Notable and Quotable (III)

Posted on May 18, 2009 by Kendall Harmon

You started out on Monday questioning why we were being so opposite of George Bush in all these questions. And on Friday I’m answering questions about why are we so much like George Bush on all these questions.

I’ll let you guys discern what period of day that all changed.

—Robert Gibbs, Barack Obama’s Press secretary, as quoted in this morning’s Globe and Mail

    Actually, in terms of debt-spending and mis-speaking in public, the Obama Administration HAS left the Bush 43 administration far behind. It’s unbelievable how they have been allowed to get away with as much as they have by the same people who demonized the Bush admin for far less.

    [blockquote] diane marie from calgary, alberta from Canada writes: What this all tells me is that the security, intelligence, and military communities (aka the MIC) run the U.S. – with the assistance of organized religion.[/blockquote] Ah yes, diane marie and organized religion is something you Canadians have pretty much dispensed with.

    I apologize for the previous snarky comment. apparently 58% of Canadians believe in God.
