GOP (Gas Old People)

I had the displeasure of hearing two codgers about my age speaking today as they waited for their prescriptions on a bench at WALMART. They were agreeing that "he shouldn' t have apologized " and commiserating in their ignorance,another comment"it'll only get worse,just you wait" .My initial thought was to ask them how they felt there was an apology for anything by anyone but I knew the statement by earnest but ignorant stiff Mitt Robme was the person who planted the seed of this stupid comment in their rapidly deteriorating brains.

This vignette demonstrates how the NAZI JOSEL GOEBBELS BIG LIE  works on those who REALLY WANT TO BELIEVE what they hear from anyone they think merits credibilty. Mitt looks pretty wearing a white shirt and blue suit and he has money from outsourcing and his Father's fortune. My immediate judgement was they are bom in the barn GOP (GAS OLD PEOPLE) Basically this writer knew there would be no point in engaging them in conversation reason being in the past twenty years there was only one president left W,.Bush,the incompetent ''DECIDER".

To top it off one muttered,"And Clinton was no good either" and the other grunted assent.Clinton was the only United States president who balanced the budget in a CENTURY and it was four years in a row .

 Further  I should have asked these old frats WHO made an apology,it had to be President Obama. I checked all of the film clips for 24 hours and saw nothing in the way of an apology from anyone in the US adminstration,the word sorry or apologize did not appear nor did any synonym,except for the word used in Mitt's twisted imagination "let's pretend I' m the prez" speech to his paid lackeys.

So BY ELIMINATION the remaining president who left the United States with two lost twelve year wars,60,000 AMERICAN MILITARYcasualties,150,000 dead innocent Iraqi civlians and a 6 trillion dollar  deficit due to wars and tax cuts for oil corporations and millionaires plus a bankrupt economy way before Obama was elected must be THEIR HERO.So being a research oriented guy I looked up independent opinions by learned historians and political analysts of American presidents since1776,I have been alive for one third of the time we are a country.

Here's what I wish the two old frats were able to read and comprehend (though doubtful)

A 2006 Siena College poll of 744 professors reported the following results:^[9]

• "George W. Bush has just finished five years as President. If today were the last day of his presidency, how would you rank him? The responses were: Great: 2%; Near Great: 5%; Average: 11%; Below Average: 24%; Failure: 58%."
• "In your judgment, do you think he has a realistic chance of improving his rating?” Two-thirds (67%) responded no; less than a quarter (23%) responded yes; and 10% chose no opinion or not applicable."

Thomas Kelly, professor emeritus of American studies at Siena College, said: "President Bush would seem to have small hope for high marks from the current generation of practicing historians and political scientists. In this case, current public opinion polls actually seem to cut the President more slack than the experts do." Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor of statistics and director of the Siena Research Institute, stated: "In our 2002 presidential rating, with a group of experts comparable to this current poll, President Bush ranked 23rd of 42 presidents. That was shortly after 9/11. Clearly, the professors do not think things have gone well for him in the past few years. These are the experts that teach college students today and will write the history of this era tomorrow."^[9]

A 2010 Siena poll of 238 Presidential scholars found that former president George W. Bush was ranked 39th out of 43, with poor ratings in handling of the economy, communication, ability to compromise, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence. Meanwhile, the current president, Barack Obama was ranked 15th out of 43, with high ratings for imagination, communication ability and intelligence and a low rating for background (family, education and experience).^[10][11] Sadly and to the detriment of America these two are allowed to vote!
