Should Americans Be Ashamed Bush (Again) Is Choosing Not To Pursue Osama?
<snip>

I've disagreed with President Bush on many things -- from policy to political tactic to spin control -- but I never thought I'd be ashamed of Bush.

That moment came for me when Bush said, for the umpteenth time, that the U.S. would not dedicate itself to capturing Osama Bin Laden.

2. there's a difference
If you don't understand the difference in the words, consult a dictionary.

It's not easy to be ashamed of one's president, because for better or worse, he represents our nation. And I've never before been ashamed of the United States, or what it represents.

7. Bush has no shame at using Osama as the bogeyman
Bush has wheeled him out just before the election or when the public support is waning. The videos are fake.

5. I was ashamed when he took his oath of office -
in fact, I was ashamed of him more times than I can count when he was governor of Texas. I've been putting up with this asshole for way too long and been ashamed way too many times. Bin Laden is valuable to the Bush Adminstration - he's a convenient boogeyman. They don't want to capture him. I'm not ashamed about it - I'm outraged.

9. THAT'S it ...
Ashamed ... I never thought I would resort to overused/mindless cliches, but I am definitely on the verge of being ashamed to be an american, with this country letting these freaks have power in the first place, much less this long ...

But, what I just do not get ... As sheeplefied as people are, how this country is not literally up in arms that OBL has not been dealt with ... First, to state the obvious, IF this was a democratic presidency, you would have "days since 9-11 and OBL still alive" time lines PERMANANTLY placed on the bottom of every News channel on the TV, and that is ALL you hear ...

As is, we FOREVER hear how this president is "resolute" in his battle against terrorism, and the whores NEVER mention that OBL is still drawing air ... And, the general populace ... COME THE FREAK ON !!!

10. Because it hasn't been reported
How many MSM stories have you heard about the fact Bush isn't going after OBL? How many outraged pundits talking about us backing down? How many 15 minute analyses on CNN about how Bsuh shut down the special task force looking for him?

I'll bet < 5% of Americans even KNOW it is no longer Chimpy's policy to catch Bin Laden.
