Bush 41 on Bush 43 - The Biography

The New York Times: Reports on a new biography of Bush 41" Where Meacham breaks new and startling ground is reporting how needlessly harsh Bush 41 thought the rhetoric was, including Bush 43’s characterization in 2002 of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an “axis of evil.” And for that tone Bush 41 largely blames Dick Cheney, defense secretary during his own administration and a man Bush 41 believed had grown more hawkish over time,.."

Lets Get Real:

One can almost say that Bush 41 is spinning for his son, that he blames Cheney and co for the War in Iraq and the tough tone of the Bush 43 Administration.  It is what liberals having been hoping for  in essence for different reasons, the left and right want to blame those around Bush 43 for the failed War in Iraq.  For Bush 41 the Republican establishment it is about showing that Iraq does not belong on the Bush 43 legacy, while for the left they want to see a green President being lead to war by his more talented team around him.   In essence they are both right, but they failed understand one point, at the end of the day Bush 43 was President, he chose these men and women around him, thus Iraq is a Bush Legacy for both Bush's, father and son.

Government CUTS to Spending - UK Finance

BBC News: Reports " Four government departments have provisionally agreed to cut their spending by an average of 30% over the next four years, Chancellor George Osborne has announced. "

Lets Get Real:

The UK HAS to cut the welfare state, its either the State or a society that bankrolls lower payment to workers and creates a cycle that does not allow people to get back to work.   On the other hand the Conservative Government has to be smart, it should not give ammo to the left wing groups, such as the BBC and the Guardian.  It does not need pictures of those that have a disability from the physical to the mental outside No 10 protesting at government cuts.    The working worker wants those that have never worked or used the system to get something for nothing.   The Labour Party is not a real threat, the real threat comes when the Government thinks it can do what it likes, the defeat in the House of Lords over tax credits shows what happens when the government take its eyes off the ball.   Thus the Conservative government has to be clever, and always see the left as a threat.
