Lets look at the bright side.
-kicked ben laden, and made his job all the harder.
-destroyed husseins regime, thus making iraquis happy andremoved one mre terrorist.
Invading soverighn country...hah! If hitler was attacked in 1938, it was also invading sovereign country? Hussein paid for suisiders in israel. he was a terrorist and he is a terrorist. Mass graves they do exist you know.
-USA the only country except israel that fights the global terror in reality, and not says-hey, terrorists have rights too.

i wonder who exactly can find ben laden. Al gore? Clinton? Since no one can i do not view it as his failure. And he will be caught someday.
In economy bush is a failure, i agree. But he has some bright sides in his cadency as well.
I do not want to start reciting clintons crimes. All this cosovo-monika buisness is criminal activity. A lot of people died so bill could point attention of the public to some other problem rather than monika.
Clinton should go to jail.

Hmmmmm,

The guy is,was and has become (through stocktrading during 9-11) filthy rich. I wonder why we can't find him in an Afghanistan cave or at least somewhere in Iraq.
But then again bombing the Caymans or Switzerland would probably be even less well received by the global community.

Not jumping to Clintons defence in anyway... just wondering about one thing... how is getting your "splooch" on a blue dress even comparable to stealing presidental election, starting a global war, putting worlds leading nation economy into ruin, making the United Nations obsolete... and well just look at the list above...

I just don't get it... but to me it is kind of like saying the guy who jaywalked should go to jail instead of a rapist...

That "resume" is nothing more than the dems wishful thinking. Especially those things that deal with the economy. Bush inherited a bad economy from his predecessor, Bill Clinton. And contrary to poipular belief, you cannot cause the economy to improve overnight. It's not like switching on a light. It takes time.

Hey, Desuma, Long time no talk. I generally liked this article/rant a lot. However, the list is fine without misrepresenting things. Let's take a few.

Quote:

· Bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land
using taxpayer money. Biggest move: Traded Sammy Sosa to the Chicago White
Sox.

Finicky inaccuracy? I'm not baseball buff, but did Sosa go to the Sox before the Cubs or did he come straight from the Rangers to the Cubs?

Quote:

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR:
· Changed pollution laws for power and oil companies and made Texas the most
polluted state in the Union.

Texas has always been in the top 5 for pollution.

Quote:

· Became President after losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes, with
the help of my father's appointments to the Supreme Court.

[img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Yep.

My biggest problems with him. Very nice list.

Quote:

· After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over
the worst security failure in US history.

Yes, PRESIDED. Presided over something lingering from other presidencies or altogether unimaginable anyway. Like Gulliani, he "presided" -- and well, for a while.

Quote:

· Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any President in US history.

Actually, Clinton did this. By limiting unemployment benefits to 6mos./1yr. Hey -- it is supposed to be a *temporary* thing, you know? Anyway, Bush actually backtracked and, because he screwed the economy, had to undo Clinton's changes and extend these benefits back out. So, the Democrat Clinton reformed wellfare in the needed hardass way, and the Republican bleeding heart Bush spent to much taxes and had to undo it all. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] I feel like I'm living in Opposites Land. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Anyway, this statement is a misrepresentation. And, as such, it detracts from the witiness of the overall piece.

Quote:

· Signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any
President in US history.

Laws and executive orders don't and can't amend the constitution. They may violate it or ignore it, but they can't amend it. *Bzzzzzt* Wrong again.

Quote:

· Presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use
the national reserves as past Presidents have.

BS. If you adjust for inflation, gas has steadily decreased in price for 20 years or more. And, keep those national reserves. Let's burn other people's natural resources before we use ours.

Quote:

· Set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take
to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for
protest against any person in the history of mankind.

I can't believe the person who wrote this would compare the world-wide war protests -- about which very few of us even gave a damn -- with Alabama Civil Rights marches, Kent State, or marches on Washington during Vietnam. Don't insult my intelligence.

Quote:

· Dissolved more international treaties than any President in US history.

Disolved? Pfffft. Again, ignored maybe, but not dissolved.

Quote:

· Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history.
(The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).

Yeah, Condi just reeks of old money. This chick worked her butt off to become a success, even during the days when the deck was stacked against her (rather than *for* her, as they now would be) as a woman and a black American. What poor taste to make this comment.

Quote:

· First President in US history to order a US attack and military occupation
of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community.

I get the point the author is trying to make, but it's poorly stated. Japan was a sovereign nation and we attacked it. So was Germany.

Quote:

· Created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States.

Not really worth comment. DHS is likely more of a good thing than a bad thing, and didn't *create* much new, but rather reorganized things. It's where the Coast Guard belongs, as a for instance.

Quote:

RECORD AND REFERENCES:
· Have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available).
· Was AWOL from National Guard and deserted the military during a time of war.
· Refused to take drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.
· All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas have been spirited away to my father's library, sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

Well, yeah, he does sound kinda like Lenin and Stalin and Kruchev in that way. Perhaps Russia should send us a copy of Perestroika so we can see that the whole thing Gorby was imitating about the US was its openness of information. Bush is certainly taking that away.

But, all in all, these liberal sputterings could be more even-tempered and garner more respect. From me, at least.

Right. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] What every president who failed at the economy has said. ;) Clinton inherited a bad economy. ;)

<font color=orange>The article left out something! That is he is likely to first President to get re-elected to office after having lost the popular vote, but winning the Electral College in the first election. Cause that's whats going to happen unless the Dems pull their heads out of their butts and get a real Candidate! Could that be why they call them DEMS, cause they got their heads where they don't belong? :D
