Name one Positive thing about Bush

[cushla_machree]

I am racking my brain here and coming up empty. I feel like there should be something out there that i can say, hey, you know, I disagree with Bush a lot, but there is this one time when ________.

Has he ever endorsed something good? Maybe sent money to fund something positive?

Nixon had the clean air act.

Honestly i cannot think of a single thing, what a train wreck this guy is! I feel like i should be able to come up with ONE thing that maybe wasn't so bad!

No such luck!

[Kber]

1. He knows how to fish?

[MindPilot]

19. If he knew how, he wouldn't need an artificially stocked man-made lake. nt

[MindPilot]

23. self-delete

[idgiehkt]

2. He might be gay?

maybe that's why Laura's backpedaling...

[havocmom]

3. He's not a twin

[quinnox]

4. the only thing I can come up with

he seems to shave every morning and has nice suits.

[Faux pas]

5. He's the king of photo ops? n/t

[azmouse]

6. He almost choked on a pretzel.

[Avalux]

7. Sigh. We've been through this many, many times.

Nothing, nada, zip.

:nuke:

[cushla_machree]

80. well

maybe someone will think of something.

Its just wierd to me that a president can be so lacking.

[kittenpants]

8. He clears some mean brush. n/t

[johnaries]

9. I'm POSITIVE he's an idiot.

And that he wants to be dictator.

[jackster]

10. he likes to fish

as someone who likes to fish - this is his only redeeming quality in my mind

[diamondsndust]

35. he makes good fish food too.....

[timber84]

11. He can't run again!

[saltpoint]

12. He's provided a new low watermark for public integrity. I mean,

weren't we getting tired of using Nixon all the time?

Also his administration has been such a comprehensive failure that Jeb's chances are greatly reduced of ever going after the top job. It's an inadvertent blessing.

[IChing]

13. Should I quote Hillary?

and start a flamewar?
She had some positive things to say about him

[titoresque]

14. Why? n/t

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Why would you want to find something positive about such an

enormous pile of shit?

Even if he singlehandedly ended the Iraq war right this minute, he's still the worst pResident ever.

[cushla_machree]

70. well not positive per se

What i am trying to do is, i tend to talk to a lot or rabid bush supporters, who just accuse me of being a bush hater. So I am just seeing if there is anything out there.

From what i read here, everyone is also at a loss. I mean, at least with reagan i can say, you know, that speech in germany, top notch (even thoough he was an actor). There isn't really one thing i can say that bush has done that i am like, yes, pat on back. Not even his 9-11 speech was up to par, the whole christian theme ticked me off.

I guess as someone said here, the do not call list might be one. MIGHT.

[EFerrari]

16. He's too stupid to create all this chaos on his own. n/t

[YOY]

17. The No Call Telemarketing thing?

I don't get any more calls. Don't really know if that's his doing, but hey...I guess it's something.

Pathetically minor but something.

[RebelOne]

34. Yup, that's what I was going to post.

I can't think of any other positive thing that he has done.

[emulatorloo]

49. "Do Not Call List" is about it. . .n/t

[cushla_machree]

69. ah ha

if he had anything to do with this, perhaps that is my ONE thing!

[Akoto]

18. He provides new, humorous material with every speech? :)

[izzie]

20. He has kept his hair

Barbara's son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leeroysphitz]

21. Protons and that's about it.

Ironic that his only POSITVE qualities are SUB-ATOMIC.

[phantom power]

22. He won't live forever?

[meti57b]

24. He signed the do-not-call bill and something else but I forgot what it is

[hobbit709]

25. No one is totally useless

He can always serve as a bad example.

[The_Casual_Observer]

26. Only 3 years to go.

[MindPilot]

27. He's been a godsend to comedy writers everywhere. nt

[dave123williams]

28. He seems to be a regular bather.

[Jigarotta]

56. lol. I was about

to say something like that. But the guy stinks to high heaven so I had to come up with something else.

He wears clean ties? could that be something positive about him or does that credit go to his valet?

This is truly brain wracking and scary. Not one damn good thing about him that I can think of.

[RedStateShame]

29. New job

He can be the commissioner of Major League Baseball to keep busy when he exits office--in one capacity or another--giving me time to more thoroughly enjoy the NBA, NFL, and NHL.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

30. He has a cute dog: Barney.

[Hoping4Change]

31. His whole being personifies the stupidity, crassness, greed,

insipidness,ineptitude, incompetence of the Right.

[porphyrian]

32. He has a finite existance. - n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

33. Hmm...what's his blood type?

B+ ?

[in_cog_ni_to]

36. There's not ONE positive/nice/favorable thing to say about that rat

bastard.

[cushla_machree]

79. isn't that sad?

That a human being could be such a fuckup and worthless useless person.

And hes actually considered the president!

For a guy who spends his days sleeping late, clearing brush, and generally thinking other people are going to handle it, he sure fucks up a lot of things.

Maybe thats the problem, the captain is not manning the ship. He is not delegating or coordinating anything.

I always wondered if bush supporters actually think he DOES anything?

[garybeck]

37. there is ONE thing - residential solar tax credits

he signed legislation to enact tax credits for the purchase of residential solar energy systems.

it is ironic that we didn't get any tax credits under Clinton and we did under Bush. I guess they were just "throwing us a bone" while they raid the treasury.

but the bottom line is, there is federal financial assistance for solar now, and there wasn't when he came to office.

other than that, he's worthless.

[Ganja Ninja]

38. He's doing a better job destroying the GOP than ..

all the Democrats combined.

[marions ghost]

50. thants what I was going to say

his "legacy" may include a new resistance to Rethuglicans.

