Best & Brightest

Rush's Morning Update:

from JoeUser Forums

 The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful, has issued a new decree with regard to his foreign policy team, if elected. Lord Obama said: "We will have the best and brightest -- and by the way, they don't have to be Democrats."

Now, if you aren't old enough recall that phrase, "the best and brightest", it has a history in American politics -- it was used to describe the Ivy League advisors to JFK during the era liberals like to call "Camelot", and here is their legacy:

•It was the holdover Kennedy foreign policy team -- "the best and brightest" -- that micromanaged the Vietnam War from their desks in Washington, ignoring the advice of the commanders in the field... with disastrous results.

•The "best and brightest" re-emerged during the Carter years; older, but none the wiser. They appeased the Soviets, decimated our intelligence agencies -- as well as the military and its readiness -- and gave away the Panama Canal. They turned Iran from an ally to the enemy that still troubles us today.

•These old fogies reappeared in the Clinton years, Sleepy Warren Christopher among them. Citing the "Peace Dividend" following the collapse of the Evil Empire, they weakened the military Ronald Reagan rebuilt. They ignored the threat of terrorism, electing to criminalize it rather than fight it. Hello, 9/11.

They have been an utter catastrophe for American security, and yet Lord Obama wants to re-inflict them upon us. Their best has never been good enough, and they're far from bright. So this time, folks, let's just pass.

As Mr. Limbaugh points out our hero Senator Obama is digging up past phrases that worked in BS’ing us 40 years ago in hopes that we will be fooled again. Does this guy have any ideas of his own that have a prayer of working?

It will work.  Bush will not be president in 5 months.

Very true.  But neither Obama nor McCain are guarnteed to be president at the end of January next year.  I have a bad feeling that this election will be much like 2000 where the results in multiple states are contested and we don't have a clear winner for quite some time.  It is possible that Robert C. Byrd (D. Sen. WV) may function as president temporarily since he is the president pro-tem (or whatever that term is).

That would be the crowning irony! Instead of demonstrating to the world that we have overcome our racism, we would be putting a racist in the whitehouse! :LOL:
