George W. Bush Will You Please Go Now!
In our fondest dreams, the Worst. President. Evah. would have been out the door the day after Nov. 4.
Seems a large majority of Americans feel the same way:
A new national poll suggests that three out of four Americans feel President Bush's departure from office is coming not a moment too soon.
Seventy-five percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Friday said they're glad Bush is going; 23 percent indicated they'll miss him.
"Earlier this year, Bush scored some of the lowest presidential approval ratings we've seen in half a century, so it's understandable that the public is eager for a new president to step in," said Keating Holland, CNN polling director.
CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider added, "As President Bush prepares to leave office, the American public has a parting thought: Good riddance. At least that's the way three-quarters feel."
The only point about this poll I found puzzling: "Twenty-eight percent of those polled say President Bush is the worst president in U.S. history."
That seems way too low. Expect it to climb in the coming years.
Of course, Bush's legacy tour has been trying to repair the damage. But it's like a cat kicking some sand over its just-completed dump. Hot air and B.S. simply can't cover over the economic wreckage, the foreign-relations deterioration, and the long-term disaster that has been W.
"Of course, Bush's legacy tour has been trying to repair the damage. But it's like a cat kicking some sand over its just-completed dump"
The most fragrant cat litter in the world won't cover that stench.
And historians have chosen Bush as one of the worst, if not the worst.
There have been terrible Presidents in the past, but have there been any with his unique combination of ignorance, his privilege of a Presidency by Supreme court appointment, his incredible lack of diplomatic skills, no intellectual curiosity, an inability to speak and think clearly, and most importantly, the Pres. to give rise to the most ominous and influential back door decision making by his supposed lesser, the Vice Pres., in this case an evil and pathological warmonger bent on military conquest? Other than mountain biking and cutting brush in Crawford, Bush has no interests, he's a bored man, tasked with leading the free world. So much responsibility when he'd rather be on vacation.

