Hands off Presidency

Hands off Presidency

George Bush2 presidency is well on the way of becoming the most successful ever. The coterie that sponsored and promoted him has already racked up the most spectacular achievements.

Reagan, the original hands off President had spawned a genre of die hard idealists steeped in the cold war philosophy of making US, a military power of shock and awe proportions and a strict belief in trickled down economy. Among them were Cheney, Rumsfeld. They chaffed in back rooms of conservative think tanks set up by interested big corporations when GB1 and Bill Clinton dashed their hopes. They were looking for other hands off President and they found one in fledgling GB2.

And what a string of successes have they racked up.

Iraq war will feed the hand that fed them for many decades to come. This war will spark other wars and the arms will be needed everywhere

They have put US on the fast road to catch up with the rest of world to make the politics the last refuge of scoundrels, circumcise the individual freedoms, turn majority rule to an oligarchy and brand any dissent as traitor ship.

The welfare state was always an anathema to GB2 and the promoters. They have accumulated enough debt that will gnaw at the social security, healthcare and the programs designed to help the trickling of burgeoning economic prosperity for a long time to come.

The legacy assured , the hands off Presidency GB2 will be long gone but the US will continue to reel from the most successful presidency ever.
