Morality and high horses do not work with an administration that is the most corrupt one this country has seen since Useless Grant.
Yeah.
This doesn't even get into subsidies for oil companies, an energy policy created behind closed doors by the Enron dip****s, disgusting croneyism--specifically placing a grossly unqualified, resume-lying, friend of his college roommate in the spot of Director of FEMA only to watch said idiot ignore a hurricane exercise conducted the previous year, send cute emails back and forth to his staff while New Orleans decended into Hell, not take control of a situation, and sat on his hands when he wasn't ringing them back and forth while a major US city was demolished and people DIED because the government agency under his control did not administer relief soon enough, the attempted appointment of Myers as a Supreme Court judge, the lack of any sort of accomplishment in either term, the lack of exit plan from Iraq, the lack of exit plan from Afghanastan, the exit from international treaties, the runaway spending that has not been checked in, the open borders he keeps ripping open, the outsourcing, the No Child Left Behind Act which does more to derail educational focus, the USAPatriot Act, the sanctioning of torture, the ignoring of the Geneva Convention, allowing 9/11 to happen because they ignored memos with titles like "Al Qaeda training pilots" and "bin Laden to use planes in attacks," the silent dismanteling of the essential bureocracies in the Federal Government, the whoring out of the FCC and FDA, a declining job market that is constantly losing good positions and shifting over to a society where everyone works in a store or sells insurance to the people that work in the stores, and the 2000+ lives lost in combat in the Middle East. |
You have some good points there, but two things struck me as downright screwy.
1. Clinton never got harassed because he took his pants down, he got harassed because he
lied under oath.
2. I disagree with almost all war(the sole exception is World War II). The war in Iraq has been costly to the US, however I think there has been more accomplished in Iraq than there was in South Vietnam, wouldn't you say?
As I said before, I don't agree with everthing Bush has done. However, I think that being the president of the most powerful nation in the world would be no small task. Add that to the fact that half of his countrymen were against him from the start and what do you have?
It just goes to show that ya can't please
everyone.
