When A President Goes Insane-

Asked at a recent news conference about concerns that Vladimir Putin might suspend the Russian Constitution in order to remain in power, the President of the United States quipped " I've been planning that myself." Said in such a flippant manner that reporters returned nervous laughter, no one even pressed him on the issue and moved on to other questions. Oh that Bush! He's such a kidder. But the real scare came when he was asked about the Iranian nuclear program and he flippantly and implicitly threatened the entire world. Just three little words have headlines around the globe wondering if our President hasn't lost touch with reality altogether. World War Three.

No longer satisfied with threatening Iran about obtaining actual nuclear weapons, he now orders a sovereign nation that they aren't allowed to even have the knowledge of how to make one, or there's going to be a war. Horrified Americans are reacting on message boards and chat rooms across the country, as Russia has said they will help the Iranians finish their reactor despite U.S. objections. And warning the U.S. not to strike Iran, and former Soviet nations not to help us do so. To illustrate their point, the Russians announced a month long 'strategic exercise', wherein their long range bombers will be in the air over the Pacific at all times. In response, the U.S. bomber fleet is doing 'pre arranged' exercises itself.

Has Mr. Bush joined the Democrats down the road of insanity? The Democrats needlessly provoked an ally, and the President is needlessly provoking the Iranians and the Russians.

When asked recently about his veto of the health care for children bill, he answered with this stunning statement: "People have access to health care in America... you just go to an emergency room," in other words, let them eat cake. This, at a time when the CDC is warning of a super strain of staph infections, that are caught mostly where? In hospitals.

Showing his full arrogance, and his complete lack of understanding of the realities of what this nation is all about, he told the gathered reporters that they could ask him all the questions that they wanted, and he would feign interest, ."you know..act like I'm really thinkin' on it. Then, I'll smile and say, "That's a good question," and then I'll leave", he told them. And he did just that.

Are you awake yet? I know this subject matter is tedious and boring, because there's more pressing matters at hand, like Britney's custody battle,
