That schpiel isn't working with the American People..Obama TROUNCED Mitt Romney and the Republicans last night.It was UNDER Bush's Administration...under HIS policies.
Take some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES damn you!
Tell Obama to take some responsibility for this:
SNAP OUT OF IT!!!
George Bush will go down in history as the last President America had. He certainly was the last president to try and rescue the nation before it began it's spiral into the sewer.
Riiight......
Bush administration scandals, as of January 18, 2005, according to Salon's Peter Dzikes, came to a grand total of 34 for the "first four years of George Bush's presidency." [1]
On January 13, 2005, Katrina vanden Heuvel posted her list in The Nation of "the Bush Administration's Ten Most Outrageous Scandals thus far uncovered by government investigators." :
- Halliburton's Corruption
- Iraq's Decline
- Abu Ghraib Prison Torture
- CIA Pre-9/11 Intelligence Failures
- HHS Deceptive Ad Campaign
- HHS Scully Scandal
- Government-wide Accounting Problems
- Sex Education Misinformation
- CAPPS II Failures
- Real Costs of the Iraq War
Additionally, Asher writes, "Bush faces a wider range of potential scandals, which include: [3]
- Iraq: the rationale for, cost of, and occupation plans following America's conquest (DOS, DOD, CIA, FBI);
- Suppressed Medicare costs (HHS) and bioterrorism studies (DOD);
- Insufficient terrorism preparedness and prevention, domestic and international, before and after 9/11 (CIA, FBI, DOD, etc.);
- Mounting fiscal deficits and tax relief only for the wealthy (Treasury, OMB); and
- Skewed or suppressed scientific research and policies (NIH, HHS, FDA, EPA).
At the time of that posting, the daily weblog cited no less than twelve "substantive scandals involving the GOP in the last three years":
- Dick Cheney's secretive Energy Task Force was investigated by the GAO and the case is currently pending at the Supreme Court.
- The Homeland and Lilly Protection Act
- The Plame Game is under investigation by the Justice Department.
- Bush's Medicare scam and the circumstances that led the administration to lie to Congress about the cost of the legislation is under investigation by the HHS inspector general's office.
- The massive intelligence failure that led Bush to lie to the world about the Iraqi threat is under investigation by a congressionally-authorized independent commission (which Bush fought the creation of).
- Bribes offered on the House floor to Rep. Nick Smith (R-Mich.) in exchange for his vote on Bush's Medicare plan are under investigation by the House Ethics Committee and the Justice Department.
- Attorney General John Ashcroft was under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance laws in 2000, and the FEC concluded that Ashcroft accepted $110,000 in illegal contributions.
- An investigation into House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's criminal fundraising schemes in Texas -- which allegedly used corporate funds to help state GOP lawmakers -- is already before a Texas grand jury.
- Republican staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee were investigated for stealing thousands of confidential memos from Dem computers, a matter that has now been referred to the Justice Department for a possible criminal probe.
- Republican Connecticut Gov. John Rowland is under a criminal investigation (and an impeachment investigation) after he lied about prominent state contractors and several government aides paying for refurbishments to his lake-front cottage.
- Former Rep. Bill Janklow (R-S.D.) was under investigation for vehicular manslaughter, a crime for which he was later convicted.
- The Pentagon launched a formal investigation into well-armed evangelist and three-star General William G. Boykin, Bush's pick for deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, and his record of extreme religious rhetoric.
- The circumstances that led to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 are under investigation by a congressionally-authorized independent commission (which, again, Bush fought the creation of and then later resisted cooperating with); and subsequently the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
- And honorable mentions should go, of course, to investigations into Halliburton (Dick Cheney's former company) and Enron (George Bush's biggest corporate supporter).
That bastard was THEE worse!

I was responding to RW, not you.Obama is not my 'boy' (interesting term to use). I did not vote for him, nor for Rmoney.
'W' caused more American deaths than Obama has. One is bad enough, but most people would consider thousands more worse.
I have no idea who the fuck you are.
But, I do know that the USA was founded on the principle of three equal branches of government for checks and balances so that no single person can take the life of another American without due process. It's a constitutional thing called the Bill of Rights.

My post was included, so it looked as if it was referring to me.
If you think 'W' was a good president, you obviously don't know what the f one would look like.
Let me know when you'd like to discuss something I said.Admittedly, the Democrats were complicit. But, pre-emptive war? That was American? What would Washington say?
The failures of 'W' were astronomical. The total destruction of America's standing in the world after September 2001 must be laid at the feet of that administration. Every Iraqi and US soldier killed in Iraq are its responsibility. All the riches thrown away that could have been used constructively are that group's error.
Americans don't engage in preemptive wars
Americans don't violate human rights
Americans don't engage in Torture
Under Bush they did

No fuckhead. So far, Obama is absolutely the worst most inept POTUS
in history. That may change in the next four years because his legacy is on the line. But I doubt he has the brains to figure out how to do anything good and Presidential. He is a fucking egomaniac. Can't see beyond his own reflection in the mirror. I bet he pinches himself every morning because he can't believe he is the POTUS. How many times has he said "I'm the President of the United States"? Literally thousands of times.

Shortly thereafter, Rumsfeld was forced to resign in shame.
Wow Obama wins election and Stock market pukes big time...
But lots of confidence in gold and silver today.Wow Obama wins election and Stock market pukes big time...
Gotta stutter, I see.A president belches and the stock market changes. I predict history (historians) will find Obama an above average president when he finishes his two terms. They found Obama 15th best in 2010 after two years. So if historians find Obama an above average president who else is to judge except the people and they just voted him into office again. But some would protest the people voted for Harding, Bush, and a few other turkeys so that leaves historians as the best judges, correct? Ah, but what about posters, and I would rest my case.
I suspect you two far RW palookas will be first in line thinking Obama and sucking his toes when the Stock Market booms back up again shortly....yes?Wow Obama wins election and Stock market pukes big time...
this morning we were told it was a signal from heaven he won, the PEOPLE spoke...we can't BLAME anything on him, don't ya know

Carter, like Obama,inherited a totally fucked up economy. RWers can try to rewrite history, but some of us experienced STAGFLATION during our lifetime.
Q. What was STAGFLATION?
A. Look up President Ford's WIN Program.
Period. Full stop.
Like one of my fellow posters said recently, just the money lost in Iraq alone would have averted the near TOTAL financial collapse from occurring...at least not on his watch.
G.W. Bush makes President Jimmy Carter look like a natural champion.
Thank you America.
Nothing trumps 9/11/2001 and Iraq. Seperately they would have destroyed any Presidency...combined it's nothing short of a COLOSSAL FAILURE of historic proportions.
