Has George Bush done ANYTHING you agree with?

[Gringo]

Back at last year's SOTU speech, I was blown away when Dumbya announced $15 in aid to fight AIDS in Africa. I couldn't believe he had done something good. Sure enough, later we found out that his GOP thugs in the congress made sure not to fund the thing.

Every so often right-wingers ask me this question, and I honestly can't think of ANYTHING that hasn't been fake like the above.

Is the Saddam capture one?

Not that I want to prop up the chimp, I just wonder what to say when asked.

[Egnever]

1. Yes !

The do not call list was GREAT!

other than that I cant think of a damn thing.

[dflprincess]

2. No

n/t

[Monte Carlo]

3. He signed the anti-spam bill into law...

... and that's about all I can think of right now. Bush has been so reliably terrible at everything else.

[RebelOne]

11. That and the Do Not Call List.

[Hawkeye-X]

24. That anti-spam law

is more pro-spam that you would even imagine.

The antispam (spam-l) mailing list I belong to says it's the worst bill ever concieved and gives spammers free pass. This is a DMA-backed bill and it's no good. It even overrides California law that actually works.

4. He choked on a pretzel...

That was something I approved of...

[BurtWorm]

5. Taken lots of vacations.

[MIMStigator]

Leaving the country

I just don't like when he returns

[Stevendsmith]

6. If there was something, I'd acknowledge it

but the answer is no in terms of significant policies. Nothing.

Worst. President. Ever.

[Gringo]

7. He murdered his entire cabinet then committed suicide

Oh wait, that was just a beautiful dream I had last night.

[Monte Carlo]

17. Now now now... be careful.

The Secret Service has lots of expensive computers hooked up to the internet and ZERO sense of humor.

[Gringo]

41. I'm pretty sure I'm still free to dream about Dumbya's demise as I please

A person planning it or inciting it would be different.

Besides, i'm not capable of mind control. Dumbya did it because he finally realized what a phony he is and the fact that he's murdered 450+ men for nothing. He was wracked by guilt and rage at his puppet masters for manipulating him.

Again, only in my dreams...

[LuminousX]

8. Yes

But they were all things that I think anyone with half of a brain would have done. He has done more I disagree with.

[Speed8098]

9. No

:kick:

[Drifter]

10. Interest rates are low ...

I have refinanced my house, and no longer have any short term debts. Unfortunately for the first time in almost 10 years, I fear my job may disappear.

Kind of wish I had all that debt, and a secure job.

Cheers
Drifter

[Gringo]

42. That's somethin Greenspan did FOR him.

Just like he kept the rates high at the end of Clinton's term FOR Dumbya.

[giantrobot_2000]

12. Hmm

The highlight of his tenure was when he turned a pretzel into a lethal weapon.

He signed the anti-telemarketing bill. That was okay.

Other than that, there's not a single thing I approve of.

[OldSoldier]

49. Be careful of that anti-telemarketing bill

The printing magazines are full of articles saying how good that anti-telemarketing bill will be for the printing industry--the people who would have hired telemarketers will now have junk mail printed and sent.

[bif]

13. Yes. He spends his weekends drinking.

Nice work if you can get it.

[proud patriot]

14. Said or Done

He hasn't done anything that I like ..

Some of his speeches saying stuff pretending
he's a do gooder but he never follows through .
or
it's just called Healthy Forrests , but it's about
allowing the logging industry into our National Parks .
or
he's protecting America when in fact 2 percent of
cargo ships are checked :crazy: and Americans are less
Free today under the patriot act .

The says one thing do another prez...:eyes:

[spychoactive]

15. he bought a dog

that's my list so far...

glad i found this forum...you cannot imagine how glad i am
spike the new guy

[bpilgrim]

16. He hasn't launched any NUKES!

yet

peace

[Devlzown]

48. Unless, of course, you count

the depleted uranium... http://www.bushflash.com/pl_lo.html

[Parche]

18. bush

When he fell on his segway, that was good
When he screwed up the "Fool me once" saying, that was good
When he smirks alot that is good

[morgan2]

19. that show "thats my bush" he starred in

made me laugh.

[11 Bravo]

20. He helped unite free nations around the globe under a single ideal.

Of course, that ideal is fear, loathing, and disgust directed at * and by extension, the United States; but, hey, that's just being picky.

[dani]

21. Helped get rid of the Taliban.

I was glad of that. Too bad he's doing such a crappy job of following through with helping the people to rebuild the country.

