Bill Clinton actually used signing documents way more than George W. Bush. But No. 42 is a Democrat and his wife currently works for Obama. So No. 44 is on a big tear right now to distance himself instead from No. 43, the Republican, who's back in Texas and doesn't care but…
I'll get to Noah in a bit. But first, digby describes the lobotomization of our national discourse:
Something very disconcerting has been happening in our discourse for some time, even worse than the up-is-downism that has characterized the most unctuously presumptuous members of the Cheney…
My opinion of Wired magazine just dropped a couple of notches. They've got Gregg Easterbrook pontificating on a science issue, the origin of life. Easterbrook is a sports writer with absolutely no clue about science—I've commented on his incompetence a few times before (OK, more than a few times).…
"If the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain's resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry Left never will." -- President George Bush, addressing the RNC via satellite feed, September 1, 2008 "I Am The Angry Left." -- T-Shirt seen at demonstration outside RNC,…
I suppose the infowarrior crowd who watches Russia Today and were accusing Bush of putting cancer viruses in our vaccinations and the like would eager to forget that GWB wasn't a very good President. Others who voted for Obama in hopes that civil liberties would be restored after the shredding of the constitution following the false-flag 9/11 terror attacks who are now miserable in their FEMA concentration camps when they could have had a great patriot like John McCain have every reason to be nostalgic owing to their great disappointment at the new administration. However, as the "expert blogger" interviewed in the last segment point out, Obama never promised to end the practice of randomly rounding up Americans and placing them in concentration camps or, for that matter, of intentionality giving them cancer and planting mind-control chips in their inoculations ...
RT's caption, "Absence making America's heart grow fonder etc.", is not supported by any of the interviews they showed. No one said that they'd changed their opinion of him; one person predicted a rehabilitation in the future, but he hadn't actually changed his own opinion.
I'm not sure why this would affect your opinion of New Yorkers, although you might well look askance at RT.
I would have assumed that all New Yorkers think of George Bush as a bum.
They probably had to sift through a fair number of interviews to avoid having them all be negative.
You do realise that i the rabidly anti-American Russian English language "news" service. If there are ten people in NYC who love Bush but hate Obama, they'll keep looking until they find them.