Bush has done a great job. He was not put in office to serve the
American People. He was crowned by the Supreme Court for the
military industrial congressional mediatainment complex.
The MICMC has done
great these past 8 years and with the groundbreaking
anti-constitutional work of Bush&Co, they continue to thrive in the
pervasive National Security State environment. Obama will fill in
nicely, outwardly appearing to be a foil to Bush's heavy hand, but
continuing to serve the the MICMC and it's goals.
Those goals DO NOT include Peace or Justice for working men and women.
Absolutely spot on.
The Fraudulent Wars on Terror and Drugs will still continue.
of destroying the middle class and shredding the Constitution.
And the Wealthy have never been so free to behave lawlessly until now.
cuz that's exactly what he was 'elected' to do.
and don't think for a minute that Obama will undo any of this.
The state does not relinquish power(s) that is has attained.
The state would not elect a man who actually would change the rigged system that the elites and the Military-Industrial-Media-Complex enjoy over us plebes.
because it's true.
Plus, 46% of the morons, VOTED FOR THEM AGAIN!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
actually, its probably closer to the 90% of the population that keeps voting for the same fraudulent system over and over.
How does the mob fix a boxing fight? by getting both fighters in on the fix.
same with American politics (and probably most other countries too.)
Obama has already shown us that he will be a better diplomat, a deeper thinker, a wiser "decider," and a more engaged statesman. I can only HOPE that Leadership (above) is wrong in his suggestion that Obama will, in reality, serve the wants and needs of the current political power structure of the US, and not THE CITIZENS. In his "long run," I think Obama will show himself to be a "president of the people," which will prove to be his biggest contrast to President Bush.
But they're not going to rescind the bushevik tax-cuts to the wealthy and the super-rich.
You might take a clue from that as to where his practical --vs, his rhetorical-- sympathies repose.
Also, plenty of clues to see based on who he has surrounded himself with...
Albright - "500k children dead was worth it."
Brzezinski - Rockefeller chrony and rabid anti-Russian, founding father of Al Qaeda, via morph from the Mujaheddin.
in the Hamptons.
25 people showed up and the vast majority are for a Medicare style healthcare system which would take all the insurance company employees and move them into government jobs running the business end of things.
There were only one or two people who were defending the insurance companies.
The only major problem is that Obama, Clinton, Biden and all the other members of Congress are in deep cahoots with the insurance/pharmaceutical corporations with all the campaign contributions and therefore the old "quid pro quo".
The insurance companies will not be shown the door, and the same old shit will continue. No care for 50 million Americans and slipshod care for the rest because the insurance companies are only interested in one thing: PROFITS.
Supposedly the leaders of the group will be reporting the results of our meeting to Mr. Daschle. And supposedly there is a bill in the House for National Health Care. I believe John Conyers is the sponsor.
Considering the state of the economy and where it's headed, I hope to God everyone will get out there and lobby his/her current Rep. and Senator on this bill.
And one more thing. Apparently the states who have tried to "MANDATE" that people buy insurance are failing. People are finding that they can't afford the insurance premium and that it's cheaper to PAY THE FREAKIN' FINE!!!!
"The US has an army of 90,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and is spending $100bn a year, but has still been unable to defeat 20,000-25,000 Taliban who receive no pay at all." - Patrick Cockburn
and head the way of Wall Street, then they will be easy to nationalize for a pittance.
And if nature doesn't put them on this path, it can be engineered like the WS meltdown / buy up.
Now that those upper 2% have half of the wealth in the country, they are NOT going to give it back! We have to take it from them.
Yet so many people I tell this too, still buy into the republican tax cut ponzi scheme - that taxing the rich is somehow unfair, and (god forbid) socialism? When I tell them their wages are going down, and nobody has any money because the aristocracy has 25% of the total national wealth that use to belong to the middle class), they look at me like - "well, so what. That's the way things are."
This country has been so dumbed-down by the right wing MSM, that people who are losing everything, are more worried that millionaires and billionaires may have to pay more in taxes, than they are about their own desperate situation. It's absolutely astonishing!
Am I the only one encountering this level of ignorance and stupidity in my own circle's, or is anyone else encountering the same thing?
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
I've been saying the same thing for over 25 years.
Man, that's depressing. I was hoping it was something peculiar to my own social cirlce's and rather large (right-wing) rural family.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
Q: what's the difference between Bush and Al-Qaeda?
A; we can recover from the damage caused by Al-Qaeda.
to compare Bush to cat turds. The turds can be composted. Also, cats provide companionship, are intelligent, loyal, and clean. At least they try to cover their dumps, whereas Bush shows them to the world on a daily basis.
Provide companionship.
"The only point about this poll I found puzzling: "Twenty-eight percent of those polled say President Bush is the worst president in U.S. history."
28% is a HUGE number for Worst President Ever. I read that when King George's approval ratings were in the high 20's, it equated to a 10% approval rating among Dems and Independents. So maybe this isn't totally apples to apples, but I think the extrapolation is big when you consider that probably less than 1% of Repugs consider George the WPE, think about the percentage of the other 2/3 of the population who do!
As far as WPE, I have long thought that King George could qualify as WAE: WORST AMERICAN EVER.
Who has done more damage to the constitution and America's image than this war monger. Who has spied on it's own citizens, condoned torture, and has brought more shame to America in the world community?
Forget Benedict Arnold, King George is the WAE
whose record was objectively worse than that of #43.
I'd be really intersted to know who else was on the list, to account for the other 72%...
What other candidates are there, in terms of presiding over unrestrained rot, failure, and corruption? Hoover was a one-termer, so comparisons with him are somewhat dubious. He was the victim of Coolidge economic laissez faire-ness. Taft? Who remembers Taft?
By any 'objective' criteria, the Chimperor was (still is, unfortunately) indisputably the worst president ever. The only other possible candidate would be Buchanan, the president before Lincoln, who was incompetent to confront the tensions that were leading to the Civil War, in terms of departing from office with the Nation in the throees of catastrophe.
of the elite propaganda regime.
He's detested by many folks, but his base is still his base, and it includes the rich and powerful who had done very well under his (mis)management, until recently.
If he nourished a shred of shame, he'd slink off to paraguay and never darken our shores again.
But he won't. Bush will be making appearances for mega-bucks, withing 3-6 months. He'll have the "center" at his "library."
And we'll have his "legacy" up our national ass, like a plunger handle applied by disgruntled NY cops to a Haitian "perp" when they're forced to release him...
Nixon was pretty much totally rehabilitated within 10 years, and he didn't have the connections of the Bush crime family.
I wouldn't declare Mission Accomplished quite yet. Not until Bush and Cheney and pals are long gone or in jail.They still have over three weeks to declare themselves saviors and declare martial law.Lots of crap has been going down all over ( Israel,India etc.etc.). I just wouldn't put anything past the NeoZionistCons at this point. They got away with everything so far haven't they ? Can you see it now ? Shrub going on TV saying America needs proven leadership (them) during this crisis and its not time to change the horses in the middle of the race.
Its well past mobs with torches and pitchfork time anyways. That fact has probably just empowered them to believe they could actually pull it off.
and allowed the Madoffs of Wall Street to loot it.
They are in denial at the moment, still afraid to curse his name.
On "Washington Week" last night, one reporter (I forget his name, but from the NYT), noted on these poll results:
When you sum it up like that... it's breathtaking that he hasn't be dragged out in chains.
* There are two types of Republicans: millionaires and suckers.

