term memory? Think about this for a moment:

There will be no true addressing of poverty in this country. He said these things to throw people like you, the powerhouse media, off his scent of fallibility. And lo, it worked like a dream. He's sleeping well tonight, now that the minions are back in line.

What will happen in New Orleans will be the redistricting of the most poverty-stricken areas to be...oh, I don't know...businesses? ::cough:: The people who were poorest probably won't be able to get bus fare back to their homes anyway, so by the time they get there, the deed will be done. The rebuilding costs to Halliburton and Bechtel will be so expensive, the permanent relocation of those residents will be "necessary for the common good of the entire project. What would you have us do, subsidize them forever?" So, by removing the people that live in poverty, you've ::poof!:: obliterated poverty. It's Republican-think. Sort of like Healthy Forests and Clear Skies. You get the idea.

So rest easy, Republicans. Your president is living up to your ideals even now, while he sleeps and dreams of ways to tell us all he's cutting Social Security to pay for reconstruction.