[tinrobot]

54. Exactly

He will singlehandedly destroy the GOP for a generation.

Just like Herbert Hoover.

[Jim Lane]

39. His appointments

He's provided good jobs for many people who would otherwise be unemployable.

[cushla_machree]

82. Hahahhahahahha n/t

[lpbk2713]

40. He fired Brownie

Even though he was doing a heck of a job.







No, wait. Never mind. That was to cover BushCo's collective asses.

[MemphisTiger]

41. He's in decent shape for a man his age

you've got to admit that, but that's about it

[bdamomma]

55. but his mind isn't

[MemphisTiger]

63. His mind has been gone for a while

[GodlessBiker]

42. He's found the strength to live longer than he should.

[The Blue Flower]

43. He got us fired up and organized

n/t

[opihimoimoi]

44. He is a GOOD Example of a BAD CEO...he has taken the steps

to insure other Presidents are NOT LIKE HIM...

As for Good he has done...Nada, zilch, nai, Puka, Kaput, Zero, empty, etc

[opihimoimoi]

45. ignore ...dupe

[Beelzebud]

46. One day. He'll drop dead.

[greenbriar]

47. he can't run for pres again?

???

[progressivebydesign]

48. He likes bicycles, and he owns pets. That's all I can offer. n/t

[Richard D]

51. The 'do not call' act for telemarketers

[Canuckistanian]

52. He doesn't overwork himself

In bed by 9:00 or 10:00 every night, a record number of vacation days, delegates almost all his workload to toadies...

That's all I can come up with.

:shrug:

[MaineYooper]

53. he doesn't cause babies to burst into flames in his presence. nt

[Bluzmann57]

57. His last name is easy to pronounce

Thats all I can come up with. Sorry.

[Buck Laser]

58. He lives in a good ZIP code.

[AzDar]

59. I simply cannot. I am one of those (IIRC) 8 %'ers who, even on 9/11,

couldn't get on board with his rhetorical jive. He's ALWAYS been unworthy of the office; terrifyingly so.
The one thing I'm grateful for, however, is that he isn't just a BAD president, he's a stupid, lying, brain-dead, tyrant, and IT'S OBVIOUS .
If these goddamned bunglers had been this evil and corrupt, but also COMPETENT, we'd be in much more jeopardy, I think.
Many could see through his act all along; and through their horrific landslide of boobery and GLARING faux pas, the rest are beginning to see the light...Jeebus be praised.

[WinkyDink]

60. He's positively a psychopath.

[Recursion]

61. One?

I can think of several:

He's charismatic, affable, outstanding memory (better even than WJ Clinton's for names and faces), funny (in a "frat boy partying" sense; not so much in a one liner or joke-telling sense), loyal to his friends. The problem is he did not use his powers for good. Nor even for awesome.

[TheWraith]

62. He perseveres in the face of overwhelming opposition from reality.

Honestly, I'm not sure that Bush has any redeeming qualities. He makes Nixon look good in comparison. Every idea he's had or endorsed that I would agree with, he eventually fucked up, gutted, double-crossed, or ignored. Afghanistan, education reform, intelligence, the space program, you name it, if it was positive he ended up fucking it up worse than it was before. The best thing I can say about him is that he never gives up on his ideas, no matter the odds or the opposition. Pity that couldn't be applied to something good.

[linazelle]

90. No matter what happens on Tuesday...

:rofl:

[ecstatic]

64. I bought my first home under this administration---although

I'm not sure if Bush had anything to do with making it possible.

[lonestarnot]

65. He won't let himself be cloned. Doesn't believe in it.

[genieroze]

66. Um, nope sorry I can't think of a thing.

[L A Woman]

67. I was going to say I admire him for quitting drinking at age 40

but i'm not convinced he actually did that.

So...I got nuthin. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

68. Nixon did a lot more than that

Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, created the EPA, banned DDT...

Reagan signed into law the California Environmental Quality Act.

[cushla_machree]

78. oh yeah

I forgot about all of those. Thats the problem here, they all did some things that were decent. Clinton even adopted some conservative ideas (welfare reform), but this bush, zero and zip. Nothing worthy of accomplisment

[NNadir]

71. He's mortal.

He has to die some day.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

72. His Drug Test.

[WinkyDink]

83. BWAH! The WINNER!

[NJ Democrats]

73. He owned a baseball team

Um? Um? He uh uh...

[guinivere]

74. Well, he seems to be able to operate a comb without

any visible trouble.

[manic expression]

75. He doesn't eat babies on a regular basis

as far as we know.

[unhappycamper]

76. * is a complete fucking asshole.

I'm positive.

[rug]

77. Nothing, not even his protons.

[Mr_Spock]

81. He's a moron.

This is positive for democrats.

[Rocknrule]

84. Um, duh, *scratches ass*

he doesn't want homoseckshuals to marry so he hates the same people God hates, there haven't been any terra attacks or alien invasions since 9/11, and he's taking away our freedoms so the terraists won't hate us for them
:sarcasm:

[benburch]

85. One positive thing???

The ONLY one is that "Who was Richard Nixon?" will no longer have to be the answer to "He was the worst US President Ever." card on Jeopardy!

[PaDem]

86. He likes baseball and he isn't afraid to be seen drunk in public.

for starters.

[genie_weenie]

87. * hasn't killed as many Americans as Lincoln...

And Lincoln is regarded by some as a "Great" President.

[Generic Brad]

88. He successfully demonstrated the dangers of Segways

[Sacajawea]

89. No visible ear hair.

:evilgrin:

[Dinger]

91. I Am POSITIVE He's Evil nt
