Will we ever recover from Bush? I just don't understand how one

person could have done so much damage in so little time. He has almost brought this country down.

Has there ever in the history of this country been anyone who spent so much so freely?

I just don't understand how so many Republicans - supposedly against big government and big government spending - could have supported this insane idiot.

It simply boggles my mind. How many years will it take us to recover from all of this? And Kraut whatever his name is - the Republican pundit - thinks Bush will end up with a good legacy - after a long time. I just don't get it.

"We Didn't Think. Therefore, We Aren't."

Never forget that VOTERS made it close enough to steal.

after he's gone.

Also...the US government's torture policy will come back on us...Bush won't pay for his crimes...but "the people" will..we're the ones with a bullseye on our backs because our government tortures people.

His name has Nixon, Hoover like toxic effects.

I know it helps others...but all it means to me is he still got way with it

I don't think he has any comprehension of just how horrible his presidency has been. I t is absolutely weird how out of touch with reality he seems to be.

the whole story, although he is by far the worst of the lot.

One could go back to 1969 and Nixon, because since then, except for twelve years of Carter and Clinton, it's been all Republicans and deregulation, Reaganomics and "trickle down" economics.

Whenever you let the capitalists run wild, this is what you get...

Remember that for 6 of Clinton's 8 years, the Repubs were running Congress and sending him all sorts of noxious bills to sign.

Here Bill, sign this No Americans Find Trabajo Act --- OkeeDokee, I feel your pain.....

Here Bill, sign this Welfare Reform package -- OkeeDokee, this is what Americans want....

Here Bill, we've decided to repeal Glass-Steagall -- OkeeDokee, whatever you say....

It was the Bush Crime Family, and they've been working on it for literally generations. They were behind the attempted coup against FDR. They were instrumental in creating the CIA, which was in turn instrumental in creating the South American drug trade. They have run the government almost without interruption since 1980. Reagan was a puppet, and Clinton was an accident who, had Perot not run in 92, would have never been elected.

We are living in historic times - times equivalent to the end of the Roman republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire.

As Maddow pointed out last night, he's had four major catastrophes on his watch

1) 9/11
2) Iraq war
3) Katrina
4) financial mess

Not to mention the inumerable downright lousy decisions he's made.

Americans are too selfish to accept any economic model except free-market capitalism. Americans are too apathetic and detached from government to expect government to be a realistic answer to anything.
The U.S. has been turned into a third-world country, except without the social fabric most third-world countries still have. We're a nation of strangers, people living within 6-foot bubbles and nothing outside that bubble matters.
The type of changes required to recover from the Bush administration would require enormous sacrifices that Americans are too selfish to ever make.

on his/her car (last night I saw one with a "W" sticker AND a McSame sticker - blech!) to just hit them. EIther with my car or if they are at a stop light, get out and punch them in the face. Yes, I am dealing with my anger issues but it's still tempting....

Rational policy is amazingly effective. We were in truly dire straights after three terms (although no one could imagine that there would be a Bush the Lesser or what he could dis-accomplish).

The deficit and federal debt were in unchartered territory. There were runs on banks in Manhattan -- I remember that clearly, various banks experiencing 1930s style runs. People's stock investments were wiped out by the 1987 crash. The government was taking on a $300 billion bailout of the savings and loans.

Yet with a few obvious, rational fiscal moves by Clinton the economy began to recover. By the early part of his second term, we were projected to completely pay off the federal debt!

Unemployment was so low, Connecticut businesses were sending buses down to NYC inner city areas to recruit young people for jobs and some employers were going to mental institutions to recruit low skilled labor -- there were so few unemployed people to be found in some markets!

And please don't tell me about the tech stock "bubble." What do bubble heads think they are reading this on right now??? The internets that was financed by the tech boom.

It looks dire, but that's because we have only been able to imagine being governed by unrelenting greed, stupidity, rapaciousness, irrationality, lies and plundering.

But we can recover and recover quickly if we get past this emergency.

he has destroyed this country and our reputation around the world, he needs to be arrested, he has committed CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

I hope they all choke on their ignorance, arrogance and greed, I do not forgive any of them.

helping him for 6 years and they crippled clinton for 6 years.
