Political Bashing

I love a good political debate, however, I hate morons that feel the need to bash either the President of the United States, the Senate or the House.  If the opposite side took that energy of hatred and reached out to their state representatives to voice their opinion- Their words would be heard in a constructive manner.

September 11, 2001 was one of the worse days this country has ever faced.  I believe this is the day our hour-glass got turned upside down; I have included a video tribute from youtube.

Before the dust settled, our then President George W. Bush, our country had declared war on Osama Bin Laden; which lead the US into the mountain sides of Afghanistan.  Before we knew it, we had also invaded Iraq.  What was the cause for invading Iraq?  The man and his terrorists that had attacked our country were not in Iraq.  In my opinion I believe that President George W. Bush used this time of disaster to invade Iraq.  Looking back on prior statements that President Bush said; as written by Jake Tapper in his 2003 article, President Bush was asked about Iraq and Bush said, "I'd make darn sure that [Saddam Hussein] lived up to the agreements that he signed back in the early '90s," President Bush continued with: "And if I found -- in any way, shape or form -- that he was developing weapons of mass destruction, I'd take 'em out."

Following that statement the moderator of that presidental debate, Brit Hume, seeked to find clarification of on the words, "Take him out?"  Bush explained, ""take them out," as in, take out the "weapons of mass destruction," he said reported by Tapper.  For someone that meant to say "them", when we invaded Iraq he quickly switched back to, "take him out" and that he did.  Saddam was captured by the US forces where he was hiding in an underground bunker.  Saddam was hung on December 30, 2006.  I cannot help but wonder if father and son gave each other high-fives for taking out the one man they both hated.

With that said, for all the Obama haters out there, take the time like I have to look up things on both sides.  Don't let your views be narrowed by stupidity.  For everything that was happening when President Obama was sworn into office, was at the hands of President Bush and his administration- That is fact.  You cannot not expect one man and his administration to correct, fix, do away with, or just remove problems that are a mile high over night or within 6 months or a year. 
I dedicate this article to all the men and women before us and the men and women fighting for our freedoms right now; my husband being one of them as he served in the Gulf War and Iraq.  For the lives that have been sacrificed and lives being put on the line today- you have given me this freedom to express my opinions.  Next time you see a protestor on the street, tell them to thank the soldiers as they have given them the freedom to stand on that street corner and bitch.
