Cheer Up America. A Lesson From Your Failed President

As we end this Friday, there is no bailout plan, but I bet a plan will be coming in the coming days. As I said before, a debate is good and it doesn't matter which side you are on, having a debate forces both side to negotiate, listen to their constituencies, and hopefully come up with a better plan.

Like all politicians, what force them to act is the revoke of their constituencies and fear of losing in the next election. Whatever the reasons are, the American people spoke up, loudly. That is a great thing, especially given many people were quiet during the lead up to the Iraqi War and the Bush Administration pretty much have gotten whatever they wanted from the American people.

Maybe, just maybe. Bush did teach us something, remember Bush said this back on September 17, 2002.

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again.

Yeah, right. Fool me once and you can't fool me again. American people finally learned that we were fooled before so we won't the politician fool us again. Cheer up America. The country has learned a great lesson and will be a better country because of it.
