'Diplomat'......Please, oh Pleasd tell us how things were better while George W. Bush was in charge!
I mean....lets's see....a multi-Trilliion surplus, compared to a multi-trillion deficit....Yup! THAT'S a great thing to spout as a 'success'.
Oh! and Americans who torture???? THAT is the biggest, the worst 'deficit' that anyone can imagine.....BECAUSE it has shown what is supposed to
be a Nation's Pride, to be a Nation's Shame.
AND this 'shame' is an a priori result of a man known as George W. Bush.
If you do not KNOW what 'a priori' means, then look it up....(hint)...it is Latin.
There seems to be, since Ford 'pardoned' Nixon after WaterGate...whence Richard M Nixon was clearly quilty, and even 'resigned' as 'President',
he, nonetheless, was 'absolved'.....or in the vernacular.....'pardoned' by his successor, Gerald R. Ford, the Vice-President and second in
succession....who, due to the Political Climate at the time, succombed to pressures and 'pardoned' a person who should have been tried for high
crimes and misdemeanors, per our Constitution.
However, even though Richard M. Nixon was guilty of many crimes, and history will weigh those crimes in due course....
This happened about 40 years ago....
Let's look to a more current Ex-President, who, while not over-seeing and then denying a break-in at the WaterGate Hotel has, instead, condoned
something far, far worse. This individual, whilst occupying the the Office of the President of the United States of America, has, by his own
admission on National Television, admitted to authorizing torture of certain detainees.
Allow me to emphasize this....a sitting President, in an interview (admittedly, NOT under Oath) admitted to authorizing the torture of certain
detainees.....
THIS IS BIG NEWS, FOLKS!!!!!!
