    Has there ever been a President in our nation's history that has presided over more disasters (foreign, economic, natural, etc.) than Bush?

    -9/11
    -Katrina
    -Economic Meltdown - Worst since Great Depression
    -Enhanced interrogation/torture/extraordinary rendition
    -Turned billion dollar surplus into billion dollar debt
    -Added trillions of dollars to our national debt
    -Weakening of the dollar
    -Halliburton/Blackwater
    -The U.S. attorney scandals
    -Alienation of U.S. allies
    -FISA/illegal wiretapping
    -Worst of all - an increasingly divided and polarized nation

    This is just off the top of my head. It's incredible when you think about just how spectacular a failure he was with full Republican control for the majority of time he was in office. Just incredible.

    You forgot the worst two things he did:

    1) Go to war with Iraq on bull intelligence from a shady source that turned out false.
    2) Completely disregard Powell, the State Department, and the Army and go all-out with the ridiculous plan for war that Rumsfeld and Cheney devised. It's almost like Cheney's plan was to ensure chaos in Iraq.

    9/11 can't really be blamed on Bush, and Katrina could have killed far fewer had there been any real leadership in New Orleans and in Louisiana. The rest of your points are fair game though.

    And yes, he's easily the worst president the US has ever had the misfortune of having.

    At least that war is justified.

    Wow. Yeah, teaching a standardized test in class is a joke. I knew Bush would push it nationwide though after seeing him do it in Texas as governor.

    Wanting to lift the conservation laws was a huge negative mark from me, but most probably don't remember it.

    Bush was taking month long vacations prior to 9/11. I use to dislike him but now I just feel sorry for him. He just doesn't have the capacity to lead and we've all paid the price for it.

    Besides trying to eliminate environmental legal protections he did see to it that they were not enforced. How about politicizing the Justice Department so to use the government as an extension of the Republican party (Nixon would have been so jealous!)? We can proudly claim to have tortured more people than Putin's (Bush's soul-mate) Russia. Did we already mention the deficits? How about slapping down those ungrateful working-class people by taking away time-and-a half overtime? Those revisions to the bankruptcy laws are really going to kick in now to benefit the same companies that are tapping the borrower's tax money.

    The irony of tossing someone out of their house and raking their ass over in bankruptcy court while using the poor saps tax money to enhance the value of the lender's stock is so deliciously Republican.

    ANd yet, I guarantee, he doesn't care, because the pockets of big oil CEOs got richer, and he's not going to be living in poverty during this recession, either. And that's pretty much all he's ever cared about.

    How he gets to call himself a patriot or a Christian, I don't know. We should strip him of both les.

    You can participate in the thread too. If you think some of those issues have been unfairly tied to Bush, please say so... otherwise, STFU neocon .
