Bush’s Failures are “Mission Accomplished”
When the door hits President Bush in the tush on the way out the door next week, he will have accomplished a nice long list of failures. It’s such a long list, it would be very hard to pick out the worst failures, lies, schemes and illegal manuevers, so I won’t. It’s no secret that I despise many if not most Washington D.C. Republicans due to their greed, love of war, hate for the environment, and complete dishonesty (and many are Neocons) but I reserve a special haven of disgust for our errant soon-to-be ex-president.
GW has lied, cheated, stolen, and terrorized not only people in Iraq but people right here in America. He has used false threats of terrorism to pass many egregious laws, such as the Military Commissions Act, which actually gave him a sort of legal power to pardon himself or war crimes. He must hate America, the way he has stirred up foreign nationalist hate towards the U.S., and increased terrorism around the world. And he lies to us, even in his “farewell” speech, where he claimed he has kept us safe. Nonsense! President Bush hasn’t kept us safe from terrorism any more than he has prevented super volcanos from erupting or giant asteroids from hitting the earth. Sometimes a man just gets lucky, and there is no one luckier than Bush. Georgie hasn’t saved us from a darn thing. In fact, quite the opposite — 9/11 happened on his watch!
So it was not surprising that besides the list of 935 lies that led us into the Iraq war, there also exists several other lists. I like to try to educate people about what the Republicans and Bush’s administration in particular have done to us as a country. Just look at the economy! Bush and his GOP party have made government bigger and more wasteful than at any time in history, and what do we have to show for it? A 10+% or more unemployment rate and businesses going bankrupt, right and left. Thousands of foreclosed homes and inflation, soon to be followed by deflation. Bush has nearly destroyed our economy and left us sinking in the deepest debt in history.
As a parting good-riddance tribute to Bush the Horrible, I’d like to just list one single solitary broken failure he has committed while president, out of the many hundred. Maybe I’ll cover the other ones later on, because it’s very very important that we never get another president like George Bush again, and part of making sure that never happens is telling people what he’s done. First of all, here are the 935 lies that he told us and Congress to get us into a war we didn’t need to be a part of: The War Card.
It’s very neatly categorized and straightforward. Second, here is the Broken Government site, also neatly and factually categorizing Bush’s many failures as president. And here is but one example: Remember Hurricane Katrina? Now there was a bad weather event. Bush was having birthday cake in Arizona with John McCain while people were drowning in New Orleans.
