What will be bush's legacy?

[butterfly77]

the repubs seem to be trying to help him fix it, something that I believe that is unrepairable...

[Joanne98]

1. The man who was always wrong!

He has the worse case of bad judgement I've ever seen.

[Deja Q]

2. His legacy? He says he'll be looked at fondly. By whom?

And when will he come out and actually say what he is trying to achieve in America? Conjecturing from what we can infer does little.

[butterfly77]

13. He has hit just about every sector of this country....

with some type of policy or policies that effects them detrimentally. I don't see how any rewriting of history can fix up his legacy. No matter what he does in Iraq or elsewhere he has done too much damage...And he is too stupid to realize it, I believe that we will forget and ...I WILL NOT FORGET!

3. Imagine a bloodied, blackened landscape,

with men, women, and children crying....a ravished earth, with pools of stagnant, fetid water....not enough food....heat baked plains.....and perhaps a nuclear winter.....

4. As I've often said, he won't leave a legacy; he'll leave an aftermath.

5. Legacy: * had no plan except for war and that was a poor one.

[Uben]

6. Two failed wars

...resulting in the worst foreign policy blunder ever, in the history of the United States, if not the world! Cap that with his utter disdain for the constitution, and he should be remembered as the worst president to have ever served. Total and complete failure. Hopefully, it will end with impeachment, removal from office, and prosecution by the world court for his crimes against humanity, and leave him resting miserably in prison for the remainder of his life.

7. The American Nero.....

The leader who took down the "American Century" with a wrecking ball.

[RDANGELO]

8. He facilitated America's decline as the world power.

After World War II, being the only industrialized country that wasn't decimated, the U.S. became the worlds predominant power. The natural erosion of that power has been taking place over the recent decades. The invasion of Iraq was part of a gamble to restore that dominance or arrest the decline, which blew up in their faces and actually accelerated the decline. When all this is said and done, the U.S. will be just another industrialized nation.

9. A second rate Augusto Pinochet, war criminal, torturer, oppressor of workers & unions.

A greedy corporate imperialist, a wannabe dictator, an arrogant idiot, a very stupid, stupid man!

[951-Riverside]

10. His legacy will be....

Bringing the country together after Sept 11th
Defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan
Freeing Iraq from Tyranny
and being a down to earth no-nonsense president.

of course all of these things are either not true, inaccurate or complete lies but they will force this "legacy" in the schools, on television and on the internet.

[MikeNearMcChord]

11. I think future presidents, mainly bad ones.

Will have the monicker, "At least He/She wan't bad like George W. Bush" attached to their legacies. Can anyone go lower?

[niceypoo]

12. Massive debt

[solara]

14. Unfortunately, Junior's "legacy" will last for years

But, History can never validate the abuse of power and the crimes committed in the name of Freedom and Democracy by the current Bush administration.

These quotes from Bush's speeches were designed to manipulate us and calculated to generate fear; they were aimed at the 'enemies' and "evil ones" who stood in the way of his "world vision'. But, by his own words, he condemns himself and defines his own shameful legacy. He, himself, has given us a timely warning and set the only honorable course for the future of this country.

"We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace."

"Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."

"We're now in an ideological struggle between extremists and people who want peace. We can't allow the world's worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world's worst weapons."

"For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people. Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character." - George W. Bush


Hopefully we, as a nation, will glean the truth from his words and "affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise". Whether it is by investigation, exposure, indictment, impeachment, or imprisonment...Bush and his cabal must be held accountable, or we, too, will share the shame of his frightful and bloody legacy.

15. The man who tried to ruin America
