The Bush record is the worse in the country’s history. This arrogant, stupid son of a bitch did a great job at causing pain and despair for millions of Americans — while privileging the rich — and deceiving the religious social conservatives into being against their own self-interests. Call it politics — I call him an evil sociopath.
Closing The Book On The Bush Legacy
While Bush was in office, the median household income declined, poverty increased, childhood poverty increased even more, and the number of Americans without health insurance spiked.
Dear Bush — I know you don’t care about anybody — your policies show that. You only care about keeping your rich buddies rich. Screw everybody else. Even your own wife has been speaking out about how horrible your presidency was. I suspect Laura knows things about you that would even shock me. Bush, do you cry yourself to sleep at night? Do you take your anti-psychotics? Do you long for your Daddy to love you? Bush, you are one screwed up corporation pretending to be a human being.
How this country could elect a George W. Bush is testimony to just how doomed America is. Bush got the U.S. into two wars. Bush watched as the U.S. was attacked and he went and hid. Cheney is the worse Vice President ever — corruption leaks from his every pore. There were so many lies and deception in the Bush administration. Yet, watch the crazy people at these Republican tea parties and they think Bush did a great job.
America is doomed.
The fact that he got re-elected was the crime of the century…
We were doomed…let’s see if the new guy lives up to the hype.
As someone in the article suggested…W did a GREAT job. The idea ,my friend, among the Greedy wall street goons of which W was essentially a messiah was not to improve the lives of Americans but to improve the lives of the ‘Right Americans’–the 1% of the populace who were struggling to buy their 7th or 8th mansions. Hey its not so easy to live like kings with only a few billion dollars you know. I majored in Applied Mathematics and Statisitics in College. During my senior year, I worked as an intern for a financial firm. While there I remember some financial advisors discussing the reality of what it takes to succeed in the world of finance: Should you have a million dollars and you encounter a person with 500 dollars to their name, You should focus on ways to have a million and 500 dollars while leaving the other person with zero. After that, I chose to enter the IT field.

Our collective geese are cooked. But don’t drop it all on Bush. He could have change it, yes, and he didn’t. That is his “crime”. He had more power than any president since that asshole Roosevelt, and he squandered all of his opportunities to truely eliminate large portions of worthless “gubsamunts”. He could have stopped the downward spiral of shitty places like Detroilet, Baltsamows, and Filthadelphia. He could have shot what is left of welfare with the proverbial “silver bullet”. He could have curtailed lending by the banks to people who obviously couldn’t repay the loans. But he chose to do nothing. The Wall Street spectacle under Bush couldn’t even equal the insanity that occured under Bubba BoB Clintstone and Algoon. Bush is only guilty of complacency, stupidity, and war mongering, like nearly all of his predecessors, save for Harry Truman, that war mongering DumbaKrap. I spent the day at the beach today. Fuck earning money and paying taxes. Yesterday, I told my workers to go home because I was planting my fall garden and going shrimping. They made no money and will pay no taxes for their forced holiday. I have weeks of food on hand. Ate well tonight. How about the sheeple who went to the grocery store? How well did Bush or Obama eat? Both will need to use their “disease insurance” before long. Just be patient. When you eat garbage, you will need your disease management insurance. Just “aksk” Patric Swayze. Oh! I forgot, we can’t.
Hate to blow that wind out of your sails but not everyone who participated at these tea parties is pro-Bush. Perhaps some (and I mean by the key word-SOME) thought Bush was a good president, but the majority of those who participated during the 9/12 “tea party” in DC were not that please with Bush’s performance.
Problem is since the 2000 election, the two dominating, controlling parties, Democrats and the GOP, were out for blood. Both sides have behaved pretty poorly since November 2000. Face it, since 2001, even prior to 9/11, the Democrats were determined to throw any wrench in any GOP victory regardless if even if the outcome would have been a good thing for the US.
Don’t get me wrong: I am not giving a high five to Bush or Cheney. That was a poorly runned administration no doubt. However there were bills and proposals introduced by several GOP Senators and Congressmen between 2003-2007 which could have prevented some of the economic fall-out we are experiencing now. Any bill introduced by a Republican was outright squashed by the Dems out of pure party politics and hate left over from the 2000 upset. People also tend to forget that Congress votes to go to war and that the Iraq War was voted in favor by **both** sides (I will give some credit to Obama in not supporting this war). To lay entire blame on the GOP is just incorrect. The Democrats also share much of the responsibility, especially with this very poor economy. It just baffles me how people can go off on Bush and Cheney but leave out placing blame and responsibility with Frank, Pelosi, and Reid who were quite responsible in squashing bills from putting a hault with sub-prime loan lending and failing to regulate Wall Street’s actions.
The big problem now is that the Dems have full control of Congress and there has been absolutely no accountability with spending. If anything I think things have gone from pretty bad to pretty brutal in the past nine months. And like Bush, Obama is just a figure head. I do not believe Obama is really running the show–he has far too little experience to lead.
