“We will stand down, when they stand up.”

President Bush’s new media barrage to help sagging poll numbers is based on the same old same old philosophy, a failed policy that he wants to continue to push no matter how many Americans and Iraqis have to die. When is this administration going to stop blaming other people for their failures and stand up and take the leadership roles that were thrust upon them? Yes, thrust upon them. This administration was content to just sit back and help their wealthy corporate friends and donors that got them into the oval office until 9/11. Then this administration not only was expected to lead America but to show the world what America was all about. Instead of using the goodwill the world was offering and using the attacks on 9/11 to unify the world against Al Qaeda, this administration decided to wage war on a country that would never be able to attack us and also go for the money grab. Our leaders in Washington only know how to continue to monopolize the power and continue to attack anyone and everyone who speaks out against them.

If Bush actually spoke to a group of real Americans, instead of his handpicked crowds, what would the questions look like?

My questions would be:

We all know that you think you made no mistakes up to the point of the town hall debate with John Kerry, but do you still believe that your administration has its perfect record intact?

How many of your Republican brethren will be burned by Jack Abramoff?

Did Scooter Libby act alone in outing a covert CIA operative during a time of war or was he taking orders from the Vice President?

How do you defeat an insurgency that may actually be acting in America’s best interest?

If Iran had gone into Iraq to rid the world of Saddam Hussein like we did, would they have been treated as liberators?

Is a puppet government in Iraq going to be enough of a victory for us to pull out troops?

What if Iraqis do not stand up?

And finally

Mr. President as you have so eloquently put it in the past, “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, well, ummm, you just can’t get fooled again.” How do we know that you are not just pulling the wool over America’s eyes again to continue the rape of real American’s jobs and pensions for the benefit of your corporate allies?
