Say what you will, Obama is more like Bush than any other candidate from the primary campaigns. He will not only be the first black President, he will be the first to not be natural born. Nancy Pelosi knows this, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton know this, as do many of the other conspirators. This is what the African-Americans warned Hillary not to say. In my opinion she was dumb not to use it and the rest against Obama. Obama has helped to destroy our economy with his Wall Street buddies and he will do nothing but make it worse.

Can anyone think why? Huh?

No, Mark, Rove is serving up the BS!

To John T

I certainly think that LBJs Legacy was affected by Vietnam and the aftermath. W made a self-serving decision that has not made the world or the US safer. He chose to leave the real battle ground against terrorism in lieu of seeking vengence against Sadam for the failings of the first Gulf war. And YES, the Gulf of Tonkin was a "wag the dog", just like Yellow Cake, Mobile Weapons Labs, Sadams links to Al Qaeda, etc etc etc.

PTSD at Fort Carson

All you bleeding heart liberals make me want to puke.

What about all the PTSD troops who returned from Viet Nam? They were virtually ignored, and most are still left with no treatment or recognition. I've never heard anyone talk about the legacies of JFK and LBJ being tarnished by what happened to those troops. Recently declassified documents prove that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a false excuse to escalate the war.

W made a difficult decision (supported by Congress) that has made the world a safer place.

Bush, Cheney & Rove, the evil 3

Although they may think, or wish, history will vindicate them, I doubt it. Rove and Cheney were Bush's advisors and they certainly did a terrible job. Historians are horrified by all the mistakes the Evil Three made during Bush's terms. Rove, like the rat he is, just like a rat abandoned a sinking ship when they finally realized what a mess they made and are leaving for others to clean up. I was stunned to see Rove writing for several publications---this moron has no credibility why would they publish anything he writes?? Now that Bush, Cheney and Rove has left our nation in shambles I hope they crawl under some rock and never show their faces again. If I were them I would be afraid someone would lob a bag full of sh--. All three will have to live with the fact they did so much damage to our nation. As far as our veterans, the evil three are hypocrits. They did not nor will they ever feel bad about the loss of 4200+ lives and thousands more Americans left disabled--not counting the hundred of thousands Iraqi dead. Bush cut the funding for the veterans and the VA and did not reinstate funding until it was made public how we were ignoring and badly treating our returning vets. Leaving them unattended and in dirty hospitals and limited staff. No history will not be kind to them--they certainly do not deserve it.

Karl Marx Rove

God, Please take the Bush man , Rovester and Cheney away, the only thing worse than what their BS did to this country is their attempts to rationalize it, so i guess they can sleep at night.

Go away, youve done enuf damage and youre too arrogant to step up and take responsibility.

PTSD and Karl Rove

Seems to me Karl has done a lifetime worth of damage. The best thing the press could do is not publish any of his stuff and let him atrophy from lack of attention.
