POPSbush, cheney and the great escape well- from what history tells us- and then in light of the recent film i watched on the displacement of the people of Chagos (island) i believe it was...........this seems to be the norm- when it comes to doing business- er uh.....imposing our will on the world- and i doubt that anyone will be held accountable for doing business as usual- just another bump to sweep under the rug so to speak- we are deluded criminals- with no consciences - accountability never figures in for those without conscience

POPSWhy we can't afford to let Obama give Bush's war criminals a free pass, by attorney/author Charlotte Dennett This post is by Charlotte Dennett, who is the author of the newly released The People v. Bush: One Lawyer’s Campaign to Bring the President to Justice and the National Grassroots Movement She Encounters Along the Way. Formerly a journalist reporting from the Middle East, she now practices law. If, indeed, the Iraq war was all about the oil, the Bush administration's choice to ignore or manipulate the rule of law makes perfect sense. That does not justify it, however. And that is just the point of her excellent piece.

POPSGeorge H. W. Bush's Entry into Politics Bush served as Chairman of the Republican Party for Harris County, Texas in 1964, but wanted to be more involved in policy making, so he set his stakes high: he aimed for a US Senate seat from Texas. After winning the Republican primary, Bush faced his opponent, incumbent Democrat Ralph Yarborough. Yarborough attacked Bush as a right-wing extremist, and Bush lost the general election.

POPS Monetary Stimulus Produces Phony Recovery
“Pres. George W. Bush…came into office when annual federal spending was $1.86 trillion. He proposed to increase spending at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011. “Bush and his team started blowing their budget almost immediately. They kept spending more and more " wars, a giant new homeland-security bureaucracy, a big-government response to Katrina, the prescription-drug bill, doubling K-12 education spending, big pay raises for federal workers, financial bailouts, and so on. I can’t think of a single crisis that occurred on President Bush’s watch that the Bush-Rove team didn’t have an interventionist and big-spending response to. “In Bush’s last year, FY2009, the government spent $1 trillion more than the Bush-Rove team had originally planned. It is true that 2009 spending included $112 billion for the Obama stimulus bill, so let’s take that out. With that adjustment, the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had .....

POPSOnce again, let's give a big ol' "thank you" to George Bush for all he's done, all his "hard work"...
Yesterday the airwaves were abuzz re: the CEO of Goldman Sachs taking $100 million in bonuses and thumbing his nose at Obama in doing so. Other reports this week are confirming the sleight-of-hand and shadiness surrounding the TARP bailout of the banks: Specifically, that TARP money handed out by Paulson was not recorded, let alone accounted for or monitored; and therefore it cannot be traced or even determined whether it went to benefit American corporations, let alone Americans, and not foreign corporations or even private interests or parties. With these recent developments coming to light, along with the tea-baggers and Republicans continued blaming of Obama for everything from being born, daring to take the oath of office with unpresidential skin pigmentation, to daring to reverse the direction of the country from the cliff that Bush had so clearly left us heading for, it seems it's time to revisit those days of yore, those nostalgic last glimmerings of a time when we had a gover

POPSGreenwald (1/31/10): Nostalgia for Bush/Cheney radicalism Thanks to Marcy Wheeler, "emptywheel" at Firedoglake, for the link to this very fine post. In it Greenwald makes the very potent argument that the trend in the current political establishment is to demand less of the rule of law in the fight against terrorists than either President Reagan or G.W. Bush. These policy stances are cast as normal, while support for criminal trials, adherence to habeas corpus, etc. are cast as those of "the leftist fringe." It is becoming a sad day for America that we have seem to have less respect for civil liberties than was shown in the Reagan and Bush administrations.

POPSExtending Bush tax cuts (or not) at year's end, puts U.S. between a rock and a hard place. Despite all the pros and cons explained in this excellent McClatchy analysis, my own preference would be for the President to keep his campaign promise of not raising taxes on those who make less than $250,000. At the same time, tax rates on the wealthy should be allowed to return to previous levels, as a matter of principle, if nothing else. But it will be a real dilemma. Perhaps the economic situation, as it emerges through this year, will dictate the solution. In addition, it would help the "deciders" if the wishes of the people have been made clearly known by that time.

POPSWMD in the news again Apparently Bush didn't 'lie' after all. The last quote is from both Bush & Obama... just too bad Obama is only talking about it, without actions to back up the statement.