My right wing idiot brother-in-law still likes GWB. He graduated from the U of Phoenix in seven short years.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
I've tried to reason with GWB dead-enders. Apparently, they have incredibly low standards for republican politicians. I usually am able to leave them speechless with 2 questions. 1. If you were a business owner and GWB worked for you, how long would it be before you fired him? 2. If you were employed by him, how long would it be before you quit?

Sadly, Bush is no genius, but he's not as stupid as he appears to be. He's a sick, arrogant, psychopath. He's done to the USA what he's done to everything he's ever attempted; He's ruined it. It will be years before we can recover.
what, sadly, endures him to a good portion of that 23-28% of his fans. Misery loves company.

the willing accomplices in the "liberal" media, Bush wouldn't be hired to swab toilets. The die-hards still cling to the "librul media" bullshit, conveniently forgetting how they gave this idiot a pass on so many topics. Whenever I mention this to a dittohead, they always find some minor point to emphasize how the media was in the tank for Obama. I then mention Jim/Jeff Gannon/Guckert and how that creepy story was never investigated. Their response is usually "Who's he?"
and check out the article by Glenn Greenwald from Dec. 24th regarding all those in the media who are up for forgiving Bush and Co. for torture/war crimes. There's a video of these two journalists discussing how it was, well,....acceptable....that we torture....under the circumstances. Etc.
It'll blow your mind.

The real point of the poll is the 23% who will miss him. They are loyal followers and they beg the question, who are they and what is their psychological makeup? That they are submissive authoritarian followers, there is very little doubt. Their (chosen) leaders can do no wrong. To put it mildly, these people are dangerous to democracy.
If Bush strangled a cat on live television during a news conference they would aggressively defend him.
Scary.
but the other 22%?? Gotta be Clannity's audience...
"Parachutes are allowed in checked or carry-on baggage, but may not be worn in flight."
---Southwest Airlines
That 25% or so would suggest there are still 75 million fucktards inhabiting the USA. Cant fix stupid.
that or the meds they take.
That would be my brother-in-law in above post. Then he would say, screw the damn cat! That's what he said about New Orleans victims.
But guess what, it's okay, because he's a fundamentalist Baptist, and he goes to church every Sunday, where he takes part in all kinds of church programs - like the Christian Coalition. You know, those groups that really help the less fortunate.
I really think he is certifiable!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
I have two brothers-in-law very much the same.
Anymore I just laugh at them and tell them they're suckers and patsies for the rich. This really pisses them off because they have no real retort (except: "Yeah, you're a sucker too!") and it bares their vulnerable spot.
Also, it's a simple summation of the truth, and in their hearts, they know it.
To the poster above regarding strangling a cat. Hell, if Bush strangled a 2 year old child on TV there are a lot of people who would say the child was a terrorist sympathizer and deserved far worse!
This proves to me the country is in real trouble as many in our midst are bereft of conscience, and that does not bode well for our future!

