Obama inherited an excellent homeland security system from his predecessor President Bush.

Hello, anybody home?
Fort Hood?
FBI investigated?
Wasn't Homeland Security supposed to improve communications among agencies?
We now know all this stuff about the guy AFTER the fact?
The Homeland Security that includes FEMA?
Right. Excellent.

A rational approach to meaningful healthcare reform as contrasted to increased bureaucracy under ObamaKare:
"We should repeal all government policies that increase health costs and decrease the availability of medical services. For example, every state has laws that mandate coverage of specific disabilities and diseases. These laws reduce consumer choice and increase the cost of health insurance. By making insurance more expensive, mandated benefits increase the number of uninsured American workers."

So, under your rational approach I guess the folks with specific disabilities (read pre existing conditions) and deseases will just be sh*t outta luck, huh?
So, your insurance is good until you get a desease, then you're no longer covered. Yeah, that's a rational plan if you're the CEO of an insurance company.

How'd that work out on September 11, 2001?

Funny you should ask. Clinton left Bush nothing. Even stole heirloom furnishings out of the White House. That administration was too busy peddling presidential pardons (chief pardon hawker Eric Holder) to establish any standards for homeland security.

An alternate view of retirement investing, instead of allowing the government to control your future:
"Politicians in Washington are stealing your future.
Every year, they take 12.4% of your income to prop up their failed Social Security system - a system that is heading toward bankruptcy.
If you are an American earning the median income of $31,695 per year, and were given the option of investing that same amount of money in a stock mutual fund, you would retire a millionaire - without winning the lottery or a TV game show.
That million dollars would provide you with a retirement income of over $100,000 per year - about five times what you could expect from Social Security.
Even a very conservative investment strategy would yield three times the benefits promised by Social Security."

What A GREAT idea.
And if only we had done that under Bush everyone's retirement protfolio would have lost 50% in value!!
Excellent idea!
There's also this little problem.
Right now, current workers are paying the benefit being collected by reirees. The system's not bankrupt, moron.
There will be a problem around 2030, when we are projected to have som any folks collecting benefits.
If you start letting workers do their own investing from their withholding, then who is going to pay for all the folks collecting benefits?
Dumbass, that as the problem with 'W's grand Social Security plan.
His own commission determined his plan would cost over 10 trillion dollars.
But hey, if you want to tell all the old folks that the gravy train is over, be my guest.

Oh, Clinton did manage to leave inteeligence, but unfortunately Bush had none, so he didn't bother to read the daily security briefings.

Not when political correctness rules the land. Why nobody in the FBI or Homeland Security wants to be accused of "Acting Stupidly" and appear to be profiling. Not while the Ditherer-in-Chief has a full deck of race cards and won't hesitate to toss one out and kill a bureaucrat's career in a second.

Bush did read the dailies and even requested more info on Osama in the early summer of 2001. But the CIA's list of eminent threats of terrorist attacks included sites which made up 67.9% of the discovered world at that time.

Is "reiree" some kind of preference, like Barney Frank prefers reirees.

Republican trickle down economics :
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg)-- A tea service, an Oyster chronograph watch and assorted ashtrays once used by Bernard and Ruth Madoff will be auctioned on Nov. 14 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers to benefit victims of his $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
Bernard Madoff, 71, had 17 Rolexes, including the Oyster chronograph estimated to fetch as much as $63,500. He also dressed his wrist with seven Cartier watches, and tickers from Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Franck Muller.
Almost all those watchmakers are in or near Geneva, a city where financial institutions -- including Union Bancaire Privee, Genevalor Benbassat & Cie. and Hyposwiss Private Bank Ltd.-- lost about $7 billion from investments with Madoff, undermining confidence in the fund-of-hedge-funds model that Geneva’s bankers helped pioneer in the 1960s.
The Nov. 14 auction offers 150 to 200 lots documenting the Madoffs’ obsessive acquisition of brand-name products. On the block are 11 leather Hermes handbags owned by Ruth Madoff, 68, as well as bags by Chanel, Prada, Jil Sander, Judith Leiber, Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton.
The Madoff material is part of a larger auction of jewelry and other items seized under the federal Asset Forfeiture Program in connection with “narcotics crimes, white-collar crimes, all federal crimes,” said U.S. Deputy Marshal Roland Ubaldo. The sale was organized by the U.S. Marshals Service, which provided the list of items for sale.

Republican trickle down? This liberal minded crook Madoff was a big Democrat campaign contributor. Democrat tricle up?

Hmm, and yet Bush's own intelligence report clearly warned of an impending attack and even gave the names and locations of three of the soon to be hijackers.
Of course, he was just too busy clearin' brush down in Crawford to be bothered by all that stuff.
Clinton apprehended and punished all those who attacked the US on his watch.
Bush read My Pet Goat.
