Comments on: Tony Snow: There Is A ‘Sense Of Crisis Of Confidence In Government’ http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/12/snow-crisis/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:46:10 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Dave http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/12/snow-crisis/comment-page-2/#comment-1270151 Dave Thu, 14 Dec 2006 17:00:50 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/12/snow-crisis/#comment-1270151 <em>"The president believes that in putting together a way forward he will be able to address a lot of the concerns that the American public has."</em> - What a smart idea! Coming up with a PLAN! And only THREE YEARS after the first one fell apart! Why is he coming up with a plan? Because he's been completely isolated. Because he's against the wall. Because he's rejected every outside plan he's been presented with. <em>"There’s an opportunity here also for Democrats and Republicans to work together."</em> Like they did in the ISG report- which Bush rejected. So now- don't worry people- now he's going to think of something good. Sorry, Tony.

Sorry, Tony. The crisis of confidence continues.

Will Bunch decries the “press corpse” by quoting White House Press Secrectary and former talk show host Tony Snow, who seems to be harder on the government than the people who are supposed to be asking him tough questions: Listen to what Snow told Howie Kurtz in a sit-down interview on CNN this weekend: You’ve got to keep in mind that what we do have is a political season where there are a lot of highly contentious issues. And you also have a time now where you’re having a debate about Iraq, where passions run high. So, you’ve got to expect from time to time people are going to push, and sometimes I’ll push back.

In the polls that say "8% of Americans think Bush is doing a fine job," you've got to wonder who these people are and where they get their information from. There are a lot of people in this country who just don't have a clue and the Repugs have exploited their ignorance to their advantage. The fact that they're still trying to do it shows just how ignorant they are themselves -- they can't see the fire for the smoke. That could be a good thing... let them burn and stop defacing this country.

I am sorry. I must have missed the discussion about Ahmadinejad and his Holocaust forum. Is that not a “Progressive” topic? Or do you all still have you heads up you’re a$$ when is come to the middle east?

Sounds like the boy who cried, the sky is falling with one notable exception. The wheels are really coming off the administration and it's Iraq policy. They are the gang the not only can't shoot straight, but the ones that can't talk straight either. At first it was weapons of mass destruction, then regime change, then nation building, now no clue. That pretty much sums up the changing positions this President has taken since this fiasco began and he appears to have run out of ideas. Oh, I forget, now it's, "The Way Forward". I suppose the enemy will stop fighting now that Bush's Iraq strategy is "The Way Forward". After all it's not like they have out maneuered him at every turn. They aren't real General's in the sense that former General H. Norman Swartzkaft meant when he said that Sadam wasn't a military man or strategist. I mean who could lose to a few dead enders, Sadam loyalists or former bathist members. Our Commander In Chief is smarter than that right? I mean he wouldn't risk his legacy by being dumb enough to be defeat by a group of morons, would he? Of course not, that's why he has the new strategy, "The way forward". The way forward is the greatest phrase ever used since, "All we have to fear is fear itself". This phrase will not only end the war, but go down in history as the most defining statement of our time.
