:shrug:

Dude seems completely invisible now. Two months seems WAY too long to just check out.

6. Of course not!
He's a pyro...loves setting fires at others' expense too much.

He's the Stoker since he doesn't have to be the Decider anymore.

He loves to watch things burn...like brush...yeah...the world is his personal Pig and Brush Farm.

7. No .... He is on a 'Slash and Burn' mission now ....
He is moving his RW acolytes into career civil service positions this very moment ...

See : http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3613702

That, and kill every worthy regulation from the last 70 years ....

Dont be surprised if child labor laws and the 8 hour workday are declared null and void by January 19th ...

11. He is doing his best to destroy everything left that is beautiful
in America through his oil drilling, mining and logging leases. The Obama Administration will have its hands full to clean up after he leaves!!!

9. Krugman wrote a great piece the other day...
... about what happened during the Hoover-Roosevelt interregnum. Scary stuff.

10. No, he will also eat some pretzels, pick his nose, watch football, etc.
Actually, I'm not sure he CAN fiddle, but he might throw some brush-clearing in.

15. Absolutely not. I'm sure he's going to inflict as much damage as possible.
Why waste a perfect opportunity to punish us for not liking him.....

17. I prefer it this way. Bush quitting is an appropriate ending.
Let the markets bottom out under Bush.

20. I'd PREFER That He Do Nothing
It makes no sense to leave the repairs to the crew that broke it in the first place. Better to ride it out until a better "fix-it" man can get the job.

22. Yes, and I continue to hear
how the economy's fault is Obama's. Bush is never the blame for anything. These right wing assholes will not stop until we force them to. I'm really looking forward to investigations and prosecutions.

Hopefully......finally....

:)
