Sad really
 

The closing paragraph is very telling about Americans. Such a shame and such a shame the world notices.

Totally failing to mention that it was his idea to start the bloody war in the first place.

Ah, it has to pass the house and the senate for war sir. He did not do this all by himself not to mention Collin Powells WMD mis-information. The American people backed it. Like most fans, when they see their team losing, the go home and find another team to root for.

Of course these fools forget terrorist operations on U.S. soil and UN ceasefire agreements from the First Gulf War.

Wall Street Journal, eh? Wait, there was something....Wall Street...managers, failed managers....ah yes, golden parachute! There we have it. Knew this sounded familiar. No matter how much you fail, praised shall thou be!

And as usual, the ever present big bad "enemy" is listening.

What does a new paper named the Wall Street Journal have to do with Wall Street failure?

It would seem you missed the part about the 90% approval rating after 9/11. What then did this one single solitary man do to get the approval rating he has now? Why is the approval rating of Capitol Hill lower than Bush's? Group effort? You betch'ya.

Pathetic essay.

Some people here might be surprisd, but actually I never thought Bush to be an "evil" man. I just think he is incompetent to handle the office, and his dilletantism is the answer to many failures of his. this weaknes left a vacuum that then was all too willingly filled by others, claiming to do things in his name he even was not aware of, and maybe even not caring for things being like this - he maybe even did not want to know. If there is one general mistake of Bush to identify, then that he failed in keeping his house under control. Instead he allowed the servants to run the show not to his but to their views, he allowed them to influence him instead of him inspiring them, and whenever he had to decide soemthing himself, he failed, since he was not used to it. Seen that way, Bush has shown a great heap of incompetence indeed, but on a human level he is not really evil, but tragic.

And shame on those who blame everything that happens on the President. It takes three to tango in the US, Congress, the Senate and the Prez (and he can even be over-ruled). While GW certainly did his share of screwing things up, the rest of the government has done it's share, too (as evidenced by the fact that Congresses approval rating is lower than GW's).


And totally forgetting to mention that Congress helped him carry it out.

No, Bush is not a perfect man. One of his greatest flaws was listening to his critics. Democrats have slandered our war efforts since the beginning. He should have done everything it took to secure these war zones despite the criticisms. I think when it gets down to it, the USA will miss Mr. Bush. Give it a couple of years. It depends on how Obama conducts himself. And no, I don't care how you view it. You're not an American voter.

Funny you should mention Wall Street and golden parachutes. Also funny that you don't mention them when you speak of Obama even though three of the former top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were campaign advisers to our president-elect.

Don't forget, many of those Democrats are on record calling Saddam a threat with WMD programs.

its the story of so many presidents - love them at first and within 3 or 4 years blame them for all the problems.

The fact is Congress wields the power... if anyone deserves the hatred its them.

Not right
 

Bush did not deserve that crap. I admit I liked him in his first term but not after. He has had terrible judgement but I truly believe he had the best intentions.
