In the spirit of giving...

Suddenly, President Bush is waving an admonishing finger at the major US airline carriers, telling them they better straighten up and fly right (pun intended), especially since the Thanksgiving holiday is near, and a crowd of over 3 million is expected to pass through the gates of O'Hare Airport in Chicago alone during the week.

Funny.

I seem to recall his adamant stance during 9/11, when the airlines were grounded by him, and losing billions in revenue on a daily basis, with pilots and flight crew out of jobs for nearly a month while he was allowed to junket all over the country in Air Force One. When the airline flight ban was lifted, the carriers had no choice but to furlough employees and restructure financially.

When the airlines asked Dickhead Bush for a hand, a federal bailout, he said NO. The government shouldn't become involved in that mess - the one he created. And so, many employees were out of jobs and drawing unemployment or seeking other ways of staying afloat financially. Bush didn't care, since he has his own personal airplane to use (Air Force One), and I am willing to bet dollars to donuts he and the Bush family own a fleet of private jets to use at their whims.

To me, this makes no sense.

I believe the reason he is suddenly concerned about air travel is that it takes away from American's focusing on the Iraq debacle and the debate going on in Congress and the House for more blood money for his oil war. I find it ironic that he wants billions to continue funding this madness, to perpetuate the "good" his bloodwar is doing in liberating the Iraqi people, while waving a Jewish Mother finger at our domestic airline carriers, as if they have been naughty, while fares continue to escalate and service decreases across the board at all the airlines. The airlines say the reason for increases is because of fuel prices, and I don't doubt that one bit. Since Bush took office in 2000, oil prices per barrel have gone from $22 to a whopping $92! And who is making all this extra revenue?

The Bush Family.

While the rest of us have to pay and pay and pay and pay and pay...

Get this fucker out of office, people! And keep Republicans out! They have no business in our government, except to further their own personal agendas.

I also read a startling statistic recently, stating that, during the Reagan administration, drug use was at an all-time high (no pun intended). Then, a decrease in drug use across the nation, after Daddy Bush (another fucked up asshole) left office. Now, however, drug use is on the rise again, and has been since Baby Bush took office. A correlation? I think so...

If you are a registered voter, take off the rose colored glasses - NO politician truly cares about us as a country and a people. They are in this for themselves, the prestige and the power that comes along with being in a position of government. But to continue this rotten lie of a war in Iraq, and to continue funding it, while the shithead of a president of our country is making billions of dollars a week pumping oil from this wartorn land, is a shame we all must bear. To continue to give him even the slightest penny is to give him too much. Bush needs to be shut down, his oil war stopped, and he and his worthless alcoholic, drug abusing family run out of this country for being liars, traitors and, worst of all, for stomping on the rights of the American people.

End of rant...
