CNN: "With one year to go, Bush's legacy a mixed bag" {mixed bag???!!!}
Edited on Mon Dec-24-07 05:56 PM by No DUplicitous DUpe
With one year to go, Bush's legacy a mixed bag
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/23/bush.legacy/

(Maybe a mixed bag of horse and dog sh*t)

<snip>
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It's the best of times, it's the worst of times -- a tale of two legacies as President Bush prepares to ring in the final year of his presidency.

President Bush leaves the White House on Friday to spend the Christmas holiday at Camp David, Maryland.

Sitting in the front row for Bush's final press conference of 2007 on Thursday, I was struck by how it's a mixed bag for the president on three key issues -- his relationship with the Democratic Congress, the state of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the health of the U.S. economy.

How Bush handles those three issues in 2008 will go a long way toward figuring out his legacy in 2009 and beyond.

His relationship with Democrats on Capitol Hill is important because it will hold the key to how Bush's domestic agenda fares in his final year.
<snip>

edited to add...Happy Holiday & Merry Christmas!

11. the one and only accomplishment of any kind
for this administration is tax cuts for cronies. THAT legacy will set well with the top 0.5% of posterity, I guess.

18. "Mixed Bag"...
Of what? Outright failures and continuing failures?

bush is the anti-Midas...only person on earth that can turn anything he touches, (or thinks about), into an incredible failure!

Bad enough he ruined everything he came in contact with in private life, but after destroying a state, he destroyed the nation!

Never before in the history of this nation have we ever had someone in the highest position of the land, that has done so much damage. Buchanan, who set up the country for the Civil War did better than this jerk; Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge together, didn't do near as much for the corporatists than this clown; Andrew Johnson, an utter failure, looks like a positive genius next to bush.

I've had my share of failures in life, but this is just something that goes beyond the pale. If GHWB and Babs are proud of this bum, they need serious psychological help!

I'm just hoping this insane sack of dogcrap doesn't blow up the world before he slithers back under that rock in TX.

28. What...was he good for plastic turkey sales or something?
Because otherwise...it's not really all that mixed:

"three key issues"

his relationship with the Democratic Congress -> it sucks
the state of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -> it sucks even more
and the health of the U.S. economy -> it sucks beyond belief
