Bush is blamed for a lot of things outside of his control....

[Wetzelbill]

Like 9/11 and the financial crisis, for example.

I actually read that one on a myspace blog yesterday.

Yeah and Bush didn't create Hurricane Katrina either, he just rode his bike while a city drowned. But really, he's not to blame for the his disastrous 8 years in office, it was all out of his control. :eyes:

1. It's one of the latest talking points from the right.....

I've heard it from several sources.

[lunatica]

2. What disastrous years?

He and Laura are telling us the war was good. Taking Saddam out was good. Liberating the Iraqis was good. The women in Afghanistan are free so how can anyone not think that's good. There have been no attacks on our soil is good. Fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here is good. More drilling for oil is good for the economy. We don't torture and that's good. God talks to Bush and we're ungodly if we don't think that's good.

Bush is proud of his legacy and why shouldn't he be? Look how good it is.

:sarcasm:

3. i guess they think it was all part of gods big plan

[sufrommich]

5. The "let go and let God" style of leadership. nt

[lunatica]

7. It's the God agrees with everything I do. I know because he tells me so...

Ya betcha, and also dontcha know there.

9. its gonna happen and we cant change it

scary folks

6. Interestingly...it is never the initial event, rather, it is the response

to that event that is of concern.

History is filled w/examples of some really stupid responses to an event. The Confederacy seceding from the Union because Lincoln was elected; Hoover's belated response to the Great Depression; Congress' failure to acknowledge the League of Nations; etc.

Point is, bush's responses to everything have been childish, not thought out and exceptionally lame. He does not have one single thing he can be "proud" of...the reverse Midas touch, everything he comes into contact with, turns to shit, w/o exception. The "man" is a complete disaster.

8. Oh yeah, and he had nothing to do w/the Iraq war too, right? :^)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Of course it was outside of his control

It was all Clinton's fault (somehow):eyes:

[BuyingThyme]

11. He hasn't let us down since

the last time he let us down.

That's a record to stand on.

[opihimoimoi]

12. Bull shit...he had the warning re 9/11 and didn't warn any of US did he?

He went golfing

He went to a birthday party while peeps drowned in New Orleans

He Lied to us

He did everything wrong to harm our Nation...nothing he did was right...all was failures and cover ups

Even now he wants to burrow some of his cronies into high positions so they cannot be fired...all the while knowing they are ill suited for the positions..

The man should be hung by his Balls

15. I was headed to the bottom of this thread to say exactly that

I worked in downtown DC September 11, 2001. The whole city shut down after the bombing of the Pentagon, even the metro. No one was allowed to enter the city for any reason, so if one was there and had ridden the metro in, he or she could not call a relative to come in and take them home. I watched the Pentagon burn on a TV vendor's television screen. Of foreign nationality, he looked at me and told me it was the White House burning. No, I said, that is not the White House. It is the Pentagon. I knew immediately George Bush* had left town and had not even given those of us left behind as much as a "heads up."

He planted his posterior in the State of Florida where his brother Jeb could cover his flank. I have never forgiven him for not reading that NIE, but I feel sure someone must have briefed him on it and told him, in his vernacular, to get the hell of Dodge.

This would have never happened under a President Gore's watch.

17. The revisionists peek out with their version of things and attempt to distort real History

They Dare to...even while knowing the FACTS say different...

WHO are these people?

[Samantha]

19. About eight months after the stolen 2000 election

I heard the first historical rendering of the "election" of George Bush* was finished. Omitted: the Florida recount and the Supreme Court decision. I cannot tell you how angry I became when I heard this on the cable news.

I repeat your question: WHO are these people?

I am so thankful there are places like liberal websites and authors like Bugliosi who penned the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the ugly truth about how Bush* came to occupy the Oval Office.

13. All of this was out of his control!

However, 911 was Clinton's fault and the financial crisis is Obama's fault. I've heard that plenty of times.

[stillcool]

14. I remember when they first ...

broke into the White House. They went in like robbers in the middle of the night, and immediately started stealing everything that wasn't nailed down. Like any minute they might get caught. They're leaving behind nothing but a frigging crime scene.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Apparently, eating pretzels is outside of his control too

As is his half-assed governing.

No wait, he does the half-assed governing part well.

[bridgit]

18. wurd!

[yurbud]

20. things outside of his control: reading, writing, and wiping his own ass.

[Zynx]

22. Crises are opportunities for greatness. He failed to do so.

Every crisis he was presented with he flubbed.

[yardwork]

23. Far less powerful than The Clenis, in that case. Bush must be a wimp.
