US Elections: Forward, or Back to the Bush Regime?

Because it really does matter what others in the international community think of America and it's President.

From Pravda:

Those of us on the other end of the time line several timescales ahead of the USA will have to wait until Wednesday morning to find out whether the citizens of the United States of America have decided to move forward with President Obama or to slip back to the fumbling, bumbling elitist Republicans...

Those of us who know the American people have no doubt that the intelligent choice, nay the only choice, will be made since only four years ago, the Republican regime of George W. Bush sent the United States of America and the economy of the rest of the world sliding into the abyss as it pandered to the whims of the super-rich elitists which gravitate around that party and neuter the occupant of the White House before he can sit down in the Oval Office.

Four years ago, the United States was gripped by a vice of incompetence and corporate greed, as the likes of Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and their cronies played political games at the expense of their hard-working citizens and nearly sent toe citizens of the world to Hades by trying to start world war three.

Four years ago, the United States of America was synonymous with concentration camps, torture, illegal detention, murder, rape, sodomy, tyranny; four years ago, Americans would have to lie about their nationality when travelling abroad and say they were Canadians.

Four years ago, millions of jobs were lost as the effects of the Bush regime's incompetence started to bite. People lost their homes, people lost their savings, people lost their livelihoods. Four years ago, the "Foreclosure" signs started to appear like mushrooms in communities across the United States of America.

Those of us who know the American people also know that they understand that these massive ills cannot be righted in three and a half years. It takes time and it takes collaboration between the Presidential team and Congress. Despite the fact that the Republicans have spent the last four years trying to make things difficult for President Obama, he has set the ball rolling and it is gathering momentum. The economy is turning round, jobs are being created, the massive Bush-era investments in the military have been pumped back into the economy and the signs are starting to show.

Make no mistake: the Republican Bush-era Remnants are there waiting in the side-wings and this time around they are the bumbling old fools of yesteryear, mad and rabid for power, thirsty for war, who will send the world over the abyss as they implement 1980s-style policies in the 21st century. The world has moved on.

The American people understand this. That is why I shall awake on Wednesday morning knowing we can all move forward together, with President Obama as a trustworthy, articulate and intelligent partner in the international community.

On this I agree with you 100%. I am dumbfounded by the blindness of some people who can not see that by electing Romney, he'll drag the same old choir back into Washington and the policies of before. And they will do this again on the back of the working person in this country once again putting retirements and jobs at risk. Yet, they will come here and flame you for this and then they will state all the other things they think caused it or use the tired line, Bush is history, let it go.
I sure as hell hope Obama wins this as this country was the pile of crap of the world when Bush left office. You are right, an American couldn't hold their head up abroad and say they were American. We can now and only because we have a President the world sees as just and right and has their respect. It is a fact that in some countries, Bush would be arrested the minute he landed there because they consider him a war criminal. That is amazing for a US President that even the RNC didn't invite to their convention.

Actually this editorial is from Pravda, but it is right on target, I agree with it 100%.

I have nightmares of Cheney frothing at the mouth, with a gun in his hand. And let's not even talk about the resurrection of Newty and juvenile, hateful antics of Rove. And oh yeah, Romney's good friend Bibi, who "there shall be no light between." Frightening.

Yes I just saw the Pravda notation. Still, a Russian newspaper getting it so right.

Wow--I didn't think it would be this easy. Now I do hope that we can all work together--mostly to learn to work together again. Wouldn't it be great if both parties spoke to all of us and election time was just a matter of choosing the best over the really good--what a dream am I!

What's going to be rough, is that the U.S. can only keep borrowing money from China to support those with their hand outs for once again, all the "free" things promised. They are not free, someone has to work and pay for them, or we borrow the money. Both of those will become even more in short supply under the president.
