The Bush-"Legacy"

[fj1200]

Wuzzup? Sure are a lot of nutcases in this forum......

Bush will almost certainly be written up as the worst president in US history and may even get the credit for the demise of the US empire.

Which is probably unfair as Cheyney is the real culprit.

Don't they say that Bush has been a heartbeat away from being president?

Bush came to power in a very unsavoury circumstances and it looks like he will leave the same way.

dont be so fast to cast some blame on those who put him in office, IE the public...more so who voted to ReElect him

It's scary to think just how easily the electorate can be misled, isn't it? Way too many base their votes on political ads and/or political party loyalty.

 

[Dawkinsrocks]

But that is the point.

The people did not put Bush in office.

His bum-chums at the supreme court did.

The election was very close, but it was only close because a significant number of people voted for Bush. The Supreme Court can not select the president, only settle a very close election. No, the people of the United States put Bush in office, twice. All too many based their votes on party loyalty and political advertising, but, then, that happens in every election.

Something, like that.......​

"In four years, George W. Bush converted a huge surplus into an even huger deficit, pushed the United States into a quagmire in Iraq based on a false rationale, fractured alliances, exacerbated the problem of terrorism and presided over a sluggish economic recovery that produced a net loss of jobs for the first time since the Hoover administration. Yet Bush successfully diverted attention from his failures through a marvelous technique of manipulation: He repeatedly instilled fear and then insisted that only he could keep us safe. He fanned the flames of intolerance and moral panic and then claimed that only he could defend the nation's values."​

"President George W. Bush has characterized the recent US housing crisis as a product of greed and Wall Street excess.

But that doesn't seem to have been Bush's opinion when he pardoned Isaac Toussie, 30, of Brooklyn, the son of a New York real estate developer, who defrauded the Housing and Urban Development Department government for millions of dollars and pled guilty to inflating the incomes of at least 100 families to make them eligible for federal loans in the lead-up to the worst housing crisis the United States has ever had.

Toussie was among 19 pardoned by President George W. Bush in his semi-annual pre-Christmas clemencies."​

You're doin' "a heckuva job", Sheriff Georgie!!!!

OK, here is a list of his 137 pardons. Can you show us how they are his "cronies" who could be tried for war crimes?

I completely agree.

"During the American struggle for independence, German mercenaries employed by the British crown terrorized rebellious soldiers and civilians with equal enthusiasm. This formative experience imprinted an abhorrence of mercenaries on our national character: We never hired our guns.

Until now.

As a result of its mania for outsourcing essential government functions, the administration of George W. Bush found itself embroiled in Iraq without sufficient troops on the ground and with a secretary of defense who resisted deploying additional soldiers, preferring to channel funds to private contractors.

The result was the unleashing of renegades on the people of Iraq. The sadistic, too-often-murderous conduct of thousands of private security contractors -- our contemporary euphemism for mercenaries -- not only shattered critical relationships between our troops and the local population but also shamed our country."

[Dawkinsrocks]

And why civil rights are important for keeping governments in check.

Shame Bush has been allowed to repeal those that got in his way.

The maggot.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

The BUSHCO Motto

"It doesn't have to make sense! We're BUSHCO!!!!"​

Yeah.....it's the "conservative"-gift that keeps-on-giving.

​

"In a rule that becomes effective just three days before Obama takes office, the administration has opened up nearly 2 million acres of mountainous lands in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for the mining of oil shale — an energy-intensive process that also drains precious water resources. "The administration has admitted that it has no idea how much of Colorado's water supply would be required to develop oil shale, no idea where the power would come from and no idea whether the technology is even viable," says Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado.

"Midnight regulations under Bush are being executed early and with great intent," says Bass of OMB Watch. "And that intent is to lock the next administration into these regulations, making it very difficult for Obama to undo what Bush just did."

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Yes, Bush achieved quite a lot when he inherited one of the strongest economies in the world didn't he.

Here is the Bush way off making a small fortune.

Start with a large fortune

....And, hiring competent-people (always one o' his stellar management-skills).

​

"Shortly before the Iraq war began, White House economic adviser Larry Lindsey earned a rebuke from within the Administration when he said the war could cost as much as $200 billion. "It's not knowable what a war or conflict like that would cost," Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld said. "You don't know if it's going to last two days or two weeks or two months. It certainly isn't going to last two years."​
