“You’ve covered your ass”

“You’ve covered your ass”

14 years ago tomorrow, George W. Bush was sitting on his porch at the fake ranch in Crawford when he received a memo entitled “Bin Laden determined to strike inside the United States.” It was later reported he told the briefer, “All right. You’ve covered your ass now.” And then he went fishing.

The memo

Let’s vote for another Bush shall we? Both daddy and firstborn son started wars in the middle east leading to the horrifying situation that exists there today. Jeb! will undoubtedly want to finish the job one way or the other.

President Obama made a stirring speech today, exhorting Democrats to stand firm against another war, this time with Iran which has agreed to a nuclear non-proliferation deal. Let’s hope he has the votes in congress to fail a veto override.
