For the last few months a knot has been tightening in my stomach. The idea that Bush/Cheney will leave the White House quietly is well… absurd. I am fully expecting them to go out with a bang. How big of a bang is anyone’s guess… One big enough to tie the next President’s hands while tying the U.S. to the Bush agenda? Iran springs to mind, but I’d be foolish to limit myself. After all, Iraq wasn’t even on the radar (at least not the public’s) until Bush placed it there.
I’ve braced myself for the return of the color-coded terror warnings, but when McCain says he’ll overtake Obama in the last 48 hours I get a really bad feeling.
“I’m the underdog. I’m behind,” the presumptive GOP nominee told reporters in Ohio.
“I’ve got to catch up and get ahead. And I expect to do that about 48 hours before the general election,” he said with a laugh.
Really, John? Why would you think that?