[NewJeffCT]

26. well

it's all the Aghan's fault - they aren't sitting on those huge oil reserves like the Iraqis.

[Rose Siding]

22. I have one but it may not be true.

I've thought about this before and really couldn't think of one thing but on Sunday, it was reported that he didn't go to church. Someone said it was because of the snowstorm (it's just across the street!) but one article read that the reason he didn't go was because he'd be giving statements about The Capture and didn't want his religion or his church attendence to be in any of the reports.

Who knows if it's true but IF it is, it's the first sign I've ever seen of any brain activity.

[catmandu57]

23. No!!!!!!

I was already on a no call list.

[annak110]

25. The "Saddam capture" is just a weird as all the rest of the right-

wing nut dangerous malarky. The first thing that came up was in regard to a trial for Saddam Hussein. I sat and remembered the great glee with which the media presented the bloody gore which they labled as "Saddam Hussein's sons" and the joyous celebration over the blowing away of a house and all its inhabitants to "get" these young men about whom it was said, "They were hated by Iraquis". No one ever mentioned that they should have been tried.
What were they guilty of? What power did they have? If they were "hated by Iraquis" how could they have led an "insurgency". Why were they not brought to trial? I don't think Saddam Hussein will come to trial as there is too much that could be revealed to U.S. citizens about what the usa has done to Iraq and its people over the years, the rest of the world already knows. I think he should be brought to trial but so should a lot of people, including many in this country.

[webkev]

27. choked on snack food

I also got a huge laugh when he tried to wave at Stevie Wonder :)

[TexasPatriot]

28. lets see

he appointed the FCC people who have said using the F word on TV as an adjective is ok... that's cool

On that note, Getting rid of those Taliban f#*&cks was good (even if the follow through was poor)

Barney is a cool dog.

T-ball on the whitehouse lawn is good.

The 'Roses are Red' poetry to pickles - while evidence of his brain cell deficit - was still pretty endearing.

i like his constant talk about how islam is a good religion, that helps keep some of the scary faux crap in line.

[Yupster]

29. 10 % income tax bracket

was an excellent idea.

[adriennel]

30. No, absolutely nothing

Bush hasn't done anything I would consider positive.

btw, I don't count the "do not call" list because it was not Bush's idea, he just signed it.

[markus]

31. Didn't run for re-election in Texas

There's a start. Wish he'd carry that on to not running for President again.

[Kanary]

32. He goes back to Texas and keeps quiet n/t

[onehandle]

33. Elevated the tone of politics in Washington.

Did I mention my lobotomy?

[JVS]

34. Since he reversed his own Steel Tariff, technically he has to have

One must have either agreed with him or not while enacting it, and by repealing it he must have been doing right by those who didn't like it.

[DS1]

35. He fell of his momma's Segway once.

:shrug:

[liberalcapitalist]

36. The No Call Initiative

n/t

[bookman]

37. He helped..

..the Daily Show win an Emmy.

:)

[gpandas]

44. he pushed me further to the left

because his policies show just how far right wing zealots will go when they have the power.

[kclown]

47. Ditto

Woke me up good.

[devinsgram]

38. NO

Positively, absolutely nothing.

[9119495]

39. Eating that near deadly pretzle a few years ago was fine by me.

His vacations in Crawford our great too because they diminish his chances to screw up Washington more.

[BarbaRosa]

40. He awarded

Johnny Cash the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal.

[phaseolus]

43. Going to the Moon, Mars

...assuming he proposes that stuff later this week. And yes, I'm aware that many here at DU have valid concerns about paying for this when the debt's ballooning.

Okay, it's my soft spot. We're humans, we explore stuff. And I believe there are demonstrable benefits, returns on investment, to American companies... not to mention creating highly paid technical jobs.

[bobthedrummer]

45. He has done nothing good since getting installed.

The worst pResident, ever.

[VT70]

46. Yes

He refused to pardon Timothy McVeigh, and back in Texas he was a very strong death penalty supporter. This is the only issue I agree with him on.

[elfwitch]

50. He nearly choked to death on a snack food....

I can agree with that. As a matter of fact, I say MORE SNACKS for the chimp.

Seriously though, not a damn thing. He was bad for Texas. He is bad for the United States. He would be bad for any person, place or thing he came in to contact with. He is incompetent and ignorant. Basically he blows!!

[NoPasaran]

51. He made us appreciate the Second Amendment

Having a few firearms around the house for defense against an oppressive and tyrannical government doesn't seem like such a bad idea for some reason.
