A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet
him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air =
balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet =
above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and =
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much
help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you have no idea where you are or where you're
going.

You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME
to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in
before we met, but somehow, now it's MY fault

So, you've posted this before. Either you or one of your alter egos. Maybe this, too, belongs in the jokes and riddles section since it is obviously not meant to stimulate intelligent political conversation.

As I recall, that joke was originally about an engineer and a consultant, and it sort of made sense in that context, but your rewrite of it just doesn't work. We are NOT in exactly the same situation we were in before Bush. Before he took office the federal budget was balanced. Now the government's throwing away billions on an unnecessary war, gutting the Bill of Rights, and turning our country into a police state. The neocons talk about how they're fighting for "freedom", but they don't know what the word means. They arrest people just for wearing anti-Bush t-shirts (what ever happened to the First Amendment?) and call anyone who questions Bush's decisions "un-American".
In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
