The facade of a pretty rotten democracy
it's funny to hear W saying that the greatest thing about 'our nation' is the 'collective wisdom of the average citizen', after trying for 7 years to scare the bejesus out of the average citizen and now largely failing, the GOP has finally decided that they should pander to the masses in a sycophantic but belated recognition of the public's due.
These words will not have come from Bush's heart, and certainly not from his vacuous head, but they will have been market tested by some 'experts' and quite possibly a focus group.
"This will play well George, keep a straight face when you say it, try to avoid that smirk"
To me after much research and much reading, I unhappily conclude that the Bush regime in particular and the GOP in general are nothing more and nothing less than an international crime syndicate. In a true democracy, at least Cheney but almost definitely Bush, would be in front of a jury several years ago, and quite possibly a firing squad.
It saddens me that the only justice he will experience is 'rejection' through the wisdom of the average citizen, but even then the GOP has tried mighty hard to deny the average citizen in places where it matters, their right to vote
What an unspeakable hypocrite W is, and what a truly supurating system he has finally bequeathed to the world.
The harm created in the last 7 years will take generations to unmake, nothing as monstrous as the Bush regime can just dissolve away without toxic consequences, if not the least of those, a near total inability to speak truth to power or to hold the 'elected' tyrant and his malevolent cabal to account.

Iran *suspended* its
nuclear program. Not "abandon." I'm not convinced that Iran is the danger some say it is, but all they did was *turn off* the machines they used to make the uranium. They didn't tear them down and sell them as scrap metal.

"...We believe that the most reliable guide for our country is the collective wisdom of ordinary citizens."
And they don't get much ordinarier than you Bushie Boy.

Justice?
For the man who had the wisdom to invade and occupy Iraq, a President McCain would certainly have a Supreme Court appointment available for President Bush at the first vacancy.
And it wouldn't be the first time a former Republican President has served on the Supreme Court. President William Taft later went on to become a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Let history recall the pathology of the Bush presidency
The man just can't stop lying, so one has to ask if the problem is because he believes we are naive enough to believe him, or if he believes himself. Obviously he doesn't have a strong back ground in logic because his math is completely faulty. I remember learning in elementary algebra that multiplying two negatives does equal a possitive, but that can't transfer over to foreign policy. We've all examined the prewar rhetoric and know that Bin Ladin and Iraq were not related until after we invaded. Then once again his weak economic skills (or blatant deception skills) became apparent as he suggested that the country is on track to have a balanced budget in 2012. Perhaps this is a clever ploy to set up the next DEMOCRATIC president for the blame for the huge debt brought on by the war, but taken with everything else it just looks like GW has completely lost grip with reality. Perhaps this is a twist on the Regan "I can't recall" strategy that saved him from contragate. Clearly, however, when he says "we believe the most reliable guide for our country is the collective wisdom of our citizens" the man is simply lying. Worse than that though is the standing ovation he gets from the whole congress. The emperor has no clothes, but someone should speak up about it because we are all shamed by it.

Trust the people
"So long as we continue to trust the people, our nation will prosper, our liberty will be secure and the state of our union will remain strong." -G Bush
From what I perceive of the Bush administration, it does not trust the people. Thus our nation will not prosper, our liberty will not be secure, and our union will not remain strong.
Bush’s speech writers finally got something right, defining the feeling of the country as a whole, though in a convoluted manner.

A place in hell
The mere continuing existence of George W. (spit) Bush is nearly enough to make me wish I believed in the existence of hell.

The good news was...
He didn't promise that if we saddled a donkey, a pony, a camel, or ride in a carnival-haven going westward..
O, and wear a warm wool coat made from slaughtered buffaloed/ Alpaca...(Or was I dozed then when he said that 3 x's?)
The "decider" did not tell Amercuns to use ingenuity and chop down trees, and build a covered pig drawn wood wagon. Did he ask us to form a 501c-3 charitable organization and Take Friends, mistresses, mom and dad, and GO West, and say bye god?
O, prey on the posterity unborn, next generation? huh. a nice guy.
He did Not read a teleprompter that ordered us to make the luxury trip across the desert so we'd find black-oil-nuggets and be filthy rich.
He did not send us to NYC's harbor to rent an expensive Swan paddle boat for two.
No forget to take a hen flock to put on the cruise lap around the continent.
I liked best the part where he said, "Turn around, shake a fist, and then cold-cock in the belly and nose at least three people sitting in close proximately bored near death and stink to the 'high heaves' around you. Sucker punch real hard before you are reseated."
Wow.
Who were the two behind GWB?
He sure clobbered those two.

Into the wind
I was amazed at how visceral my reaction was to the President. I couldn't watch him, so strong was the revulsion inside me. I imagine this is the reaction that some have to other politicians, but for me, this is the president that I see as a real enemy to freedom and to this country. Nonetheless, after seven of these things, I am sick of my rants and the rants of others. Large money has bought this country and we are powerless to stop it. We're all just p#ssing in the wind.
