Nope...not even close...They muffed the Warning of 9/11, They rejected a bi partisan Commission Report re SECURITY....early 2001...Bush and his Noob friends were in way over their heads.

Katrina offered a redemption Op....nope, blew that one too.

It really seems all that POWER in Bushies hands is being misused, underused, and/or overused....cause the 6 year report stinks like Hell.

When are the Pubs gonna dump a cancer on their Party??? Its time for Bush to see under the Repub BUS...send Bush to Rehab Camp....

3. I doubt he'll do more than the few that are subsidized by the corporations who benefited from him
He doesn't have too many friends, not counting the paid audiences.

'token' appearances

That pic would be funny if it were not true.

5. It depends on what you define as 'getting it right'
He got tax breaks for the rich
He got two appointments to the Supreme Court and shifted power to the conservatives
He got huge contracts for his buddies in the defense industry to resupply the equipment lost in Iraq

little george 'got it right' for his biggest supporters, and he didn't even win an election!

12. They can't. He's the most visible symbol of their party and they're terrified to show any doubt
Which is in some ways great for progressives, and in other ways frustrating.

16. If Bush is the most visible(like an infected BOIL).....and the GOP still supports, what does
that tell us?

It means the GOP is either STUPID or they are Nefarious.....or a combo.....

15. They weren't there to do anything right.
They were there to represent the corporations pillaging and paupering America.

They succeeded magnificently.

18. Mission Accomplished
To enrich their "elite" "base," Bush and his cronies created an illegal and immoral war; looted the U.S. Treasury; bankrupted the economy and devalued the currency; and shredded the United States Constitution and flushed it -- and our nation's future -- down the toilet.



What's more, I agree with you 100-percent, too, opihimoimoi. All that power and they couldn't do any thing right. That's hard to do.

20. Ummm. The Bushies have done everything RIGHT
They are NOT INCOMPETENT.

The "Muffed" Warning of 9/11? Bushie says "check"
Constitution shredded? Bushie says "check"
Congress reduced to useless and ceremonial, like in Nazi Germany or Imperial Rome. Bushie says "check"
New Orleans drowned, thus returning control of LA firmly to Bushie hands? Bushie says "check"
Iraq a chaotic mess, just like the El Salvador Option? Bushie says "check"

Not incompetent at all. Very competent, in fact, forr those things Bushies actually WANT to do, as opposed to those things THEY HAVE TO PRETEND TO DO, so that the Imperial Subjects of Amerikas may continue deluding ourselves that we are still free in any meaningful way (we aren't) except the actual physical reality of not being in jail.

Just like the German Jews, the vast majority of them, 1933-35.
