The Legacy of George W Bush ?
C-SPAN was discussing the "nuclear legacy" of "Mr Bush" from an article in the NYTimes this morning. The more sensible callers realized that the world is much less safe. His "nuclear legacy" is lacking but what will be his full "legacy"?

In my opinion, the name of George W Bush will be on a par with Herbert Hoover after the Great Depression. For decades, the Republican Party refused to mention Hoover's name in politie circles. His name was synonymous with poverty and failure. George Bush's "legacy" will be similar.

It will take decades to re-establish our credibility around the world, if it is now possible? The debt and the tax giveaways to the wealthy are also part of his legacy. The poor and middle-class will be most affected by that part of his legacy. The divisions and the inclination for war as the only solution will be the lasting legacy of George W Bush.

3. Bush is a colossal, embarrassing failure.
The full extent of his worthlessness will be increasingly realized once he leaves office (please God).

His legacy will be one of dividing our friends and uniting our enemies; of comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted; of undermining the Constitution and the American system of government; and through it all, of lying and lying and lying once again.

The world as a whole is trying to reject Bush the way the human body rejects infection and disease-causing agents. This Bush assassination movie from England represents the subconcious, repressed wish of the entire world that he and his lackeys would just go away, by any means necessary.

4. A Legacy of Botched Schemes
Bush's claim to fame is much more than being a crook and a liar...
Bush's legacy is that he fucked up everything he touched.

(and apparently that was his reputation before he was prez too)

7. lying
His biggest lie was during the 2000 Presidential Race:

"I'm a uniter, not a divider."

Don't we all feel all warm and fuzzy over being so "united", my fellow Americans?

6. Three photos that say it all...






Mays, a young Iraqi Shi'ite girl, cries after a mortar shell which landed outside her home in Najaf injured her uncle August 18, 2004. Explosions and sniper fire echoed from around holy sites in Najaf on Thursday, raising doubts that a radical Shi'ite cleric would end a bloody uprising and leave his sanctuary in a sacred shrine.

10. Nuclear Bush
I'm thinking that someone in charge of "Nuclear" weapons should know how to pronounce the word.
That friggin moron still says "Nukular"... How anyone can back this lying, murdering coward is beyond me.

At least some of his loyal Retardlican sheeple have come to their sences. I guess thats why he's starting his new tour to re-recruit his broken flock. The sad thing is , some of these spineless jellyfish will buy into his lies once again.x(

16. Bush's legacy will be precisely what his life has been: Failure after
failure after failure.

His entire life is firmly entrenched in failure.

He failed at every business he ever had a hand in.

He failed as Governor of TX to reign in a debt that nearly bankrupted the state, in fact he added to that debt in monumental proportions.

He has failed miserably as president by bring the nation close to a state of financial stress that will not be alleviated for many years.

He has failed as a diplomat. He has driven this nation into a diplomatic corner that will be extremely hard to be extracted from. He has destroyed our credibility with both friends and neutrals, and has united a huge segment of the world against us.

Nothing but failure follows this man, and he is a plague upon us.

Put simply, this is the worst president this nation has ever seen. His arrogance, born of ignorance and inherent stupidity has damaged this great nation in a way that recovery will be long and hard.
