What part of his job is Bush doing better than Clinton ?
Yes, he chops wood and drives a truck, but what can anyone point to that Bush is doing better than Clinton, expect perhaps, bullshitting? Some will say that he's doing a better job than Clinton on protecting our country from terrorists but Bush was the person who was asleep at the wheel of his pickup down in Texas and was hiding out in a classroom down in Florida when our country was attacked? So that argument is the weakest of all, in my opinion.

2. I have actually given this some serious contemplation over...

the last 18 months, so please do not take this as a pithy partisan answer.

Not a damn thing.

3. Er...um...well, he seems to be managing not to fuck around on his wife.
Unless there's something going on with Condi, which I half-suspect.

37. He just hasn't been caught at this
He told someone in 1988 he and his dad spend alot of time talking about "pussy", so don't buy the "faithful husband" bullshit.

4. Don't think it's part of the job, but he's better at avoiding being
put under oath than Clinton!

5. I don't think you understand
Clinton really messed everything up. I know it kind of looks like a lot of bad stuff has happened on Bush's watch, but all that stuff is clearly Clinton's fault. Even five years into his presidency, President Bush is still paying for all the bad things that Clinton did, like have sex in the white house.

6. He's better -- or at least his people are better. . .
At seizing control of the country and driving it in a direction that the majority doesn't want to go . . . and getting away with it!

Basically, these guys can't govern worth a shit, but they're really good at bare-knuckles politics.

That pretty much covers it.

11. More terrorism in 2004 than all other years combined
So much so that Bush* threw out the report which has been issued every year for ninteen years. It is no longer considered valid by these people who choose what needs to be heard and seen and what does not.

14. He's much, much better at intimidating and controlling the press
His limited photo ops, his lack of press conferences, and his refusal to meet with anyone that is questioning of his policies have effectively limited coverage of his failures.

18. You forgot 9/11!
Terrorists attacked the WTC while Clinton was in office, but they didn't destroy it. Only six people died--Bush definitely presided over a more spectacular attack.

(Of course, arrests were made after the earlier attack.)

20. Taking a comparatively prosperous country..
with a budget surplus, low energy prices, that is at peace and running it into the goddamned ground. Bush is a worthless piece of shit.

29. Enriching a few defense contractors, obviously.
there are some who've benefited from the PNAC vision-thing.

Beyond that, I can't think of anything.

30. He's avoiding being sidetracked by scandal.
Of course, he's being helped in that by a media that won't cover all the scandals perpetrated within his administration, in contrast to Clinton, who the media was all over all the time, inventing scandals when it couldn't come up with real ones.

So, I guess you could say that Bush is more successful at having the media in his hand, and controlling what issues get discussed in it.

And to many of his supporters, that is the ONLY thing that matters in a president.

33. "Screwing" That's it, "screwing." Screwing up the country, screwing up
the rest of the world. He's done that better than Clinton and any other President in history.

36. Here's one that's real
Bush has those really cool banners which let you know exactly what it is he's talking about...like the famous "Mission Accomplished". Now, he has all the Social Security banners. Every time he gives a speech, there's a convenient banner. So you don't have to really listen. Which is excrutiating. Just read the banner!
Clinton didn't do that, did he? No concise bannerspeak. Just all those words. Words. Words. Words.
