Failure to stop 9/11, find Osama, or win the war, what a legacy.
When you look at it objectively, bush has failed miserably on so many things, including getting help to New Orleans, what a heck of a failure that was. Five years of failing to find the perpetrator of nine eleven, an attack he knew was coming but for some reason failed to warn us about.

He's failed to defeat Al Qaeda, failed to be a uniter or a decider, failed to appease the far right Christian conservatives, failed to fix social security, failed to make America and the world safer. Now he's failed to win his own unnecessary war, and failed to bring democracy to the middle east. Failed to follow the road map to peace between Israel and Palestine.

He has two more long, long years to fail, he has always failed throughout his life, which is a bad enough legacy for any individual man, but when this guy fails, thousands of people die, otherwise he'd just be another witless, anonymous failure nobody ever heard of.

I've actually met people who say that bush is the greatest president that ever sucked in a breath and I hear cspan callers say it all the time, and I wonder do they really believe that shit? I'd like to just ask them what drove them to this state of absolute brain washed, hallucinogenic thinking to see a hero when they look upon such a failure as the ape. I just don't get it.

1. I think that he was the face of USA is what is the crown that kills.
My thoughts are that he will end up in the history books as the one in power that started the down fall of this 'Empire' like the last Kaiser and Czar and the power of the Brits gone after WW1, when cultures around the world changed. I do not think Bush did it all but he was just sitting on the wavy and helped it turn over. I think we all live in this wavy of ups and downs and it is the way life is and we can not do much to stop it but Bush has rushed it along. In a funny way our own belief in self govt. has moved around the world in the last 200 years as we wanted and now we can not seem to understand the very thing we wanted. Self rule as we try and force it on people at the end of a gun.

2. He may even have to escape like the Czar did.
Some say that would be impossible, but impossible things happen all the time.

I can see future grade school classes showing slide shows of the presidents, and when they get to bush all the kids will boo and hiss and laugh, like we do now when we see pictures of Hitler.

You can legitimately call the bush years as one of our nation's lowest most shameful points.

4. I can also see that. The Kaiser fell under the Dutch
and they let him live out his life. We know the Czar and family were killed by Lenin. Even if England was on the so called winning side all changed. Their royals did not rule. Hapsburg were also put off the ruling power but they had just about died out.

5. But he's killed more Americans than Osama bin Laden.
And he ain't done yet.

He's sure been a great gift, bush has.

To the terrorists.