Something Americans would do well to examine...
How is it that this man was re-elected? There are flaws in the outlooks of Americans regarding how you interact with the rest of the world. Have a few looks inside and prepare yourselves for what your ignorance and bellicosity have wrought. Don't look just to Obama to save your respect and dignity. Do it yourselves, or suffer the ignominious fate of other empires.
He was not elected the first time.
He was not elected the second time.
The Supreme Court appointed him the first time.
The fraud in Ohio the second time was rampant and the press ignored it. Only one example was a precinct reporting 15,000 vote for Bush. The only problem was the precinct only had 1,500 registered voters.
He was not elected to be President. Not even once!
the extent to which it DOESN'T matter is exactly the extent to which we are fundamentally fucked...
You are correct. We are fucked.
for hundreds of years. Welcome to the fuckfest!
come now where is the hope that obama will be any different ? they shoved obama and clinton up our ass and told us this is who we want you to vote for, we can keep buisness as usual with these two hookers! thank you for participating in our farce! sighned haliburton and the real people who pull the strings of the politicians in this dictatorshp!
Yes, how I wince to remember Clinton: Those eight shameful years of peace and prosperity ... and now, possibly doomed again to another eight years of intelligent and progressive government. Oh! ain't it awful.
peace and prosperity?
you must be joking.
the lambs were fattened-up for the slaughter.
accumulation of debt and exporting out jobs and importing cheap labor,
is not prosperity.
the peace of bombing the shit outta any country that sneezed!

I wasn't a fan of Slick Willy, but we had unemployement drop every year he was in to the low 2's, a balanced budget, record breaking stock market gains, & $18 a barrel oil.

sure glad you never mentioned peace with all that prosperity, especialy the prosperity will consist if it ever comes about is low paying jobs for SCABS and youll be lucky to make enough money to buy food with and you sure wont be buying much else that aint made in china!

David, This cracked me up and was so cathartic. Although how about 8 long years of "dumps." I will think on it, as I hear about those bottom feeders trying to spin one more time.
I just heard "Pap" on Air America talking about when Clinton gave the Repubs a pass in terms of no accountability on "Iran contra" ... and that protected Rumsfeld, Cheney, baby Bush, and the rest of Bushco for the future to wreak exponentially more havoc, literal death and destruction. Will Obama walk the same delicate NAIVE walk for political bipartisanship? Another cartoon image, Lucy and the football. C'mon Charlie Brown.. here's the football... one more set up?
Also, people bad mouth Bush now, but what about those who voted him in twice or even once? Is being Republican "never having to say you are sorry"? Like being a pundit. So you were wrong and colluded by your "expert stances" in the deaths of thousands of Americans and almost a million Iraqi, by supporting the misuse and exploitation and enhancement of the US war machine ... so you are still given a national media platform to speculate and seduce from with your still unustified awesome confidence?
I just read The Bush Tragedy. How Bush's Oedipal complex was Pavlovianly easy to use, just push those buttons about Bush and his daddy, for Cheney and Rove to fulfill their crazed and wilful agendas.
I guess those in denial or sociopathic are still "functional" and the rest of us are paralyzed by national and economic PTSD.

The only thing that Obama can do different from Bush would be to cut spending. This means cut government programs. Bush funded just about every government program in a way that would make the most liberal person green with envy. Bush's greatest legacy will be the Iraq war which will eventually produce a much needed ally in the middle east.
Are you serious? Where have you been for the past 8 years? Under a rock? Bush has NOT funded every government program. He has cut them to near death! Just look how he has vetoed the children's health program. And as for the Iraq war, that has and will continue to create more terrorists!
