Whether its marrying your cousin, banging your girlfriend in Gracie Mansion while your wife is away, using City resources to visit his girlfriend in the Hamptons and take her to Yankees games, or chumming around with Bernie Kerik. Could you imagine the right-wing furor if Obama's BFF was a convicted felon?

If America is now Obama's "family," then we are still "a nation of cowards" as Obama's AG called us (and Obama backed him up on that statement in word and in deed).

How could anyone be proud of a nation of cowards?

He's right. We as a country freak out about everything. We have lost our nerve. We have been so used to living without risk that if something does come up, it creates a panic. Case in point: the great ebola freak-out.

From my experiences, family and friends who spent summers in another country (the home country of a parent), for example, are the most critical of the US.

The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents — #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.

Pretty clear.

He is referring to the act.

Pretty clear.

Spin, spin, spin........you can spin all day if you like. It won't change.

Neanderthal brains cannot process nuance.

By calling the act irresponsible, that does not say that the sum of the acts of a man are unpatriotic.

Calling someone unpatriotic says that the sum of a man is unpatriotic.

The President said the former, not the latter which right wingers are unwilling and too filled with hate to understand.

For being the great communicator that he is touted to be, he kind of f’ed up on this one.
Whatever he said, it was a slam to the president (GWB). And, he was a CANDIDATE for the presidency when he said it.
Giuliani is not.
