Just a Transient Thought…

George W. Bush and WMD

Google ‘George Bush assassination’ and compare it to ‘Obama assassination’ and notice the dramatic difference. It occurred to me that ever since Obama was considered a serious contender for the Democratic Party there was always in the background possibilities of assassination attempts. How serious can you take the media's hot selling “skinhead” attempt, and what attempts do we not hear about? After three pages of hits on Bush, about five hits make any serious reference to Bush attempts, three of which is hard to take too seriously and most refer to a movie. Check out Obama attempts and six pages and counting are all serious references.

Who could be surprised? Well what surprises me that over an eight year period that this is all that comes to light on the internet. This is a moment of unprecedented change. Change is scary and drives some people to do some scary things. Bush, for a man so despised, and the neo-cons that he is the icon for, virtually nothing is heard. Probably suppressed by the media but even so during that time there would be leaks, but certainly suppressed by some group.

Now consider this. What if there haven’t been any attempts worth mentioning. Seriously! What enemy of the US could do more damage to America, and bring down the Capitalist-based Western Civilization than Bush himself? He has been the walking, talking Weapon of Mass Destruction! They have used America’s most powerful weapon against themselves, the Economic Weapon, and have ‘bankrupted’ the world’s most powerful economies in one fell swoop. America may have brought down the Berlin Wall, but Bush has brought down the First World (and Second).

And why could they never impeach him?

Acts of his fundamentalist God? One could argue that it was an act of a fundamentalist Allah.
