The burning Bush...

He's going down in flames.

Bush has realized he's had one of the worst presidencies... ever. He's admitted to many of his failures in an ABC interview (which you can read here). I don't think he has much ground to defend himself on. His wife feels differently. But come on. Really? She really thinks he's made a difference for good in the world? I think Dora the Explorer has improved more lives in the past four years than George W Bush.

Listen, I don't know the dude. I'll lay it out there and say that Dick Cheney is probably as evil as I think he is. Though I have my inklings about Bush, its hard to tell. I don't believe a word he says. I think he's allowed big business to run our country. I think he started a war for profit and has let it get totally out of hand. I think he's let spending get way out of hand and has greatly handicapped our nation by putting us so far in the red. I think he's the worst president this nation has seen.

You can make up your own mind. I won't miss him. January 20th can't come quick enough. Reading all these articles and interviews with Bush and his counterparts lately has kept me entertained but unable to understand how anyone can still support the dude.

...I went on a crazy tirade sitting with the family at a restaurant last night about how half the administration has openly violated the constitution and ought to be tried for treason.

I honestly believe that Mr. Bush is one of the least damaging people from his own administration(s).

I'd go Cheney, Ashcroft, Gonzalez, Rumsfeld, Paulson, Walters, then Bush...

I certainly see where you're coming from, and am inclined to agree with the listing.

My problem with Bush is that he is supposed to be THE leader. You know? And he's just as responsible because he keeps perpetuating these lies and keeps feeding this garbage to the media for all of America and expects us to believe it! Bush really thinks we're all so stupid that we believe the things he and his administration keep putting out there in press releases and news conferences and interviews. That's what irks me as much as anything. I don't know how involved he is in a lot of these horrible decisions that keep being made on his behalf, but the fact that he lets it happen says enough to me.

I think Dick Cheney is a modern day Joseph Stalin. He's a terrible, evil man that has ordered and allowed all types of atrocities to be committed in the name of America and "freedom." It literally makes me sick.

As far as the constitutional violations that have been committed: I don't know what to say about it. I mean, what do you do when the political leaders of your nation are making decisions that obviously violate our constitutional rights and yet have convinced half of America that they are doing it for the public's good? How do you challenge the elected leadership of the nation when they are obviously in the wrong? This administration has made so many people rich off the war. Big business and our government are in bed together. You can't attack one without attacking the other...

So what do you do? Literally... I mean, what can we do? (Besides write angry blogs about it.) Does anyone else have any input?

Not enough people want any say in it, I'm afraid.

Our leaders have come to rely wholly on constituent complacency. Simply put, I just don't think people give enough of a shit about what's going on anymore...

America fell for the old "Look over there!" trick.

JD said...

I don't get it.

People whine and complain and just don't do anything about their situation.

We, the American people, somehow forgot along the way that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. If we aren't happy, its our faults. We need to do something about this awful administration and its bad decisions. We need to do something about the wasteful spending of our leaders. We... together.

I wish more people had the passion...

Gosh, I wish more people simply gave a damn...

You understand that Bush honestly didnt have all that much power. The house and the senate control almost everything. All he does is try to get the american people behind what he was doing. So if you would consider trying someone for treason you would have to do it to everyone who ever voted to approve the things there were doing. Because everything has to be approved

JD said...

Okay--so you're proposing that we try the entire federal government for treason?

Come on. Seriously?

I mean, there's probably two or three who are decent elected officials.
