Hell has Frozen Over

Hell Freezes Over: Sean Hannity, Michael Savage agree with Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, and you know what, so do I

Okay so here's the deal six US ports have had their security outsourced. But its not just any old outsourcing its outsourcing to the United American Emirates. This is not just any country. Its is the country where 9-11 hijackers hail from. Its where the USS Cole Bomber walked the streets. So what's wrong with the Bush Administration.
We are HUGE supporters but we are no mind numbed followers, no matter what the issue. And on this issue the President is wrong. I'll tell you why I think he's wrong here in a minute, But what maybe has upset me more was the threat of a Presidential Veto on this. He doesn't veto, campaign finance reform but he decides to do this. What hat is he thinking.
The President says he doesn't understand what the big deal is. He says he doesn't understand why it was okay for a London company but not one based in the UAE. Surely you are kidding. Would this president have allowed the Japanese or Germans to run port security in WWII. I think he has forgotten that maybe we are in a war. These countries have terrorist ties. Why not let the proverbial fox in the henhouse.
If the President doesn't get the problem still maybe he needs to look around himself and see that the likes of Hannity is agreeing with Schumer. And while on the subject I'm glad for Hannity standing up and being his own person and not just being a waterboy of the Republican. In fact Limbaugh really disappointed me on this today. He was arguing the fine points. We didn't sell the ports. We only turned over operations. Blah blah...talk to the hand dude. If you genuinely can't see how blatantly wrong this is if for no other reason that a PR reason and we should encourage the administration to stop this and stop it now.
The arguments the President is offering are not good ones. This is a no win situation and to threaten a veto just leaves me speechless..
