Where's the Outrage?
Last night at the Republican National Convention, President Bush spoke for barely eight minutes. (Funny how the president's name was not mentioned once during any of the other speeches that evening!)
During the President's speech, he said several things that outraged me, yet there is nothing, NOTHING in the media or anywhere on the blogosphere that I could see.
While most of the speaker's last night either exaggerated the truth or out-and-out lied, that is to be expected. But as President of the United States, I am appalled by the blatant partisanship displayed by OUR president.
While there were several things that I found offensive, this is the most egregious:
Fellow citizens: 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.Excuse me? Angry left or right, we are all America's citizens and as President of the United States of America you should represent all of us. I understand that this is a political convention, but that type of discourse has no place even there.
I would remind you, Mr. President, what Senator Barack Obama said just the other night: We are not from red states or blue states, we are from the United States, and as such, you are supposed to represent us as well. After all, it is US who pays YOU. Which leads to my next outrage.
