More of the Same Bush Bashing

Chris Cillizza notes that in the 2010 Senate races, Democrats are once again trying to use the strategy of tying Republican candidates to former President Bush. Much of the article focuses on whether the practice will get too old and whether Bush's popularity will improve like other former presidents, but at the end of the day, the effectiveness of such an approach will depend on how Americans view President Obama. If Obama is still broadly popular, the economy has improved, and things are relatively stable on the foreign policy/national security front, then I think Democrats will be able to run campaigns saying, "If you like the way the country is heading now, then don't vote for Republican X, because he wants to return to the old, failed Bush policies." However, if Obama's popularity is starting to wane, the economy is in turmoil, and/or there's a major international crisis or national security incident, any Democrat who starts in with the Bush bashing will just look desperate, like they're trying to distract attention from the current administration's problems.

Obama's policies are doomed to failure, and the only question becomes WHEN. No doubt by election time in 2010, the economic/unemployment situation will have really hit bottom; and any attempt by D's/Obama to brand Bush with same will be ludicrous and detrimental to their cause [this economy is definately Obama's NOW due to his deficit-busting governmental spending policies]!!!!!

Obama's Miranda Madness

Less than an hour into the interrogation of the Christmas Day "underwear bomber," the U.S. Justice Department instructed FBI agents to advise Abdulmutallab — an al Qaeda operative from Nigeria — of his Miranda rights. Shockingly, interviews since have yielded "no actionable intelligence."

Stop plea bargaining with terrorists!
