Morning Sentinel
Ousted congresswoman
told truth about Bush
Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel Wednesday, December 27, 2006

This refers to the article about U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney of Georgia (Dec. 9). She was the only Democrat to tell it like it is. She was ousted by the party bigwigs because she was so outspoken. Her last act was to introduce a bill to impeach Bush. In it she states "Bush violated his oath of office to defend the Constitution and the nation's laws." She also accused him of "misleading Congress about the war in Iraq and violating privacy laws with his domestic spying." Everything she says is right on target and the illustrious new Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi says she will not entertain proposals to sanction Bush. This tells me the "politicians," no matter what party they belong to, are all just down in Washington playing games and we (the voters) are just pawns in a self-serving chess game.

Let's face it, Bush is without a doubt the worst president this country has had in my lifetime. McKinney has suggested that Bush had prior knowledge about the 9/11 attack but kept it quiet to allow friends to profit from its aftermath. This is almost unthinkable but I believe it is partially true, due to his deep-seated denial of all things negative. Just look at his record of denial in the Iraq war.

For the good of this country, the president should step down along with his cohort Dick Cheney. But before he gets rid of Cheney, appoint James Baker or Lee Hamilton vice president.

Maybe one of them can return this country to some semblance of respectability.

You really must have a very short lifetime. The absolute worst president of the 20th century, is still alive and prancing around the world, still spouting his anit-American venom. He is the infamous and ignorant Jimmy Carter. Anyone who looks at history with minimal honesty, knows thta the current problems we have with Islamic fanaicism, can be laid at Carter's doorstep. His dealings with Iran and the Shah, laid the foundation to what we are now experiencing. This man should be locked up in a rubber room for his forays in fiction. If you can't see that, then you are also drinking the kool aid.report abuse

Mr. Morrisey's assessment of President Bush as the worst president in his lifetime shows he must have been born after William Jefferson Clinton. I have to admit, he writes pretty well for someone born just since 2000. Obviously wasn't educated in the public school system...report abuse

Congress was mislead about Iraq long before Bush took office. Surely You have read their pre-2000 statements by now. As for McKinney, the epitome of credibility, she destroyed her own career.... and a bit more than her outspokenness was involved. Blatant race-baiting sealed her fate.report abuse
