So Bush is going to end his term with a failed war and a recession?

Wow!

I guess I knew that things had the potential to get pretty bad under this adm. But I never thought it would all really happen. He also may have the longest time in office with the lowest poll ratings ever.

I wonder how this would have all turned out if we hadn't spent all of our money in Iraq? Actually, what would have happened if we hadn't gone into serious debt to fund that hopless mess?

I was working in the mortgage industry and I saw the loans going thru. And at the time I thought that a whole lot of those people couldn't afford the price tag on the houses they were buying. But I never dreamed the problem was so huge - so widespread.

Man. I just never saw all of this coming like it is. This whole house of cards is just crumbling around us and all we can do is wait it out. Wait for it to run its course.

He's going to blame it on the Democrats.

job. I was hopeful and now I just hope that they all get voted out and we can get some decent people in.

a majority for 1 year. They also face a stubborn and stupid president that vetoes their bills.

They just caved to a "pocket veto" that wasn't even legal. If they had done NOTHING the bill would have passed. Instead, the gave the asshole what he wanted.

I suspect if they would have stood up and fought, they might have won over enough republicans to get some things passed.

A congress critter was on C-Span this morning talking about that very thing. Everytime I hear that guy he blames whatever it is on the dems. I know him when I see him but don't know his name.

are just getting destroyed - here and in Iraq.

We really need to look into better safeguards so that one single person cannot do this much damage all by himself.

Hopefully future leaders will try and fix the loopholes.

all American people stopping what they are doing and raising nine kinds of hell until a little king bastard like shrub is back home in Connecticut.

does whatever it wants - and damn the torpedoes.

I never thought I would see the day when the adm. was just above the law. Never thought it could happen.

If we get that concept down, we will realize that WE are the deciders.

But, most of us don't want to get our TV schedules interrupted, much less our children's educations, jobs, etc.

We choose to allow king boy to play. I would bet my bottom dollar that if even half the country left town in a concerted march toward Washington, we could get what we want.

All working class people get the flu at the same time and go to work or buy anything for at least a week.

the boy has reached his glorious destiny-now he can go back to tumbleweed shack in Crawford and drink himself silly.

And ride that stupid fucking bike.

And that, ultimately, has got to piss him off more than anything. :)

gone.

Afghanistan, the forgotten War.

They have done really well.

He's such an over-achiever!

and of course he believes the economy would be a success story also if people would just get out of his way and allow him to give bigger and better tax cuts to the wealthy.

Rose colored glasses.

The economic guru's 'stimulus' package is a band-aid for a much larger problem, LACK OF AN ABUNDANCE OF GOOD PAYING JOBS!!!

there aint no difference. Its always been the same team making the same plays.
How depressing when people pretend GW was anything but Poppy's only choice at the time.
Anyone surprised by how the system likes things to turn out, really should be cared for.

...I just realized. IF Hillary wins, will they start referring to the Clintons as #42 and #44?

:puke:

#44 has the opportunity to make epic history; the BEST President in history AFTER the VERY WORST President in history.

Gag me with a spoon.

and done less than NOTHING about them.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

God, they are just such creeps.

This is worth a huge "visualization" experiment! It would take magic, I'm sure, for Bush and Co. to get what they deserve.

the presidential term will turn into a much deserved prison term.

For bush I will make this exception.

Tha will be all.

Let's hope he heard Biden say if he attacked Iran without provocation he would help the House start impeachment proceedings. Trouble is the Gulf of Tonkin tactic. george would have no problem shooting his own ships to accomplish his mission.

America has crashed and burned too.

This was a huge train wreck just waiting to happen. We saw it coming, we pointed and screamed bloody murder, and we were asked why we hate America so much that we would say such horrid things about our president.

That huge knot in our collective stomachs seems to be the only thing blocking the egress in the circular swirling of water accompanying the sucking sound as we all get flushed.

Here lies George W Bush - an abysmal failure from the cradle to the grave - he lied in every position known to humanity and even now he lies still.

:sarcasm: but I'm sure the freepers will be saying this seriesly!111!!1!11!

He already had 1 recession in his presidency. The most troubling thing about this current down turn is the almost no growth in between. While Bush and his economic advisor's will argue his economic policies drove us out of the last down turn, one could reasonably argue his high debt, low dollar, low interest rate, high risk, low reward spending (buying bombs is a very bad capital investment) lead to a very sluggish recovery and thus the potential for the next recession to be much worse.

Some call it a legacy, some call it a holocaust.
