for she said, in December of 2008: people will soon “start to thank Bush for what he’s done”.
In 2008, Condoleezza Rice, America’s then Secretary of State, comments were captured by CNN Politics.com:
(CNN) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that despite President Bush’s low approval ratings, people will soon “start to thank this president for what he’s done.”
“So we can sit here and talk about the long record, but what I would say to you is that this president has faced tougher circumstances than perhaps at any time since the end of World War II, and he has delivered policies that are going to stand the test of time,” Rice said in an interview that aired on CBS’ “Sunday Morning.” […]

Well, is two years soon enough to see a prediction come true? Apparently it only took two years for America to think like Condoleezza Rice. Americans now hold Mr. Bush in high esteem. A popularity poll has ranked Mr. Bush immediately after President Obama – with President Obama being the most popular.
While performance, logic, common sense and a host of human traits can be used to understand the selection of Barack Obama, it takes something special to understand the selection of Ex-President George W. Bush. And that something special may be forgiving and forgetting.
Do Americans now accept slicing penises as proper conduct for a political party?
Do Americans now accept water-boarding as proper conduct for a political party?
Do Americans now accept selling cocaine to minority neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California as proper conduct for a political party?
Do Americas now accept starting the Iraq war, a war of aggression, as proper conduct for a political party?
Do Americans now accept the outing of a covert CIA agent as a normal activity under the leadership of the neocons political party?
Is Satan smiling?
If forgiving and forgetting is not the foundation for America’s new thinking about Ex-President George W. Bush, then Satan must be smiling at a massive new membership gain.
What did happen to America?
Something must have changed for America. Since past performances of neocons cannot change, perhaps perceptions of those past performances may have changed?
Perhaps America got new information on why its sons, daughters and millions of Iraqi citizens were put in a deadly harm’s way in Iraq. The Iraqi war started 7 years ago under a “16 word reason” that the world, capable of guiding a rocket to the moon, was not able to understand.
Perhaps America decided to adopt John McCain’s idea that, “We’ll look back on Iraq as an academic argument”. The academic argument idea might easily “mis-train” those minds that uses America’s “current events” news pool while their “common sense latch” is turned off.
The Iraqi war was the instrument by which American business got a dominant access to the world’s second largest oil reserve. While that not only seems illegal, it also seems UN-AMERICAN. But neither the United Nations nor Ron Paul has commented – or is likely to comment. America’s “current events” news pool won’t likely contain that information.
Satan might be happy with the “resume” of the neocons, but would America’s ombudsmen(voters)? It looks like Condoleezza Rice understood, two years ago, where America was going. But did she think that the name of the destination was HELL?
A fool and his country may have already parted.
