To the Editor:

Thomas L. Friedman ("George Bush's Third Term," column, Nov. 23) writes that President Bush "still has time to be a bridge to the future," adding:

"If he doesn't, the resources he will have squandered and the size of the problems he will have ignored will put him in the running for one of our worst presidents ever."

The catastrophic developments that Mr. Friedman identifies as having taken place under President Bush - a stupefying national debt, an insane war of choice against the wrong enemy, preposterous tax cuts for the rich paid for by the suffering of the needy - have already proved him to be the worst president in our nation's history.

You say it all in a nutshell.

3. This sounds nasty but I hope Florence Schmieg loses her job very soon

(If she has one, of course...) Then she can find out how fantastic Bush's economic policy is doing.

4. A parallel universe, without a doubt. One that does not know truth.

"We now have 50 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan with a chance for freedom; democracy inching forward in the Middle East; hope in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; 5 percent unemployment; a 3.8 percent rise in the gross domestic product; several million jobs created; minority achievement gap narrowing; two Supreme Court justices and counting. A great president!"

7. too funny

debating with * supporters is like pointing at something to a dog.
they look at your finger and cannot understand that you are trying to get them to look at something for their own benefit.

6. Friedman is a joke

I think it's absolutely effing hilarious that a guy by the name of "Chatham H. Forbes, Sr." thinks that bush could redeem his presidency by dumping his team. This ludicrous idea, floated by Thomas Friedman, is what the letter writers are responding to and it is hopelessly naive.

This is just further proof that Friedman is unworthy of a position as a columnist at a major U.S. newspaper.
