Sen. Joe Biden (D-Delaware) told Bush his comments on Democrats appeasing terrorists were “bullshit“:
“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous statement,” Biden said angrily in a brief interview just off the Senate floor.
“He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has. His intelligence community pointed that out, not me.”
I like that the closer we get to the end of Bush’s reign from hell, the more outspoken and antagonistic our Senators are becoming. We need to see more of this!
I knew today was going to be a good day this morning when I came to work and checked my feeds and discovered three "news" items that made me grin from ear to ear. They are the following:
- The Gallup poll that shows 71% of Americans don't like Bush's job performance. His rating is actually worse than Nixon's 66% disapproval rating during the Watergate scandal. I think this warrants the purchasing of one of those "01.20.09" bumper stickers.
- Not that I'm bragging, but a poll done by CNN shows that Obama is losing support. In my completely unprofessional (and100% personal) opinion, his loss of support might be attributed to his losing Pennsylvania. Clinton lost support when she went through her losing streak during the February primaries, and she came back out alright, so there is a chance that Obama could easily regain that support. Either way, this election feels like it will never end. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting for the convention in August.
- A huge "lol of the day," and probably the best thing I've seen in the past month (thanks, Anna):

All in all, it's looking like it's going to be a great Friday.
Being a huge Hillary Clinton fan, it is only natural for people to assume that I will be voting for her in the upcoming California primary. I’m not going to lie - I love the Clintons. The whole family, actually. It’s a shame they didn’t have any sons or gay daughters, because I’d do anything to be a Clinton.
With that said, the upcoming Presidential election (that I have been waiting far too long for) is not as clear cut for me as it should be. I love Clinton and some of her policies. At the same time, I like some of Obama’s policies… and some of Edwards’s as well. When it comes to the 2008 election, I’m facing a bit of a problem: the Democratic candidates are all so solid that I’m not sure which one is most likely to take the White House on January 20, 2009.
Apparently, teen birth rates are up (quite a lot) for the first time in 14 years. I also enjoy the fact that births by unwed mothers are still connected with teen births. I thought we had accepted the whole single parent thing?
Think it has anything to do with Bush’s ridiculously failed attempt at sex education? Abstinence only education does not work, Mr. President.
