Scott McClellan-Judas Iscariot?

Is Scott McClellan a Modern Day Judas Iscariot or Opportunist?
We have seen and heard it all about betrayal since the birth of a human the God created. Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan is the epitome of Washington’s Culture of Deception.

Ironically, he named his upcoming memoir book next week, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception which is based on his experience as a White House press secretary for three years and from Texas days with Bush. His book feeds the Bush-bashing press field days.

According to McClellan in his book, the press in the White House briefing room turned out to be “badly misguided” and “Bush displayed a lack of inquisitiveness’: the administration operated in a permanent campaign mode,” or that “the Iraq war ‘was not necessary.”

While he was in White House, he enjoyed the prestige of holding the position. He never spoke out to anyone about his disagreement nor quit the job. He is an opportunist who sold Bush out for money. Is he an example of modern day Judas Iscariot?

His tell-all memoir of the Bush years doesn’t explain any details of his criticism on Bush and his administration; it’s only based on his observation and opinion. He wasn’t even a press secretary at that time and he was a deputy secretary. His involvement on decision making process and participation in executive meetings never took place then. His accusation is no more than his personal opinion from disgruntled ex-employee. However, he tries to re-invent himself who is insightful and wise getting out of rehabilitation from the Bush’s deception (?).

As Washington reporters wrote him off as “a nice guy, who was in way over his head,” and “in their analysis of his intellect” while he was a press secretary. His bashing on Bush is not only surprise to many his former colleagues at White House but also to many readers. As much as he tries to preserve his own reputation, his lack of loyalty and lack of integrity can not escape disgrace he created for himself. I would give him a credit if he provided more detail proofs on his claims in the book. As one said, it is a business sense. He is playing anti-Bush sentiment to cash in.

There are a lot of flaws in his book. As he admitted to his former boss Ari Fleischer at White House, his publisher asked him to tweak the story. One thing that readers should know that George Soro who is one of the most dangerous person in the country, is behind McClellan's book. That tells you all about his motive and dishonesty.

I don't agree on everything with President Bush's policy and his decision on war. However, I don't believe he lied or cherry pick the intelligence information about Iraq.

I wonder how many people would be fair enough to look at the truth. I agree with Times Magazine's Review report about McClellan's book, 'it’s a crap.'

Daddy, how was I born?

A joke from a friend
A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?'
The father answers, 'Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via email with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:

'You got Male!'

LOOK UP

You see things in different perspective.
The other day I heard something interesting from Dr. David Jeremiah about looking things in perspective. I want to share it with you.

We tend to be discouraged and to lose enthusiasm when times are tough economically. Particularly, we see what’s going on now; how many homes are in foreclosures, gas and food prices are going up, people are losing jobs, and there are food shortages in some countries. We hear discouraging news day in and day out.

Once in a while, one person’s wisdom can bring about hope and happiness to many of us by looking things in different perspective. According to Dr. Jeremiah, we have choice to look AROUND, look DOWN, or look UP when we go through tough times. We can look around and see all the bad news surrounding our lives and let them influence us. Or, we can look down and see every dirt and mass around us and be depressed about it. Or, we can look up and see the light that gives us hope and bright future. You don’t have to be a Christian to see the wisdom in it.

It’s not easy to do when we think everything is against us. We tend to concentrate on negative things more than good things surrounding our lives and often be overwhelmed by them.

Life goes on and we have a choice to live the rest of our lives being happy and hoping for the best or, discouraged, depressed, and unhappy. Things are not going to look better until we start to see things in positive perspective. We attract what we think about.

I don’t know about you but I purposely look up and see things in positive perspective especially now. Economy will get better in time whether I’m happy or not and I’d rather be happy and hope for the future.

Dr. Jeremiah's wisdom inspired me to look things in different perspective. I hope he gave you the opportunity to do the same.
