Bush: Sorry I Didnt Privatize Social Security

[kpete]

Former President George W. Bush signaled on Thursday that he sees not privatizing Social Security as his greatest failure from the eight years he served in the White House, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The unpopular Republican leader made the suggestion while speaking at a trade conference in the Windy City, where he discussed his legacy and also offered a glimpse into what readers can expect from his forthcoming memoir, Decision Points.

‘I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities,’ explained Bush. ‘In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.’

1. Oh my God

Why does xCommander AWOL Bush (R) hate the American people?

Didn't he and his republicon cronies do enough to trash the economy, and drive our government into fiscal chaos? He wishes his FAIL was even further reaching.

What a pathetically sick soul.

2. No, no Georgie

Your whole fucking 8 miserable years were a FAILURE as are you. Just STFU and go read your coloring book. :mad:

37. Is there a video of him saying this for a TV ad?

[BeyondGeography]

3. You and your buddies were focused on oil when we were in real danger

Asshole.

[eleny]

4. He's done the Dems a favor by this statement

Now the Dems can remind Americans how committed the right wing is regarding this important social safety net.

[BeyondGeography]

5. This is true

I hope Prez jumps on it. He has already played nicey-nice enough with his predecessor.

[eleny]

8. Right. And there's nothing warm and fuzzy about W

He's a sociopath who held the reigns of government for 8 years and ran it into a deep ditch only to walk away while brushing the dust off his hands as if to say, "Mission accomplished.".

[madmax]

10. Mission Accomplished

He did do that.

Destroyed everything Clinton did during his 8 year term while being crucified for a blow job. I don't care about that shit. That's Hillary's problem, not ours.

11. Well someone needs to make a NATIONAL AD soon..or its worthless. W in his own words.

[JaneQPublic]

13. It's Merry Chimpmas, Dems!!!

Chimpy Bush just gave the Dems the very best present we could possibly ask for. Now, no matter how hard the Repukes try to deny plans to privatize, we have proof-positive that it has been their plan all along.

It's time to start putting out the TV spots running this Bush quote and asking the voters if they really want to give the GOPers a chance to finish the job to privatize.

[eleny]

14. Sure, it's like he's sending out a clarion call to right wing candidates

He wants them to complete his unfinished business.

It's an outrage that he should think that this was his greatest failure. And it's time he take the bulls eye off the backs of the American people.

6. Kept the country safe amidst a real danger?

Except for being asleep at the wheel in 2001 despite clear warnings that anybody besides a total dickhead would have picked up on.

[Amonester]

25. Hey, give that abject chimp a break!

AWOL just wanna remain the Laughing Stock Of The World he's always been...

He lives inside his own fantasy bubble while he should be jailed forever!

[zbdent]

7. Whenever someone laments about how "Nancy Pelosi" or the Dems have

"bankrupted" the U.S. under Bush ...

"I am the decider." - George W. Bush ...

[PassingFair]

15. "Kept the country safe"????

They BLEW UP the fucking WORLD TRADE CENTER on your watch, George!

WTF?

:crazy:

[denimgirly]

16. Wellp, i was going to sit out this election but Now i know why i need to go vote.

Geezus....i thought the democrats had sold us out but reading this the republicans are just plain diastrous! Man, how the perception of what is left and right have really shifted so right that what we thought was right 20 years ago is now the new left.

[Lasher]

33. This reminds me of when Junior would give a speech and the stock market would always tank.

Every time like clockwork, that's how the market reacted to what this dickhead had to say. Now he's trying to help GOP candidates but he's characteristically making things worse for them. That's what he's always done, make things worse then leave his messes for someone else to deal with.

18. "I wish I had been the guy to destroy social security"

:shrug:

19. How about keeping the country safe after you ignore a memo that said something lke 9/11 would happen

what a dumbass

[Supersedeas]

20. the largest breach in National Security on American soil since Pearl Harbor, and he thinks

that he kept the country safe. Wow, now that is delusion.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. You kept the country safe?!?

You do remember 9/11 happened on your watch, right Bushie?

[BlueIris]

22. I'm pretty sure your greatest failure was the Iraq invasion, Mr. Bush.

What with the total absence of justification or a plan and all. I'm also not a fan of your decision to enter the White House in the first place, considering you were not legally elected to be there. And then there was that whole keeping the White House in 2004 after stealing yet another stolen election.

[toddwv]

23. He's sorry that Wall Street millionaires didn't take even more money

Imagine the state of the economy if the Bush Admin had managed to dump SS funds into the (at the time) bloated US Stock Market right before it came crashing down...

What a tool.

We got our's so...

[newspeak]

36. he didn't keep of safe, he had warning before 9/11 and basically did nothing

then, there was the anthrax attacks-now who was taking cipro? I believe he wanted to do a great big enronization on the american people. He knew he was shoveling money to his "constituents" willy nilly, with little or no accountability. All of those war profiteers that served our soldiers crap and then there are the Iraq structures that are not fit to use. One big boondoggle--he knew before the end of his term that he gutted the treasury like he did his businesses and now his buddies were going to have to bailout him out. Too many people in a frenzy over privatizing SS-to shovel even more money to wall street, so he had to confess. Time for that bailout-and I remind anyone and everyone that the bailout happened under *. It's too bad that democrats didn't put more safeguards on the money, and too bad, that they didn't think about bailing out the homeowners, like Ireland did.

[book_worm]

30. Kept the country safe? Why don't more people point out that 9/11 was on his watch!?

He seems to get a pass about what happened on 9/11--as if it doesn't count!

[Jennicut]

31. Yeah, just sorry he didn't give our money to his buddies. What a tool.

[andym]

32. Imagine the damage that the 2008 economic collapse would have wrought on privatized SS.

Bush is as stupid as he sounded when President....

[great white snark]

35. Very good point. (nt)

[Change Happens]

34. He is still a stupid man......nt
