Bush on Limbaugh?!

We are in deep trouble. That the President of the United States would even consider appearing on the radio with the venomous, hate-filled, downright sociopathic Rush Limbaugh is an affront to all Americans. Whether one enjoys Rush or even agrees with him, the notion that the President should contribute to his daily spewing of bile ought to scare each an every thinking person in the nation.

How can the President appear with a man who has unabashedly accused Michael J. Fox of enhancing his disease for the sake of political gain. How can the President support a man who uses innuendo and supposition to sway the minds of his generally ill-informed audience. Can our President do no better?

President Bush has limited his appearances more than any President in living history. Why then, when he feels he has something of import to share with the American people does he do so through a media outlet so limited in appeal and audience that he will only be heard by the smallest-minded among us? Why not have a press conference? Why not appear with a real journalist? Heck, even Fox News might as a question or two.

My faith in the ability of this country to survive the current political landscape is diminished more by each action of this President. My faith in the American people, once great, is slowly slipping toward oblivion. Please let me be wrong.
