name one thing that bush and bush alone did that is at fault for making your life worse... no one else's life, yours.
pretty fallacious to expect people to not care about the rights of others don't you think?
Unlike some I care about others lives, even those I do not know in a foreign country.
but on the note of my life. Well I have lost 1 young friend to Bush's Iraq war.
I paid $4/gal for gas. Still paying quite a bit for propane.
This thread reflects the lack of accountability which has characterized the entire Bush admin.
Bush was a drunk, and a failure in business for 20 years, even with his father's name and connections. He was able to get a partial ownership in the TX Rangers because one of the owners loved his father & would do anything for him. He had a short stint as governor of TX, a state with one of the weakest executive positions, where his daily agenda included a nap and a game of Nintendo.
If his last name isn't Bush, he doesn't get near the Presidency; this is a man who has been in over his head from day 1, and has never grown into the job. Bush was the "decider" on Iraq - his own words. Despite campaign promises, he let pressing issues like healthcare go almost completely unaddressed for 8 full years. His attempt to overhaul education w/ NCLB has failed, and left districts reeling with unfunded mandates. He hired cronies & loyalists over people with actual qualifications, which contributed to his failure with Katrina. He has been a woeful steward of the economy, and is drawing comparisons to Hoover.
It's pathetic that the judgment of a 2-term President comes down to the inane..."He's not so bad...what did he ever do to you?" To answer the question, though, I believe very firmly that when America loses its status as a superpower, we will be able to trace the beginning of the end back to the Bush years & the incompetence that marked them. That affects me & everyone I know.

Wow- was that ever weak.
No; partisan bickering was not what created Bush's failures with Iraq, Katrina, education, healthcare & the economy. This has been a bad President; on many issues, he has not even been there. He has provided no leadership.
As for the intense partisanship under his admin, it was his own team that sought a 51% gov't, and relished close legislative victories over broad consensus.
Fortunately, history is & will be on my side. You can keep squawking about he wasn't so bad, cuz what'd he do to you?
bingo, lorax.
Without Bush and Bush alone, we would NOT have gone into Iraq, and that alone has cost America over 4200 dead, and nearly 40K wounded.
I am nearly 59 years old and he is without a doubt the worst president in my lifetime and the only one that I can confidently say is not smarter than I am.![]()

I'm just a little younger, but he's definitely the worst in my lifetime.
Don't forget all of the dead & displaced Iraqis. When you consider the staggering death toll & human cost because of the arrogance of this man, the mere idea that he "isn't so bad" is beyond words.

I agree. We went to Iraq because the decider decided to. If he hadn't wanted to invade Iraq, we would not have done so. period. ALL that blood and wasted treasure is solely his responsibility.
get real, the Democrats voted to go in there also..what about the new Democrat hero Colin Powell, your going to say he was duped also..
Yeah, that's right. It was the "resolution to invade & occupy Iraq indefinitely."
I forgot that's what it was called.
You guys wouldn't know accountability if it bit you in the arse. If Iraq was a wild success, you wouldn't be rushing to give the Dems such "credit."
