Comments on: The Legacy George Bush Will Leave

CBS Evening News: Historians Review The 43rd Presidency As His Terms Wind Down

[ubrew12]

Article: "He went to war in a deliberately cavalier way," O''Hanlon said. "But let''s also be fair. Iraq now seems to be a quasi-functioning Democracy..."

The $1-3 trillion dollar cost of the Iraq War hasn''t been fully experienced by the American people yet. When that bill comes due, we''ll all remember that one of the jobs of our President is also to maintain a quasi-functioning democracy in America, not just the Middle East.

Bush... worst ever.

[ubrew12]

Article: " "history will be unkind to this man." Historian Thurber."

That''s putting it lightly. You don''t double the national debt (to stimulate the economy) and end up with a worse economy unless you''re uniquely worth condemning. But, internationally, the invasion of Iraq will go down as one of the all time blunders in HISTORY. If you want to feel the effect this has had on the loss of good-will toward Americans internationally, examine the bluster coming out of Russia right now. People are wickedly ''p*ssed'' at the U.S., and that will continue for some time.

Yes, he''s a disaster. I would say the worst in history, hands down. Thurber was being polite.

'' .. relatively few trespass or steal even for necesity, relatively many use drugs, relatively few keep an eye on any particular property, relatively many keep an eye on any particular drug uset, dope fiends are running circles around governments and neighborhood zealots despite all the war on drugs, in many ways because of the war on drugs, and to such an extent that if even a small number of dopeheads were into executing and or jailing governments and zealots: then the governments and zealots would all be dead or in hell ..

For real, what was George W. Bush thinking?
1. Put himself and his family under the tightest scrutiny of any position in the history of the world to serve his country
2. Refused to waver in decisions and positions that he''s held
3. Looked out for good of someone other than HIMSELF in going to Iraq unlike the majority of society today, teaching children that doing the right thing isn''t always easy or fun (God forbid).

So basically, you can sit there all day and point out every mistake that the man has made in the past 8 years (and he has made them), yet remember that he has faced more difficult situations and challenges unparalleled by any other world leader in THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Life is always how you look at it; you can point out every flaw in the man, but we could also put every single person in this country on that platform and see how many would be able to stand for eight years Not many. As a country it is not our job to sit back and take potshots at the man.

There are thousands of people in Iraq who are thanking God that someone had the guts to stand up and risk his own reputation so that they could have breath free air and raise their children in freedom. Those people will remember him. I think that George W. Bush will take that trade any day of the week. Its time to wake up, and realize how blessed we have been the past few years. President Bush, if this ever finds your eyes, let me see it, even if some others won''t: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Bush is the greatest failure in American history. A huge embarrassment, a blot on our common sense and - yes, even on our intelligence as a country.

At this time next year he''ll be defending himself at the Hague.

[dnsallday]

Bush has been an outstanding success. The policies that he has put in place, the damage and negligence that has happened to our country. The burden of supporting the country being put on the backs of the working and middle class.
The wealthy are getting much,much wealthier in this administration. Corporations are bringing in record breaking profits and yet only about 20% of them are paying any taxes at all. Yes, this was the plan and it has been a success.

Just take a look at the response Bush will get when his video is played at the convention tonight. McCain''s supporters will be ecstatic.
Of course McCain knows better than to let on that his party is happy with the direction of the country because in order to get elected he has to pretend that he would do things differently.

That is why they kept Bush away from speaking live and why they wouldn''t even put the video on at prime time. Hoping nobody will see how pleased these people are with the Bush Presidency. And hoping nobody will understand that these supporters are thrilled at the idea of 4 more years of the same.

[lewiston14]

Bush has one more big card he can play and you better hope he does not. The national emergency card. Everything stops and he is the man once again

[lewiston14]

Do you think Bush even wanted to go to that convention? If you do your wrong. 9:00 im his PJ''s fast asleep. That is public information. Im sure Crawford had many fireplaces he can have his staff load on some extra logs all night long. How does it feel to be a grunt?

[lewiston14]

Do you think Im worried about what people think of me after im dead? I dont even even worry about it now. I wont be there to see or hear it.

[g-gfather]

He has dishonored the United States and the office
of president. Great-grandfather

[lewiston14]

Why worry about something that is allready history. He will live out his years in Texas and just pass along as we all do except he wont be eating dog food. Do you really think he cares? Nope to stuck up to play that game. He nailed you to the cross and gets to see you burn laughing all the way to the bank.

[shouterguy]

We already know what sort of mess Bush will leave.

The operative word is...

LEAVE.

The Legacy George Bush Will Leave
**************************************

The shining example of who NOT to elect to the presidency, and I guess that''s something.

[whitemale08]

What legacy?

BUSH FAILED AT 9/11

BUSH LIED US INTO WAR IN IRAQ AND BOGGED DOWN THE TROOPS ON THE WRONG BATTLEFIELD.

BUSH FAILED TO RESPOND FOR FOUR DAYS AT KATRINA.

BUSH FAILED THE ECONOMY

BUSH''S LEGACY IS OF FAILURE AND NOTHING ELSE!!!

[boatdocster]

Bush need not worry about his legacy. His actions (or lack of actions) have writen a fine volume:

W- WORST EVER!
