Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) offers a few more lessons learned: " Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the peoples money. Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a White House Director of Lessons Learned? Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now.
Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, youre going to war without enough troops.
Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, its time to demand a little accountability.
Lesson 3: When youve turned the corner in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.
Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans.
I would also ask the President why were paying for two Ethics Advisors and a Director of Fact Checking.
"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President. Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony."
I have to admit, that made me chuckle :-)
This discussion about salaries brings up another interesting piece of despicable decision making by our worst President ever. Check out this recent event, Bush gives raise to top and not bottom. Cant say im really surprised, at least he is consistant in his contempt for those not in his "circle"- BAT
