Saturday, the Washington Post reported:
" The White House has asked the Department of Justice to look into whether 200,000 new Ohio voters must reconfirm their registration information before Nov. 4, taking up an issue that Republicans and Democrats in the battleground state have been fighting over in court for weeks."
How fascinating that President Bush now seems to be taking an interest in election irregularities. I mean, he did take the White House in 2000 largely because of election irregularities in Florida -- where, at the time, his brother was governor and one of his campaign co-chairs was our state's chief elections officer.
In 2004, President Bush took the White House again, possibly because of election irregularities in Ohio -- where one of his campaign co-chairs was that state's chief election officer.
You'd think that President Bush would bend over backwards to prevent his being even remotely associated with questionable election-related activities.
Then there's what he President Bush did to our nation during his time in office.
Under the Bush Administration, the public was misled into supporting a war that has cost our nation thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars.
Under the Bush Administration, the push for less regulation of the finance, accounting, securities and banking industries has had disastrous effects on our nation (as has become glaringly apparent over the past few months).
Under the Bush Administration, our Justice Department has lost its credibility after insiders used their legal authority for political ends.
I could go on and on (and on) with examples but my point is this: few presidents in history have earned the distinction of having destroyed so many aspects of our nation during a mere eight-year period.
You'd think that President Bush would be extra cautious and try to keep his head down during the final few months of his term, if only to protect the tiny shreds that remain of his potential legacy. It's astonishing that he has chosen to take a different path.
