QUESTION: Can you name ONE of his duties Bush** hasn't totally fucked up?
I can't, but I can imagine that there might be one of his Presidential duties that he hasn't totally fucked up. Like maybe something he has only fucked up slightly?

Any ideas?

I will say he is the most feckless, mendacious, truculent "President" I can think of, but I wonder, does he still have room to get worse?

2. I was gonna say
that he can wipe himself without getting it all over ...........

Naw. That was Claude Allen's job.

I guess no one's wiping him now.

Babs?

8. Hmmm...
Pardoning one of his own kind... I guess that might count.

Other than signing it. (Like he has signed EVERYTHING.)

10. Arguably, he is doing his job perfectly.
Rewarding his corporate/ruling elite supporters with tax cuts, corporate welfare & no-bid contracts.

Destroying the middle class

Draining the treasury

Beginning endless wars

Accelerating the destruction of the environment & destabilizing the middle east, hastening the "Rapture"

Did I miss anything?

47. Probably irrelevant, although making the US look bad may have economic
consequences that benefit the "cheap-labor conservatives"

11. Sure. The total destruction of America.
Now one could debate whether that was his duty, but clearly it was his agenda.

21. He actually IS PERFECT!
From the perspective of what's good for America, Americans and the world, he actually is perfect. A PERFECT SCREW-UP.

Of course, almost everything he does is intentional--which makes him a near perfect anti-American terrorist, criminal, destroyer. Destroyer--for he truly has all but destroyed our country for the forseeable future. He is the single most incredibly harmful human being to have ever held power in our country (which puts him well into the running for the most harmful man to ever live--though he's not yet close to the top of that list (he'd have to accomplish the genocide of millions--but I wouldn't put it beyond him, at least not if he gets the chance)).

..he has done the "Laying the wreath at the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier" routine without making a complete ass of himself.

It's not much but that's all I can come up with.

I can't recall another President who spent so much time on the road and out of the oval office.

33. Maybe one: none other than Paul Krugman said that--
--that guy he named to replace Greenspan at the Fed, whatshisname, was a good choice...probably the best we could have gotten from any GOP President...so, *maybe* he gets some credit for that...certainly nothing else...

35. He let John McCain kiss him in public
I thought it was very gracious of him. If he had refused or rejected the Senator it would have been rude. Does this count? Oh wait, was it the other way around? Did Chimpy kiss McCain? Well, I guess it doesn't matter.....such public displays of love and affection by our leaders are refreshing. :puke:

37. He also let McCain drop to his knees and suck his presidential dick.
And even helped him wipe the spooge off his chin afterwards!

What a Gentleman!

Despite being raised by someone who's IQ is 60 points lower than his.

He's so smart, he even runs from his master!

or bike riding, or generally hiding in time of crisis.
