1. From the chimp who asked for and is spending $1,000,000,000.00 a DAY in Iraq
and who can't spare a billion for uninsured American CHILDREN.

2. Congress is overspending?
Remove the Iraq war from the scenario and I'll bet the picture changes dramatically.

Plus, the current Congress has to make up for the previous sessions, where important budget agenda items didn't get done.

As usual, omit the obvious if it makes your case look better.

It would be almost impossible to find a worse pResident than Bush.

4. I would have to say Carter
during his administation we had gas lines, double digit inflation, and for the first time in history a "Misery Index".

8. You must be kidding.
Carter worse than Bush? No way. I think habeus corpus, being spied on, losing our rights and liberties, Bush's deficit, his lies to get us into war, his cronyism, his rampant bigotry and hypocrisy plant his ass firmly in the #1 worst spot.

George Bush: Worst. President. Ever.

And per the norm, most Dem Presidents spend a good part of their term in office fixing all the f*ckups left by the previous GOP President.

3. He Forgets -- Republicans In Congress Too
So how 'bout he works on restraining *his* own party members from putting in tons of pork and special-interest money. If he had any political capital left, just think how bad he could make the Democrats look. But without leadership, capital, strength or brains, he's got nothing but pretty charts and the swallow-anything-and-like-it 29% base.

5. I don't remember him complaining about the Republican congress
That left on Christmas break last year without passing a spending bill, and left it to the dems in January.

7. Wow
4 pics of a man who looks like he hates his job. I guess it's hard to be president when no one cares what you say.
