Now They Care About “Politicizing” The Military

11:03 pm EST August 12th, 2008 | News | 6 Comments

Over at Michelle Malkin’s place they’re all a-twitter over Michelle Obama meeting military spouses, but they apparently had their fainting couches out for cleaning when in 2004 Bush held campaign event after campaign event using the military as a backdrop.

I can’t wait for the next few years when they tell us the executive branch just has way too much power and that White House insiders should be jailed if they ignore congressional requests to appear.

    So true. “Independent prosecutors” will be all the rage with the drooling malkin herd.

    You think you’ll have to wait that long?

    Are you expecting the Democrats who control congress to be investigating an Obama White House? I guess you don’t think he’ll have a very ethical term in office.

    Bush is Prez, n’est pas? “Mission Accomplished” was not his doing, but the doing of the crew of the Abraham Lincoln; when they left for the Gulf they stood on deck and spelled out, “we’re ready” and when they returned they spelled out “mission accomplished”–cause they’d accomplished what they set out to do– and the whole, no-nothing-about the military populace proceeded to use that unfortunate slogan against Bush. Kudos to him for not saying “wasn’t my idea but the idea of the 5 thousand sailors who’d just arrived back stateside…proud that they’d done what they set out to do.

    Mary Sue, he either takes credit for where he stands or he doesn’t. He can’t have it both ways. If he’s not going to pass responsibility for the sign on to the 5,000 sailors (not a one of which failed to serve, BTW) then he has to take the heat for it.

    Sean, I suppose that passing the buck is acceptable in liberal circles, but I applaud Bush for not entering the political nit-picking fray by wasting time explaining it. Clinton would have used up a week clarifying.
