We are now in post-Bush politics

ILLUSTRATED: Move beyond Bush, talk about a Democratic future

This first week of June, 2007 will go down as the week GW Bush ran out of political capital. Here’s why: 1) Lt Gen Lute said today that the surge isn’t working; 2) Turkey made an incursion into Iraq yesterday portending a regional war; 3) the administration downgraded its economic forecast; 4) immigration, his only hope at a domestic accomplishment died; and most telling 5) the GOP presidential candidates criticized the administration openly in their debate.
What this means is that in our discourse with people, don’t waste time talking about Bush. Paint a picture of a future under Democratic leadership: governing in the public interest, appointing judges who interpret the constitution as if it is 2007 not 1789, and strengthening America by working with the world community.
