Like attacking Iran or antagonize Russia even more?

2. I fear that it won't be pretty.
Pardoning everyone, gutting more regulations, huge no-bid contracts, who knows.

4. He can, but that would involve actual work, so I doubt he will.
One thing he's shown himself as is averse to actually working, even for his own agenda.

I wouldn't be surprised if he overwinters in Texas.

5. Right now he's focused on limiting product liability lawsuits.
Don't want the commoners suing companies with the companies' products blow up, poison, injure, etc..

7. Bush Sr.
went into Somalia in December 1992 after losing to Bill Clinton. So even though G.W. Bush is a Lame Duck has the power of the Presidency.

8. or maybe more rocket attacks inside Pakistan
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 11:43 AM by NI4NI
Oh that's right, that's already started.
Targetting Bin Laden/AlQueda is one thing, but last week dozens of citizens were killed.

13. Didn't he just bomb Syria?
I could totally see him starting a war just to drop a big dookie into Obama's presidency.

16. I assume this is a rhetorical question.
I mean, this is George W. Bush we're talking about, right? If he's awake he's fucking something up.

If he ever actually tried to do something good, he would still cause harm. Someone should confine him to the pig farm until January 20 and take away the keys to Air Force One.

17. Of course he (and Cheney) can. And you can bet. . .

. . .they're scrambling to funnel every penny they can to their "friends."

Every single day Congress has failed to impeach, the bushncheney steamroller keeps rolling along, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Our moral foundation. . .crunch. Our economy. . .crunch. Our justice system. . .crunch crunch. Every single institution of our government falling apart under the "leadership" of evil co-conspirators or incompetent hacks.

Members of Congress are well aware of the devastation. By their failure to impeach, they have made themselves accomplices.

18. I don't trust that bastard.
Bush is a weasel, and him playing nice to Obama worries the hell out of me.
