4. This guy is living in never-never land.
He ignores the depression era savings rate and gap between the rich and poor. He ignores the falling stock market and sub-prime crisis. He ignores the falling dollar and skyrocketing energy and food costs. He ignores the millions who can't afford health care or college tuition. But the bush lowered taxes and that's the only thing that seems to register on his pea-sized brain.

He ignores the thousands of dead American soldiers. He ignores the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. He ignores the ever expanding cost of the war. He ignores the length of time it has taken just to get to a point where the previously non existent Al Qaida in Iraq is suffering some disorganization. The bush is seeing some minor victory in the occupation and that is the only thing that registers.

Then he compares the bush to Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was fighting to keep the United States together. The bush is fighting to keep it apart. The growing gulf between the reality-based US community and authoritarian-based US community will continue to expand and separate us all.

Those who live in never-never land and those who live in reality are forever separated.
