I know, right??
All his administration ever did was win his election by judgement in his brother's home state, install his election team as his cabinet, take a month-long vacation 5 months into his presidency, ignore terror intelligence leading to 9/11, incorrectly send us into Iraq looking for WMD's, preside over the exodus of the manufacturing sector, ignore troop deficiencies in Afghanistan and instead send double the amount to Iraq, disclosed the Iraq Invasion plan months before it happened, forget to secure Iraqi munitions dumps, cover up friendly-fire incidents in Afghanistan, hire Dick Cheney's "former" company to rebuild Iraq without the benefit of the bidding process, create the biggest deficit in history out of a surplus left him by the evil Mr. Clinton, grow the government larger than ever, cover up a shooting so it wouldn't hit the Sunday news shows, out a CIA agent over her whistle-blowing regarding yellowcake that didn't ever exist, suspend habeus corpus, use the GOP e-mail system instead of the White House system so it wouldn't be traceable, forget to send troops to New Orleans for Katrina then buy thousands of toxic trailers that sit empty still (heckuva job!), invent something called "swift-boating" whereby someone is smeared by unrelated people who seem above reproach, attempt to privatize Social Security, give tax breaks to Big Oil while America's economy failed, declare Mission Accomplished in Iraq, use talk-radio to rally the farthest reaches of the right-wing into believing they are the majority, discourage stem-cell research on phony moral grounds so the pharmaceutical industry could continue making drugs instead, preside over exponential growth in pharmacols while outlawing Canadian drugs that are cheaper, favor the rich with tax cuts while the middle class shrank, take credit for any lull in Iraq violence and ignore bodycounts (4100+), make it illegal to photograph flag-draped soldiers' coffins to minimize their negative impact, attempt to grant illegal aliens amnesty because of the cheap labor, told us to duct-tape our windows in case of bio-attacks, claim executive priviledge more than any other admin, expand the powers of the Vice President far beyond any other admin, commute the sentence of the fall-guy in the CIA-outing incident, poisoned the entire GOP in the last election... shit, I'm getting tired of typing this.
When you add it all up like that, it just says something about the people who want to ignore it all and pretend they chose the right guys for the job. You have to wonder how far they would have let it go, and where it would have taken us in another Neocon administration. You have to mull over what is in them that makes them so steadfastly believe in failure. I think it's mostly that people like Rush present the world so simply: we are good, they are not. Whatever we do is right, whatever they do is wrong. It makes the world so much easier to think about, not having to see more than one side.---->JMS
