Just because I am smart enough to see that the the scum you elected and would gladly vote for again was a complete failure doesn't mean I blindly worship the new scum. Not everyone is a complete partisan Jimmy. Some of us can actually think for ourselves instead of blindly swallowing whatever the party tells us. Tell me, did Bush do a good job? Yet you would gladly re-elect him. Kindly stop projecting your incredible spineless sheeplike qualities onto the rest of us. Jimmy, unlike you, I am able to see the world beyond black and white.

I know what I just said sounds insane, but just realize that your man in now "The Man," and I am the dissenter. Will you be burning effigies of Obama at the WTO meeting in 2015, after seeing the largest expansion of Global Capitalism in the history of the world?

Iraq and 9-11 had nothing whatsoever to do with each other. No conspiracy, just fact. Of course you and facts have only the most casual relationship so.... Tell you what, you just keep on spewing forth meaningless garbage about how W was one of the greatest presidents ever and I'll stay here in reality.

Its all one big conspiracy...period.

The war was always primarily about funnelling huge amounts of money into his buddies’ pockets….period.

The Bush presidency was a huge success for the people it was supposed to benefit. He handed out untold billions to "the haves and the have mores" or as he called them, his base. The war was always primarily about funnelling huge amounts of money into his buddies' pockets....period. The bailout was the same. The medicare plan, no child left behind, oil leases, tax cuts.... and on and on, all about transferring huge piles of dough out of the treasury into republicans pockets....period. Bush leaves office as a resounding success. Mission accomplished, good job George. I think you (and most everybody) missed the big point.

A president is defined by how he handles a crisis and with the exception of the immediate aftermath of 9/11 he was an utter failure in practically everything he touched. He not only failied to live up to the challenges of the job, 9/11 presented him with an unprecedented popularity and a country--a world--united to support him. Instead of being a bold visionary, he became an autocratic partisan. He could have done so many great things with the political capital and almost universal support from countries around the world, but showed himself to be a selfish, intellectually incurious son of a rich guy. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, George. George W Bush will most be remembered for opportunities lost.
