Bush ran the same system run by Clinton, Bush , Reagan, Carter, Ford.............................Roosevelt, Hoover and so on. The shit hit the fan on his watch.
They asked David Ortiz about the Yankee/RedSox rivalry, and David probably flabbergasted the Henry/Steinbrenner clans by saying "we like those guys. ' Why not? They all make huge money, play the same game, are the same ages, experience the same things. The 'rivalry ' sells tickets and newspapers. Now, except for the ages, do you see how the politicians are exactly the same? We all fight about this and that. The Pols come out spew their shit, go behind closed doors and pat each other on the backs like movie bad guys after the good guy kills them. It 's a game. What happened was, the clock ran out on the Wall St. machine. And Bush gets the prize.
I had the misfortune to be involved way too deep in this morass, and many times, the bad guys have spread the money out so big name Dems and Republicans are really on the same team, pitching for the same bad guys. And Bush' name shows up as the kingpin all the time with many Democratic Senators. I really don't see many Republican names show up. But Bush is there like hair in an armpit.
So you tell me. You go out, and represent yourself as an Obama backer, and you don't know anything about him. Nothing. You know a bunch of shit he spews on TV. What we KNOW about him is not very appealing. He's a showman, and an empty shirt. He's like Clinton, but Clinton was empty pants.
I'm voting McCain. It's an anti Obama vote, but McCain for his foibles appears to be a decent man and he does love the Country. There isn't wealth, or eternal life in it for him. And why he wants to spend his remaining years dealing with this shit is beyond me. But I think he'll win, as people come to their senses.
That being said, if I had a chance to sit with the Chosen One, we might become fast friends. I doubt it. But how do you know? I know people in the City who know TV personallities and they actually like people I can't stand. The personalities are different then what you see on TV. Except Gasparino. Everyone says he's the same in real life. How charming.
