Now he is going to make the same mistakes in Afghanistan, in an unwinnable situation. http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/blog1.php/2010/09/01/a-war-and-a-speech-light-on-necessity#c219 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:04:08 +0000 Rory Sanguilense [Visitor] c218@http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/ 'Don't let government touch my Social Security or Medicare!' What a bungling bunch of rotters are with the anti-gov and tea party crowd. If SS were done away with, there would be a mass suicide on the DC Mall! that would put the onus on these shameful demagogues. http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/blog1.php/2010/08/16/social-securty-under-attack#c218 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:59:23 +0000 Rosalie Johnson [Visitor] c217@http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/ FDR had a credibility and a vocal genius that no one has matched save perhaps JFK but he didn't have long in office...Obama is mistrusted by too many underinformed people to be of much use as a national consoler. People still doubt he is Christian or even a citizen. FDR could hark back to his patrician origins and sound like a lefty aristocrat, which was persuasive during the Depression http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/blog1.php/2010/08/26/obama-and-fdr#c217 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:54:53 +0000 Joe Sanchez [Visitor] c216@http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/ It's never been a very mature state; the fury of the politics and the gun lobby and the ant-intellectualism make it one of the proud to be stupid places on earth...There will probably be a resurgence of the kind of politics Palin, Bush, et al really believe is real. http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/blog1.php/2010/09/03/the-spoiled-brat-patrol#c216 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:11:22 +0000 James Caputi [Visitor] c207@http://roughroadreview.com/blogs/ More of the Bush legacy I am afraid. The suicides are indeed monstrous; the capacity for these so-called leaders to keep sending these folks back to that disaster area is beyond tragic. Thanks for the post.
