than any president in U.S. history.

Center attack I have successfully prevented any
public investigation into the biggest security
failure in the history of the United States.

2. What a commercial this would make!

You got to admit that the Chimp makes James Buchannan look like Lincoln!

The Chimp is the WORST President this country has ever had!

4. The problem is, both sources are bad. :(

So, the "resume" is not without a lot of problems, though I love the spirit in which it was intended. There are some things in there that are actually blatantly false, whether we all hate bush or not. But on the other hand, the "refutation" of the resume is just as problematic. There are some valid points, and then there are a whole slew of arguments that are in no way valid refutations.

Since both things are kind of a mess, I'm just basically tossing all of it aside for better and more accurate source of Bush failings.
