Progressive Democrat Issue 192
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
As I think about the terrorist attacks in India and the still declining economy I am struck by just how little Bush ever accomplished. When he entered office, Clinton handed him a strong economy with a solid budget surplus, and a definite warning that al-Qaeda would be a top priority. Bush ruined that economy to the point where at NO POINT during Bush's terms was the economy outright good and at least twice it has entered recession territory. Bush squandered that surplus, giving us the worst deficit in our history. And he initially ignored the warning about al-Qaeda, and since 9/11/2001 has failed to stop Osama bin Laden and his network. They still operate worldwide, stronger than ever, hitting targets almost at will. Bush has failed miserably. So we are waiting, impatiently waiting, for Obama to, we hope, save the day. But, my god, Obama has a tough job ahead of him given the mess Bush is handing him. We are going to need some patience to get us through because no one could solve our current problems quickly. But even though he is not yet our President, he is acting Presidential and already working on America's problems:
This week I am focusing on, well, Thanksgiving related stuff. My usual Thoughts on Thanksgiving, and a reminder of Pretty Bird Woman House, a woman's shelter on a Sioux Indian reservation that we helped save and which the liberal blogsphere continues to help out. I also cover Operation Survivor, helping returning veterans. For my Brooklyn readers I have a list of businesses that have been supportive of preserving our community from irresponsible development. And, of course, I continue local coverage in 16 states.
Here is this week's newsletter:
