How George Bush Is Getting His Groove Back

Hold a news conference on imigration saying how you are now ready to close the borders (Maybe from the Arizona or Texas border?) 2.) Threaten to veto any spending bill that contains a single earmark.Despite constant attacks by the democratic media……George Bush had his groove at his Inauguration in 2005.Here is a third offer of free advice.Let’s put this in perspective: * There are no more mass graves being filled by the Saddam regime in Iraq* Women can work in Afghanistan* There are no longer rapists on the payroll in Iraq* The country has won two wars in very hostile territories in record time with minimal (record) fatalities* You’ve helped set 50 million free from brutal regimes* The Butcher of Baghdad is on trial for the evil massacres of his own people* Libya has given up its clandestime weapons program* The Ali Khan Nuke Sales Network from the 90’s is out of business* Most of Al Qaeda leadership has been captured or killed* Lebanon is on the road to democracy* There have been countless democratic improvements in the Middle East regimes* The world has more democracies now than ever* There have been three successful elections in Iraq* Afghanistan has had elections and successful parliamentary sessions* Sectarian tribal leaders in Iraq are joining, praying, renouncing terror* Al Qaeda in Iraq is desperate and in despair* The Iraqi people are more cooperative than ever with security* There have thankfully been no terrorist attacks in the US since 9-11* Real progress is being made in Iraq* The economy is in a major boom* The stock market is nearing its all-time high, overcoming the Clinton Recession, 9-11, the Bubble Bust, and corporate scandal* Unemployment is lower than it’s average in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s* The US leads industrial nations in GDP* There is record home ownership* House-hold earnings have increased significantly* Tax relief continues for all Americans…* Sadly, the Adminstration has had one person indicted.
