What Bush DID NOT accomplish in his 3 1/2 years. His List of Failings....
The Pubs always use talking points to convince us of what he DID for these past 3 1/2 years.... we know its all Spin... its a distraction from his failings...

But what of What HE DIDN'T DO? What are some of the things that have, or should have, priority?

1. Global Warming.... Nada concern, nada reaction, nada proactive programs

2. Homelessness/poverty...nada, nada, nada, nai, zilch, zero.

3. Sustainability/Environment/Future Planning.... Big Zero... In fact, going backward as he repeals rules and regs protecting the Forests/Land/Resources.

4. Safety for Americans....rejected Rudman/Hart Report, now look. We got Fear from Terrorists on our minds...Terror Alerts by the dozen...He did not Plan to make us safer, he went the opposite way, made it more dangerous for Americas here and abroad.. cutting down tourism/ commerce...in effect cutting jobs and trade....

5. Make America look good. Instead he makes America look like shit..
what with the torture thing, the meddling of another Nation, etc etc.

6. He Supposed to make America Wealthier... instead, he caused more debt load for us and our grandkids...We have become much poorer under this Fraud.

7. He failed to make more friends for our Nation, instead we got Freedom Toast and Freedom Rice. Poor relations with other Nations brings about less trade... less trade, less jobs.

8. He was supposed to create a lot more jobs than this measely 1.5 million in the past year. In fact, we lost 3 million jobs and factored in with the "gain"...we have a net loss of 1.5 million compared to 3 1/2 years ago. This man is a loser.

and I am sure people can add to this Failure List....

4. I am still waiting to see him brag about all of his accomplishments
on his TeeVee ads. So far his ads only have pictures of Kerry or actors pretending to be firemen at ground zero.

7. Squandered sympathy and goodwill
It's been said by dozens of people before me, but I'll repeat it: Bush squandered the outpouring of goodwill and sympathy the American people received in the wake of the attacks of September 11th. Remember the French newspaper with the headline, "Nous sommes tous Americains."("We are all Americans")

Now Bush's "accomplishment" is getting the British and the Irish to agree -- on demonstrating against him when he darkens their doors.

13. He failed to show up for work half the time thank Gawd!
He failed to stop the stealing Halliburton and ENRON are in to! He failed to ride his bike, pony and scooter, but he rides the hell out of our Jet and the Gravy Train! He failed to notice that the country has gone straight to HELL in a hand basket! He failed to even eat right! He failed to impress me! The only thing he did good, was Fail and he is a self made expert on that!

14. Thank God he failed to show up for work half the time. Just imagine the
DAMAGE to the Nation had he showed up full time... 2X More Damage.

He failed to control the Pretzel, the Segway, the Bike, the NeoCons (who control him instead)......and in negotiations with the Europeans... France and Germany....specifically.

You are right, he is an expert in Failing...like he has a PHD Degree in Advanced Failing 776.
