Peter Pan

Its unbelieveable to listen to Peter Pan take total credit for the planned removal of all combact troops in Iraq,( a 50,000 rear detail to vacate 12/11), by years' end 12/31/10 AS HE PROMISED IN HIS CAMPAIGN. Hold it right there dude. #1 this is only August, don't count your chicken until they come home to roost( Rev. Wright). #2 it was President Bush and his Iraqi counterpart who set this date way back in 4Q08. #3 it was predicated upon the new Iraqi government would be up and running. It ani't and the elections were held 5 months ago. #4 Violence in the streets can be controlled by the Iraqi army and police forces. There has been an uptick in violence of late, and we are still at 150,000 strong. Wait until 01/01/11.

On the other hand, President Bush's name is used often, by many dem/progressives when it comes to Peter Pan's dead in the water economy plan. We just didn't understand where the economy was when we enter the WH??? Mr. President, in the business world (of which you don't have one former businessperson in the WH), you do what is called as due dillgence, you don't trust the folks' balance sheet and supporting documents, you verify with your own people first. From recall, but I could be wrong, Mr. President, didn't you have ~39 or so economists and bean counters on staff before you ever won the nomination?

President Bush will have the last laugh... the WH don't know what to do with the Bush Tax Cuts which are to sunset by years end. It they let them expire the economy will be hit with a new tax increase, just when the WH is sucking air big time.
