Bush Capital Spent, Is it Time for Him to Go?
The Washington Post reports today that many in both parties believe President Bush has spent his political capital.
The series of setbacks on the domestic front could signal that the president has weakened leverage over his party, a situation that could embolden the opposition, according to analysts and politicians from both sides. Bush faces the potential of a summer of discontent when his capacity to muscle political Washington into following his lead seems to have diminished and few easy victories appear on the horizon.
Ralph Nader and Kevin Zeese argue in the Boston Globe, that it's time for the "I" word.
The Downing Street Memo campaign could make things significantly tougher for Bush.
And here's a bit of news...Think Progress reports the Bush Administration was for Amnesty International before it was against it. Step back to March 27, 2003.Here's what Rumsfeld said about Iraq:
We know that it’s a repressive regime…Anyone who has read Amnesty International or any of the human rights organizations about how the regime of Saddam Hussein treats his people…
He did the same on two other occasions. The ineluctable conclusion:
So the rule here appears to be: Amnesty is a legitimate source for human rights violations of other countries, but is an unreliable and irresponsible source for reporting on the U.S.
