Seems like it's finally dawning on the Worst Person Who Ever Lived that under his non-stewardship, the country's in trouble.
Since the Administration's recent attempts to rescue Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae initially went over in the markets like a lead balloon, George W. Bush held his first press conference in months today — to try to calm people's fears about the economy.
In the course of which, he at long last admitted the obvious: "It's been a difficult time for American families."
Gee, ya think?
We don't know about you humans, but there's nothing that we cats find more enraging than a fool like Bush suddenly realizing there might be a problem and pretending he's in charge — unless, of course, it's his claims later in the press conference that the economy is still in good shape.
Contrast that with Fed chief Ben Bernanke's statement to Congress — made nearly simultaneously — that things are gloomy and are bound to stay that way for awhile.
There is no hairball big enough that we could hack up to express our disgust and dismay. Can we possibly last until January 20 — when (we devoutly hope) we get delivered from these people?
