Oh lord... I'll make a list and post it tomorrow. It's that numerous. He's about as backward fiscally as a person could be. We are going in the wrong direction...at the wrong time.
1. The way he handled Katrina was to declare LA a disaster area the day before the hurricane hit, and opened up a shitload of emergency funding... which is all the president CAN do. You see... there is this annoying little act, called the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the powers of the federal government to use military to... do stuff with civilians. Unless a few circumstances are met, the white house cannot send in military for any reason. One of those sets of conditions is in a disaster area, local government can request military assistance.WOW.. You talk but never show anything...heres a quick example
1. The way he handle Katrina
2. Dumb war in Iraq
3. Leaving Afganistan
4. Letting Cheny run the office
5. Trading Sammy Sosa...WTF
6. Just seemed plain dumb
Now thats my quick list

Only problem is, they didn't. They asked for money, but refused, despite very strong recommendation from the president and congress, to allow the military to come in for another 5 days.
Fault him for nominating Brown to direct FEMA... but not for what occurred. He did everything he could.
2. President's do not send us to war. Congress does... and did. Presidents also do not bring us back. Congress does, and hasn't.
3. We are in Afghanistan.
4. He didn't.
5. I have no argument.
6. Dumb enough to graduate from Harvard and be elected to the most powerful office in the world... twice. People act like Harvard is a vacation destination for rich kids. His grades, and IQ was higher than John Kerry's btw.
The man had many faults, and was not exactly a good guy... but these you have listed are not his faults... with the exception of Sosa.
Dude you said socialism..I said explain it either you can or can't.....somebody hand this dude a trophy
apparently God stopped making brains & educations after londonfog.
supreme know-it-allskiss-ass
2. He did not lie to Congress about WMD's. They had the same intelligence that he did. There was a question of credibility with regards to the Iraqi's attempt to acquire yellow cake from Nigeria... a question from British intel. They had that too. There was still 500 metric tons of yellow cake there which we JUST got out this year. Saddam's OWN people were telling him that the programs were further along than they were. When we arrived there were some 300 tons of Castor Beans which had gotten there just before us. There is still 400 tons of anthrax missing, which had been cataloged by the UN. Everyone came to the same conclusion... the entire worlds intelligence agencies were in agreement... and the responsibility of war is in the hands of congress for a reason. No one man can or should be able to send us to war......
Where do I start
1.. Good we agree with Sosa
2..Are you really telling me that Bush did not send us to war.. He lied to Congress about WMD... did we ever find them...Hell we where buddy buddy with Iraq in the 80's ...we might have sold them to them..ask Donald..
3..Bush should have stayed focus on Afgan fully...you dont pull troops to fight another war when you have yet to close the first..unless you are provoke..did Iraq provoke us????
4.As far as Harvard...He can thank his Granpa and daddy for that....
ok ok I will give you the fact that he did have a high IQ and he flew a plan that was one of the hardest to fly at that time.....but God the man had know business or common sense2.

3. Iraq had weekly anti-america rallies where they promised to destroy us once their weapons were complete. I would call that provocation.
4. He can thank them for getting in. His grades were his grades. Much more rich and powerful kids flunk out of Harvard.

Dude Iraq was a wasted war not needed...Lost one good friend there and that was one too many, so save that crap about yellow cake ( just ate some today with chocolate icing )...
You are about the only Bush supporter left..even he just went into hiding
Really? People are now buying cars they don't want? Damn Obama must be the fricken master of the universe to actually make people buy cars they do not want.That's exactly right. Through the "Clunker" program, Obama is actually paying people to buy cars they don't want, or otherwise wouldn't buy. And this bullshit is being hailed as an astounding success by our liege lords in Washington.
