Hands-off presidency hurts
Hopefully we all realize now

Christ what a bunch of weasels
I think history, along with the well-earned "Worst Ever" title, will consider this the "Do-Less-Than-Nothing" administration. After slow-to-no responses for basically every issue of concern that's arisen in the past 7 years (save tax cuts and feeding the war machine), one really had to wonder: gross negligence and incompetence, or part of a carefully-orchestrated effort undermine the credibility and efficacy of the US Federal government, a la Norquist-style? I think the truth is somewhere in between, with some parties actively interested in subverting the authority of the government, while (most) others accomplish the job by, well, simply by being themselves, so to speak. For the "conservative" movement of today, their failures are as incoherent as their policies.

The MBA President...
He listened to his advisors on the economy.
He listened to his advisors on Iraq.
He listened to his advisors on Katrina.
A. He don't hear so good.
B. He needs to get some new advisors.

The sad thing, and the sadder thing.
The sad this is this ass-munch, when for once the country actually needs some leadership, flies off to the Middle East in pathetic and futile attempt to establish a legacy, when he might actually have accomplished some legacy building had he done something about the economy.
The sadder thing is had he stayed in the US and tried to do something about the economy, surely he would have made it worse.

Why should he worry?
Bush and his cronies are all leaving this administration much richer than they were 8 years ago. Why should they worry that they have destroyed life as we knew it for the rest of us?

Irrelevancy, thy name is "Dubya"
A couple of weeks ago, the Current Occupant asserted that he continues to be "relevant", specifically because he still wields his veto pen.
Tell me again, "Mr. President" -- HOW are YOU relevant? What exactly are YOU doing in the exercise of legitimate presidential power and prerogatives? What do YOU bring to the position of President of the United States, the so-called "Leader of the Free World", that goes beyond the collective opinions of your economic advisors, or your military advisors in Iraq and elsewhere, or those currently advising you on any other burning issue facing this country and the world?
*sigh* January 20, 2009 can't come soon enough. Go AWAY, "Mr. President", just GO AWAY.

Idiot
Bush wouldn't realize that his own pants were on fire unless an advisor told him about it. The special interests supported his campaign for president because they knew he was a patsy who could easily be manipulated.
-
Well...
...if someone is horribly unprepared and not up to the job and has it handed to him by unscrupulous people with obvious agendas, how much can we blame the aforementioned patsy for the disastrous results?
-
Remember this one?
"Heckuva job, Brownie!"
-
Boy, this guy suresurrounds himself with some brilliant advisors.
Closing the barn door metaphor has been grossly understated here. At least Katrina effected only a 1/4 of the South. Bushit's economic policies have drained the wealth of the entire world. I can hear him now..."no one could have guessed that a recession could happen. Who could have forseen a housing market slump? How could this happen to me? Me of all people, me!Heh, heh, heh"
What a stumble-butt this guys is. Heck of a job Georgie...

When Doing Nothing Is Preferable
Now THERE'S a leadership strategy that will get your name in history books... right after Fillmore and Polk.

Half of this country has no right to bitch about anything!
High gas prices, 3,930 dead American soldiers, the invasion and occupation @ 2 billion a week, The shit economy, a 9.2 trillion dollar national debt, etc., etc., etc. No fuckin stimulus package for you fuckers either.
After 4 horror filled years, half of this country voted for this asshole for the second time. You now should have to stew in the dirty diaper this president left you in.
Assholes. How do you like your fuckin trickle-down economics this time around?
Just remember, taking an economic stimulus package is socialism and you bastards can't have any of that now can you? Go eat your fuckin Freedom Fries.

Making the politics of failure work again?
What's mind-boggling about all of this is it reveals how strong a hold Republican ideology has on its adherents -- they're most definitely not part of the reality-based community. The Bush Years have created this economic, military, and political disaster -- there's truly nobody else they can blame but themselves and their bankrupt ideology -- and still, people are looking for John "Maverick" McCain or some other GOPeon to save them, even though any of them is a guaranteed continuation of the same "politics of failure" that the Bush League exemplified. Astounding, and a triumph of political propaganda 40 years in the making. Even the old trope of immigrant-bashing simply won't cut it as a scapegoat -- the GOP rank-and-file have to know that immigrants aren't the reason the country's as screwed as it is, but I guess they just want a target of opportunity, somebody to kick in the teeth, instead of reassessing what it is they stand for, exactly, and why what they stand for is, at heart, wrong for the country.

"And, so like
all the nerdy guys would like do some work or whatever and you know, get information and stuff? And they would like stop him in the hall and be like, "Dude, we have numbers in on like spending and stuff," and he was all, "Later, dudes!" and took off, so like when the smart guys like really thought they had something they told him again, "Hey, Dude, we really should do something about this like now," and he was all, "Yeah, that's cool, you should totally do that."
So yeah, this student government is like right on track and stuff, it's all good. Or not "student government", like, the real thing, duh, whatever.
Next question? Yeah, the dude in the hat thing--"
Oh, Dana...

There's nothing wrong
In the world Bush & Cheney occupy, bad news for the rest of us is good news for them. We do a war, and they and ALL their cronies benefit - defense contractors and oil companies and the mercenary industry are booming; their stocks are through the roof What could possibly be wrong?
