Caused the infant mortality rate to go up for the first time in 40 years

Most corrupt adminstration ever.

Most hated President ever--the low poll numbers you see are heavily rigged in his favor.

 

I don't even know where to start. Most of these are blatantly false (like the last two for example) or have nothing to do with the man in the White House (like third to last one).

If you want to pick a few to discuss, I'd be more than willing, but I don't have the time to go through and refute all of them.

 

Some of the others are opinion, some are probably because of inflation, but most of them are shocking and true. A president with any 10 of these should be out of office. However, most of this isn't Bush, because hes a retard puppet, its the real people in charge ****ing up.

 

"Some of the others are opinion, some are probably because of inflation, but most of them are shocking and true. A president with any 10 of these should be out of office. However, most of this isn't Bush, because hes a retard puppet, its the real people in charge ****ing up."
--I totally agree.

 

Seems that every claim as to "Job loss" and "job Growth" are false. He didnt desert the national guard. I would say that the majority of the claims seem to be false. MARK

--I totally understand. I also agree that some of them are just opinion. However, some of them are true. Lets start with:
1. More debt than all previous President's combined (WHOA!!!)
2. Worst response ever by a federal disaster agency
3. Largest increase in poverty since the depression.
4. Bush appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history.
5. First president to run and hide when the U.S. came under attack (and then lied saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1).
6. Set all-time record for number of administration appointees who violated U.S. law by not selling huge investments in corporations that bid for government contracts.

Bonuses:
1. First cokehead in the White House
2. First National Guard deserter

 

As 9Sublime put it, if a few of these are true (which a few definitely are) he should go to prision!

 

"Seems that every claim as to "Job loss" and "job Growth" are false. He didnt desert the national guard. I would say that the majority of the claims seem to be false. MARK"
--Yes, Bush has seem some job growth in recent times. But, over 5 million people have fallen below the poverty line during his administration. These are not bums, but people with jobs. Sometimes two or three jobs. Citing employment and job growth rates is 'polishing a turd.' People are not falling for it anymore.

 

"He didnt desert the national guard."
Bush was bumped up over thousands and thousands trying to enlist in the Guard at the time because his daddy had connections. He was then trained to fly a plane that was scheduled to be obsolete by the time Bush could possibly see any combat. He was then assigned to a Guard squadron that was comprised of rich kids, Senator's sons, etc. that it was well-established would never see combat. I can't remember the name of the squadron off hand, but USMCAlmighty might know or have heard of it. Then, Bush doesn't even show up for duty. He's a coward and when he landed on that aircraft carrier and declared an end to the war, I wanted to puke!

 

The debt is partially cumulative. Bush inherited the debt from Clinton and yes, he built on it - but saying that the debt is higher with Bush has more to do with inflation and an increase in government spending than out-of-control spending.

No, just the most heavily publicized. Katrina was bad. The Tri-State Tornado of 1925 is a great example of a horrible disaster that was responded to extremely poorly.

Don't get me wrong. Katrina was a horrific cataclysm and the response to it was far from satisfactory; however, calling it the "worse disaster response" in history is a cheap way of turning a disaster into a political vehicle.

I'm not sure where this figure comes from, but I'd be intrigued to find out.

A system that believes in reform shouldn't care about this at all.

What is this BS?

Once again, I can't comment because I don't know any of what surrounds this statement.

Cough...Ulysses Grant...cough...

Bonuses:

Nah...he didn't inhale either.

Much in the way John Kerry was a traitor, right? 2004 was a bad, bad year.

 

Simply not true. MARK

"The debt is partially cumulative. Bush inherited the debt from Clinton and yes, he built on it - but saying that the debt is higher with Bush has more to do with inflation and an increase in government spending than out-of-control spending."
--Whatever! Clinton had us in the black.

"Don't get me wrong. Katrina was a horrific cataclysm and the response to it was far from satisfactory; however, calling it the "worse disaster response" in history is a cheap way of turning a disaster into a political vehicle."
--Considering the capabilities (and SPENDING) FEMA, it WAS the worst disaster response in history. It's called holding the govt. accountable, not turning it into a political vehicle (you wish).

"I'm not sure where this figure comes from, but I'd be intrigued to find out."
--More Americans (both unemployed and EMPLOYED) have fallen below the poverty line under Bush's watch (5 million people). There has never been such an increase in poverty since the Depression. This comes from the Dept. of Labor, bureau of stastics. Another interesting statistic for you: The Land of the Free has a higher percentage of its population behind bars than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

"A system that believes in reform shouldn't care about this at all."
--B.S.!!! That's a typical weak response with no merrit. Bush and his cronnies are crooks--it's baltantly obvious.

"What is this BS?"
--You don't remember that???! Also, how he and Cheney wnet into hiding like p***ies?

"Once again, I can't comment because I don't know any of what surrounds this statement."
--There's a laundry list of Bush appointees who were/are invested in Halliburton, Brown and Root, etc.--the corps that get all the competition-free contracts. Plus, what about Cheney's stake in Halliburton? Yes, Cheney still has stake in Halliburton. Or, what about Rumsfeld's stake in the pharma sector? Now we're plagued with those horrible pharma commercials that Bush allowed to be put on air. You're totally in denial!

"Cough...Ulysses Grant...cough..."
--Ok, fair enough...well second time in history though! The obvious point is not that it's the first time in history, it's that they have to stay in power to avoid prosecution.

"Much in the way John Kerry was a traitor, right? 2004 was a bad, bad year."
--Yeah, I remember those Swift Boat Idiots who claimed Kerry never saw action and that he was a traitor because he spoke out against the Vietnam War (hello...free speech...look how Vietnam turned out). Then when Kerry had his physical, they found SHRAPNEL IN HIS LEG! Kerry was more of a patriot than any of those idiots could ever hope to be. He fought in 'Nam and then took on the Senate because they were mistaken. Anyone who labels someone like Kerry a traitor has completely missed the whole point of what this country is all about and should be deported to Crawford, TX.

 

Nonsense. Yale graduates, qualified to become pilots go to the front of a very short line for pilot spots. MARK

 

"Nonsense. Yale graduates, qualified to become pilots go to the front of a very short line for pilot spots. MARK"
--Yes, I'm sure that Yale graduates who went o to Yale on the 'My Daddy is the Director of the CIA' scholarship do go to the front of a very short line!
What about the rest of that point (the plane he was trained on, the squadron he was assigned to)???? If Bush wanted to serve his country during 'Nam, he would've signed up for the Navy or Air Force, not the Guard!!! Come on man!

i think it was Ben Franklin who said something like, "When Fascism comes to America it will be drapped in the flag and carrying the cross"

There is a new type of Fascism in the world
