Think about it. What is Bush's Presidency without any wars?

[Postman]

Remember the days and months before 9/11?

Bush is nothing without war. Even WITH war he proves his idiocy everyday.

This group of fascists couldn't govern a so-called "democracy" if their lives depended on it.

All they know or care about is killing.

1. Exactly

It's so true. Looks like it's finally working against him though. He wanted to be remembered as a great president like Reagan or FDR (ugh) but it won't happen now.

[madeline_con]

2. Golf and brush clearing....

Was he very good at either?

[FreedomAngel82]

5. Probably not

I read either earlier this past week or last week that Bush bought his "ranch" right before the 2000 election so he knew he was going to win and he probably doesn't know how to do any of that stuff. Maybe golf since he is the country club type.

[madeline_con]

9. "... he knew he was going to win .."

You mean , the family was broke? Had they gone through all that Nazi steel money already?

[shraby]

3. Don't forget taking and stealing.

[madeline_con]

11. He was probably really good at lying, too.

You don't go world class overnight.

[Ilsa]

4. Two failed wars. A failed economy. Environment in the ditch.

Failed international relations. And a major terrorist attack he allowed to happen. I'll always remember him as the Death President.

[madeline_con]

14. War plans in the ditch, if you get my metaphor....

A ditch in Crawford, at Camp Casey. :evilgrin:

[SeaRust]

6. VACATION!!!

[Fridays Child]

7. The total diaster it was becoming, just before 9-11.

[DesEtoiles]

8. See this 1999 quote-he planned a war in advance to boost his presidency

Two Years Before 9/11, Candidate Bush was Already Talking Privately About Attacking Iraq, According to His Former Ghost Writer
by Russ Baker

HOUSTON -- Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

"He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999," said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. "It was on his mind. He said to me: 'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.' And he said, 'My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.' He said, 'If I have a chance to invade·.if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency." Herskowitz said that Bush expressed frustration at a lifetime as an underachiever in the shadow of an accomplished father. In aggressive military action, he saw the opportunity to emerge from his father's shadow. The moment, Herskowitz said, came in the wake of the September 11 attacks. "Suddenly, he's at 91 percent in the polls, and he'd barely crawled out of the bunker."

16. If shrub had gone into therapy instead of running for president, he

could have saved us all a shitload of aggravation.

[madeline_con]

17. ".... be seen as a commander-in-chief."

The great leader and Commander in Chief doesn't seem to be panning out for him.

"Bush expressed frustration at a lifetime as an underachiever..."

He gets a lifetime as the most hated President EVER. That's an achievement.


"... 91 percent in the polls, and he'd barely crawled out of the bunker ..."

Proof he was behind 9/11. He needed an excuse to get his plan rolling.

10. Would have been

a one term wonder with a 30% approval rating by 2004.

[madeline_con]

19. Instead, he's a curiosity who's headed for 1% by December.

We need a bird-flashing emoticon guy.

12. New bills that attack the middle class, driving wages down

new bills and laws that decimate the middle class.

Bankruptcy
Energy
CAFTA
end of Overtime
350 billion taxcuts for the rich, resulting in --->
---cuts to Food Stamps
---cuts to Housing vouchers
---cuts to firefighters and cops

on and on

[wake.up.america]

18. Bush's attitude about life and his fellow man is very disturbing...

[Erika]

13. Bush needed the "wars" to redistribute the wealth

from the working class to his friends. I bet a GOP friend that within a year of Bush's selection that we would be in a major war as a way to pay back his defense/energy donors. He avoids me now.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. bush was never anything his whole miserable sorry life.

If it weren't for his family name, he would never have amounted to a hill of beans.

[Erika]

20. and he'll have the worst legacy

It will read" He redistributed the wealth of the working class to the wealthy, and used the children of the working class to fight a war to advance the profits of the wealthy". He will be known as a true traitor to the U.S.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. That is his family's legacy!

The BFEE destroyed America. Quite a legacy.

[oscar111]

22. another Hoover eom

[wli]

23. fascism at home and corruption n/t

[evilqueen]

24. same thing it is with wars... a miserable failure

Domestic policy sucks just as badly as foreign policy; consistent with his history in business, as well, only there's no one with enough money to bail him out of this federal deficit, even if they wanted to.
