What’s that? Bush is gone?

Sun., Nov. 8, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

Promises, promises. Where is all the H1N1 swine flu vaccine?

The Bush administration must not have done a good job of planning. Government promises 120 million doses of vaccine and delivers 50 million. Hmm. So do we need a congressional investigation?

Oh, yes, we are $28 trillion in debt; it must be the Bush administration who caused it.

The stimulus package was to create 3.5 million new jobs. Results to date: a net loss of 2.6 million jobs. It must be the fault of the Bush administration.

Fox News is an arm of the Republican Party, yes, and MSNBC is totally unbiased. Oh, excuse my faulty memory. It’s the Obama administration that has been in charge for the last 10 months. Fortunately, the 2010 elections are only a year away.
