What are some of the worse things during Dubya's Presidency?

Question

A lot of crap has happened while Bush has been in office. Can you add to the list?

- 911
- Lying about WMDs
- Katrina
- the internets

..as a reminder. SOME of the things don't have to be Bush's fault. It just happens to fall during his term, like "Katrina".

Answer 1

45 thousand factories closed,300 family farms close a day currently,trillions in new debt,epa gutted,medicare bill written by drug companies,flawed elections,$3 a gallon gas,bill of rights violated,wmd lies,record corporate welfare,katrina fema failure,Iraq,tax cuts that favor top 1%,continued raping of social security,more badly negociated trade deals,huge subsidies to oil companies,no bid contracts for bechtel and halliburton,blowing cover of active cia agent,illegal aliens flood country,economy flat,Ken Lay,Rush Limbaugh pardoned,FTC allowing huge corporations to merge,Inflation, plotting to drive down wages, to many to list.

Answer 2

The worst thing about W's presidency is listening to unimportant celebrities and quasi-intellectuals pretend to be politically informed. If someone (Clinton) had been proactive when the WTC was bombed THE FIRST TIME in Feb. 1993 maybe 9/11 would never have happened and some of this sh*t in the middle east wouldn't be necessary at all. But I still think it's good that we're over there already now that Iran wants to "Wipe Israel off the face of the earth" with nukes. Things could be and have been much worse than they are now.

Answer 3

- illegal NSA wiretaps (probably some on opponents of Bush, etc.)
- trying to illegally integrate religion and politics/government
- his maintaining of liberal cities (Katrina/general EPA standards)
- Bush adminstration using the PATRIOT Act to go after more liberal groups and other innocent people/groups under the vague blanket of terrorism.
- pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol (for companies to make more money)
- his failure to get Osama bin Laden
- starting a war with Iraq
- his utter denial of global warming
- has tried to take evolution out of science and give evolution less importance in favor of a false, christian-based belief (creationism/ID) with zero science, but in scientific wording.
- his failure to care about terrorism before 9/11
- and there are many, many other failures of Bush and I don't believe the Internet, as a whole, has enough space to fit all of his failures on.

Dubya will always be known as one of the worst presidents this country has ever had. But we love Laura.

Answer 4

---911 isn't bushes fault at all, he had just began his presidency so if it was anyones fault it is clintons because he didn't fight terrorism and the terrorists wereable to plan the attack.

----WMDs were found in iraq it just never hit our liberal media

this link shows a preview of an article a couple of weeks old in a kansas city newspaper. It costs money to read the whole thing but you will get the point

---Katrina falls on FEMA, bush didn't cause the hurricane to happen and nothing bush could have done would help the response.

---I don't have any clue what you are talking about with the internets

Answer 5

Let us see........9/11 happened. He did not lie about WMD's......Bush could not act without the consent of the Governor of LA, under posse comititus, and she dawdled, and the internets???????

Answer 6

The failure to privatize Socialist Security. The government has been taking 15% of my money for years, because they believe I can't plan for my retirement myself.

USCITIZEN, 45,000 factories closed? Economy flat? Where in the hell did you get this information?

The economy is growing, and is likely to continue.

Answer 7

Hmmm...what president? He sure doesn't act like one...

Anyway,

Theres 100 mistakes Bush has made here:

Answer 8

I have lost faith in the ability to look to our President as an example of stability. It is less than inspiring when you have a President who can not even think for himself.

Answer 9

Well one of the worst things is this terrible public opinion against him. Its my belief that he's doing the best he can to do right by you and be honest with you. So good job for shitting on him.

Answer 10

The Media failed big time.Only time will tell.
