What's going to be the 1 thing people remember most about the Bush Admin?
I think it's going to be this...

"And the terror threat level for today... (looks at polls and sees that John Kerry is pulling ahead) Red! We're are red, fools! Run for your lives!"

6. Amen.
It still seems I'm in the midst of some bad dream, and I'm going to wake up, turn on the TV and Clinton will be saying "I did not have sex with that woman."

7. Over 2000 good men and women killed
for nothing other than dreams of omnipotence and oil. The foul stink of cronyism and corruption.

9. Undoubtedly Oct 28th , Suicide Friday, the October Demise
The day senior staff met in Cheney's Office and drank kool-aid together for the last time.

15. Famous last words (eliciting laughter):

Asked in 1999 about Clinton's impeachment by the House, Bush responded, "I would have voted for it. I thought the man lied."

16. People tend to remember horrific events.
It will be either Katrina or September 11. It might depend on what part of the country one lives in.

God, I hope nothing worse is on the horizon than those two events. We know how * ruins everything he touches.

17. Transforming our democracy to a 21st century feudalistic state,
via the transfer of all wealth to the rich/ultra-rich, & the transfer of the Commons to the private sector. Our feudal lords will be the CEOs, BODs & shareholders of the corporations that rule the government.

19. Death.
Twin towers falling.
Iraq thousands dead.
Torture and death at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.
Katrina dead.


Bush will be remembered for the deaths caused by the ineptness, pride and criminality of his administration.

20. "Sheptimber Eelevennth!"
Unfortunately, that will be the case for some. Progressives will see him as the worst President ever, while DLCcrats...well, who knows?

21. mostly I'll remember the laughter
I'll be positive here. I think we'll remember GWB as what can happen if people allow themselves to be apathetic/distracted by sideshows. If his legacy is a nation (a nation for the first time in 25 years) that will take government seriously, heck, I'll send him flowers. To the Hague, I hope.

22. Corruption, lies, death, destruction, greed...
And the fact that the man cannot string a simple sentence together, but all that pales.

24. The war
The forged documents, the lies, the failure, the death and destruction.

He'll get his wish in a way, he will be remembered as a war president, just not in a good way.

25. Most corrupt presidency in American history
1. Criminal means to create a criminal war.

2. Raided the national treasury for the rich of trillions of dollars.

3. Filled almost every key government agency position with cronies.

4. Corrupted all the branches of government, including the courts, across the board.

5. Shifted the tax system from a fair one to burden the middle and lower classes, by cutting taxes time and again for the top 1%.

6. His policies destroyed a system of fair wages for a hard days work.

7. Tried to destroy Social Security.

8. Tore down the wall between church and State.

9. Abused the military to a greater extent than Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon combined.

10. Was the mastermind behind the greatest military catastrophe in American history--namely Iraq.

11. Lied before the Congress numerous times.

12. Oversaw the greatest decline in American values and prestige in the world than any other president.

13. Sold America out to China and other countries, who bought American debt.

14. Bloated the annual budget deficit and national debt to a greater extent than all the previous presidents in American history combined.

15. Was at the helm of disaster after disaster with the exact same results of incompetence.

I can go on, but I think this pretty much sums up what his disastrous legacy is.
