Has GW done anything positive for the average American?

[Amy6627]

I've been racking my brain, trying to think of just one thing he has done that was for the benefit of the many not just the few, and I can't come up with ANYTHING! My disdain for the little turd must be blinding me. Can someone help me out?

1. Made Him/Her feel Above Average in Comparison????

5. LOL. True that.

I'm sure many people felt that for the first time, they truly were smarter than the president.

2. Ate that pretzel...

... but then he couldn't follow through with it. Once again shirking his duty to his country.

6. So--what has Bush done for Our Country?

Start the list, please.

[uppityperson]

17. Are saying our country should not do anything for us?

4. Not in his "mission statement"

His actions and policies have shown his utter contempt for the "average American." From what I've read, it's been that way his whole life -- he's PROUD of being from the "ruling class" and has not desire to know anything about the "little people", much less empathize with them or help them.

7. * has woken up a lot of passive and apathetic citizens. They

used to take their civil rights and civil liberties as a given, as a birthright. A lot of us now understand how fragile our American democracy is, and we still have the ability to alter our future instead of surrending to a fascist dictatorship. In the Zen scheme of things, GW is a necessary lesson for defining what we AREN'T.

10. Zen scheme of things...

I totally agree!. My distate for the shrub has forced me to look into what is REALLY going in this country; I don't like what I see,now I need to find out what I can do about it.

16. P.S. Welcome to DU Bellamia.

I can't take all the credit for my take on things. My Reiki teacher has discussed turning problems around and finding a lesson in the spirit of Zen Buddhism.

8. The Telemarketing "No Call" List. . .

I don't know the genesis of the law that created the No Call List -- it could be one of those things Shrub just took credit for once it was adopted -- but I heard his Administration claimed credit for it. I'm more than happy to grant him big Kudos for this small, but important, change in the way telemarketers can do business. Provided, I must add, he then takes credit for lying us into a disastrous illegal invasion and mindless occupation.

20. Dang-you took mine

other than the telemarketing thing, uhhhh nothing.

9. Hummmmmmmmmmmm

I'm trying to think really hard... Can't think of any.:shrug:

[proud patriot]

11. You mean beside the $300.00 bribe advance on future income

that everyone had to pay back ...LOL

[wideopen]

14. Believe it or not...

When I asked people how they could justify voting for bush after what he did the first 4 years several said "he sent me a check for $300". Fucking idiots.

[Verve]

12. I was just saying we should thank G.W. the other day to my husband.

Due to his brilliant economic strategy (or lack of strategy) many poor souls are not being able to make ends meet and are foreclosing on their homes.

My husband and I are in the process of buying one of these numerous foreclosures at below market price. So, with sarcasm, I can say Shrub is helping me by destroying other people's livelihoods.

He's such a schmuck!

13. bush can't see past his own nose. His university was "Screw U"

in Upper State of Hate, F*ckagain. For bush anything that makes sense for the American people is bad, because Screw U is the religion. No matter that the bread on his table came from working Americans, screw'em.

When 1 million jobs left America, bush said that was good for America. Maybe that'll teach American's more discipline. Too bad, each job in manufacturing has a ten-fold effect on jobs in their communities. The greatest loser in history,the man who sat and read "My Pet Goat" as our country was being attacked has been retained by a bunch of lying false xstians who don't have the sense of a turd in a punch bowl.

When our soldiers die, its screw'em, I'm not going to their funerals, I deserve to have them die for me.

The only solace is that Every American knows bush is an evil lying murderer and he will be punished for what he did. All the better that his punishment be given by the God he claims to serve.

15. made us aware of electronic voting fraud

We KNOW the election was stolen, I was listening to my sirius radio,
the republicans said that we raised more money than them in '04, they KNOW the election was stolen, We KNOW that the electronic machines can be rigged as well as the TABULATORS, the state and local election officials know that the vote was messed up, in many states there were bitter run-offs, some races took months to settle,
I think that NO ONE wants this again, I think there will be reform because every one is fed up, and I think that all the single issue voters realize that they were cheated and will not be as likely to do it again, and I hope that the good old USA will never put anyone that's an AWOL ever again in the WH.

18. he has restored dignity and morals to Murka's house

He has brought Gawd back to Murka

He has made us all safer by killing gawdless ay-rabs and occupying their country

He has cut taxes so we will have more jobs

19. The only positive thing

that the Chimperor has done is knock me off my ass and on my feet into politics. Never cared much about it before, I didn't even bother voting in most elections. But, when my vote was stolen from Gore it was a wake up call of immense proportions. Thanks W, for mobilizing me for Democrats like nobody else could!

[MattG]

21. Oh I agree wholeheartedly

If there's one thing Bush has done, it's made your's truly much more political and aware of the world around me.
