\tMy old friend John Hess makes the astute observation that President Bush must have been having an ADD moment when he was discussing with his God the issue of a new Homeland Security Secretary. Surely the Lord knew about Bernie Kerick's ethical issues.\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tThat may explain a lot of things.\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tIt's kind of disturbing to hear that this president is acting as an agent of God and takes his counsel from the Big Guy, when you look at some of the dumb-ass decisions that he has made.\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tTo name a few:\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tInvading Iraq.\r\n\t
\r\n<\/p>
Invading Iraq with a bare-bones military.\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tFailing to realize that Iraqis would not greet the U.S. invaders with open arms.\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tFailing to guard essential infrastructure in Iraq after the initial invasion.\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tSpending billions on a non-functioning ballistic missile defense system.\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tCutting taxes on corporations and the rich to create jobs.\r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tDestroying a well-functioning retirement system and replacing it with a national 401K-type system that has already left retirees penniless in Britain, Chile and other places it's been tried. \r\n
\r\n<\/p>
\tTrying to debate while wearing a hidden earpiece.\r\n\t
\r\n<\/p>
Eating pretzels while watching TV.\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tNow, thanks to the perceptive pundit Hess, we can rest our minds. It's not the Lord who has been giving bad advice; it's His messenger who has been failing to pay attention.\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tWho knows, he may be having these conversations with God while playing video games, or running on his treadmill?\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tWe the People need to start putting political pressure on the president's handlers to make sure that the president has some quality time each day to sit in some quiet room free of such distractions, where he can commune with his Maker and carefully jot down the message of the day.\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
\tThis could spare us all a great deal of unnecessary angst, suffering and death.\r\n
