“W” won’t come out to play with Barack
There was no question in my mind voting for George W. Bush in the 2001 Presidential race. At that time, I was a registered Democrat. In ‘04 and after Al Gore chose Joe Lieberman as his running mate, I stuck with “W”. I was still a registered Democrat at the time.
‘splainin…..
My vote for “W” in 2000 was due to the fact he said he would put Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice in his cabinet; the Crème-de-la-Crème of our “Negro” political society. In my opinion, it was analogous to Lincoln putting Frederick Douglas in his cabinet and Lyndon Johnson putting Fannie Lou Hamer in his cabinet. It was a big deal for me and I wanted to support his far-sighted vision.
My vote for “W” in ‘04 was also any easy one. In my opinion, Al Gore was doing well with me and in the polls until he bought in Joe Lieberman as his running mate. I was no longer torn. I had wanted to vote again for “W” because of the “Leave no child behind” act and I felt Democrats would dismantle the act before giving it a fighting chance to flourish. With Lieberman on the Democratic ticket, I was satisfied voting once again for “W”. My family members were furious! However, they still call me -ever so often- asking about my feelings regarding Pres. Obama. (Smile)
When “W” nominated Harriet Miers as a U.S. Supreme Court candidate and the Neocons dumped on him with heavy and virulent torrents of do-do, I felt his pain.
As so it is, and again in my opinion, “W” continues to be a decent man trying his dimmest not to again be manipulated by the powers that be:

God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. It is said when the alphabet was being invented, the scholars were stuck with what to do after the letter “V” and so they re-treated to the letter “U” calling it a “double-u”. Hence, calling it “Dub-yah” is incorrect. X,Y and Z could have been the initials of the scholars. (Smile)

W declines Obama's invitation...
By old mark
Excerpt:
George W. Bush declined an invitation to go to ground zero in NYC to celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden. President Obama called Bush to inform him of bin Laden's death, and later extended an invitation to Bush to go to the gathering of families of victims of teh attack on the Twin Towers in 2001. Bush's spokesman stated W prefers to "avoid the spotlight"...
