LOONEY TUNES – AT 7:48 P.M. ET:  We can only hope that psychiatry makes BDS, Bush Derangement Syndrome, a recognized ailment in 2010.  And Obamacare should provide free treatment for those afflicted, starting with its own troops.  From The Hill:

Democratic strategists Wednesday asserted President Barack Obama "has been far more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda" than the previous administration.

We've noticed the dramatic results.  We noticed them at Fort Hood, we noticed them last Friday over Detroit...

In an e-mail this afternoon to supporters -- which incidentally excoriated Republicans for politicizing the attempted bombing of Flight 253 -- the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) stressed it was President George W. Bush, not his successor, who relegated the fight against the terrorist network to the back burner by turning "its focus from al Qaeda to Iraq."

Again, Bush.  Always Bush and, of course, Cheney.  It's a BDS epidemic.  Swine flu is nothing compared to this.

The outrage here, among others, is that the Dems never noticed that we fought al Qaeda in Iraq, and defeated it.  We've seen that al Qaeda travels from place to place.  It doesn't have just one address on Cave Boulevard in Afghanistan.

Bush can be criticized for many things, but there's been a dramatic increase in terror attempts since Obama took office, and it may not be a coincidence.  When you flash weakness, an enemy notices.

It's odd that the Dems accuse the GOP of politicizing terror and then go on to attack the Bush administration on the same subject.  It's unlikely that the Democratic political planners anticipated that terror would erupt once more as a political issue, but it has.  Defense is not exactly an Obama strong point.  Add that fact to the general unpopularity of some of the domestic issues he's pushing, and Democratic political concern is likely to grow.  A year ago the Democratic Party was in political heaven.  Now it's headed in the other direction, where global warming is a constant reality.
