The Presidential Oaf of Office

Today I watched the swearing in of George W. Bush, an appropriately named event, as I was "swearing in" the direction of the television. His job, as defined by the Oath, is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, which he has been doing swimmingly when White House servants haven't been wiping his ass with it.

Under his rule the First and Forth Amendments have been subverted by the Patriot Act. We could have guessed there'd be trouble by the use of the term "patriot", as in, "If you don't vote for it you ain't a patriot". Chris said that the only better name would have been the “If You Don’t Vote for this You’re Gay” Act.

Under this administration:

-The number of public cameras has increased one-thousand fold.
-The power of big government has increased while our freedom has decreased.
-His failure to stop the 9-11 attacks has led to unprecedented security screens, random arrests, and suspension of habeas corpus.
-His economic policies rob the future by borrowing against it today to the profits of corporations.
-His “improvements” in Medicaid benefit the pharmaceutical industry and barely affect the patient at great cost to the America’s depleted finances.

In his inauguration speech he talks about spreading freedom and his supporters blindly applaud, hanging on his words rather than gauging his actions. That's called freedumb.

With each page that gets torn from the calendar, it gets closer and closer to 1984.
