News from and about the Bush administration continues to astonish. In adherence to a law passed in 1990, presidents must submit a report to Congress every four years summarizing the status and latest findings re: global climate change and environmental problems. It comes as no big surprise that some of the latest findings tell us that an increase in temperature levels brings with it a host of problems for the elderly, the very young, the frail, and in particular the poor of these three groups. And it also comes as no surprise that the report itself was delayed--entangled in what Senator John Kerry called a realm that was "rhetorical, not real."
Hitler once said that if you are going to lie, tell the biggest lie. Because that is the one that people will believe. We've seen this with the Bush administration over and over again. Now, even one of Bush's own press secretaries, Scott McClellan, has emerged from the axis of deception to point the finger at the murky bed of lies--Iraq, Katrina. How much more can we take before these people leave the White House?
Obama is like a virgin spring running clear and free in the desert. From the realm of chaos and destruction, he emerges a man with a message. And the message is truth. The message is hope. And the message is now.
