For the Record

Since we as a country don't seem to remember anything past yesterday, except of course, unless Rush says it; I'd like to preserve just a few facts before the revisionism takes over. I realize Republicans are already "preparing" themselves and the rest of us for the Obama administration. And I'm well aware that for the last 8 years they have desperately clung to some sort of blame toward the Clinton administration. I didn't vote for the President-elect, but let's not forget that he is certainly walking into a mess, a bigger mess than 2 years of a democratic Congress have made. Now, if recent history continues as it has been, when Pres-elect takes office, wouldn't he have a free ride to blunder and twist promises and it should all be blamed on the Bush administration, right?
And from the sound of Pres-elect's appointments, I'd say the change on the way, is virtually minuscule. It's going to be career politicians, all over the place, and many of the same ol' ones.
Now, just in case anyone is aware of any facts in recent history, let us remember this. Before this past 20 some months, there was 12 years of a Republican Congress. And before this past administration, there was a Democrat administration that spoke ever so smoothly. And before that, there was a harsh Republican administration that spoke quite sternly, with a democrat Congress. And before that we had an administration that was designated by Iran and Iran was rewarded with arms! That's right, there were hostages in Tehran whose lives were threatened if Jimmy Carter was re-elected. President Reagan apparently pleased the Iranian regime and made an arms deal with them. As a sad bitter minority prepares to blame Obama for everything, let us not forget that this same sad bitter minority has blamed Clinton at every opportunity, through the current administration. Even in the face of the bait and switch of the present administration, from WMD to Wall Street's Bailout, the supporters simply accept this as "unexplained" or try to blame the left or the citizens or the borrowers or anyone but their man!
I'm sure Pres-elect will not be perfect, no one is. And I'm sure some of his decisions will result in my being very glad I didn't support him or vote for him, but . . . he's certainly not responsible for the collapsing economy and the prolonged wars with no end in sight, but he'll receive the blame, anyway. I don't look for him to make great changes or even good ones for that matter, but he didn't start these messes and I have no earthly idea what human being could clean them up.
