Oh. I forgot to mention Plutos expulsion from the solar system. That had to be because of Bush.  |
Was it Harry S. Truman who was famous for having a sign on his desk reading "The buck stops here."?
When has GWB ever taken responsibility for any of the catastrophes that have occured on his watch? On 9/11 he sat in a classroom reading My Pet Goat while the country was under attack yet came out of it as a hero with US support at an all time high across the world, a unified house and senate, and a 90% approval rating; 6 years later his approval rating has been stuck in the toilet, partisanship, bickering, nationalism, and hatred toward the US are at levels never known before - and yet you don't think he has anything to do with that?
Whose decision was it to, solely, as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, to invade Iraq even though there was only a slim majority of support for it at home (and only after a 6 months systematicly and continually linking Iraq to 9/11, which we know is false, and claiming Iraq was an "eminent threat" to the US which we know is false, and that the US would be greeted as liberators, which we know is false) and overwhelming opposition to it abroad.
Then there's Katrina and "you're doing a heckuva job Brownie"; Brownie being the former Horse Commissioner that Bush put in charge of FEMA and who was obviously in way over his head when called on to perform the job Bush had appointed him to do.
That's just two classic examples of collosal screwups that Bush's fingerprints are all over - one would usually be enough for a person with any sense of decency and integrity to admit to himself that he is in over his head, and resign and let someone competent take over. But Bush doesn't even admit mistakes, he just ignores them or passes the buck.
