Accomplishments Of George W. Bush Jr.



1.     G.W. Bush lost approximately three million American jobs in his first two-and-a-half years in office, the worst record since Herbert Hoover.

2.     Taken, in the wake of the terrorist attacks 5 years ago, the greatest worldwide outpouring of goodwill the United States has enjoyed at least since World War II and squandered it by insisting on pursuing a foolish go-it-almost-alone invasion of Iraq, thereby transforming almost universal support for the United States into worldwide condemnation.

3.      Deliberately LIED to the American public about weapons of mass destruction and supposed ties to Al Qaeda in Iraq leading us into a war that has plainly made us less secure.

4.     Failed operations in Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda are regrouping.

5.     Completely failed to plan for the personnel and monetary needs in Iraq after the war, so that he sought and obtained an $87 billion appropriation for Iraq, a sizable chunk of which is going, without competitive bidding to Haliburton, the company formerly headed by his vice president.

6.     Inherited an annual federal budget surplus of $230 billion and transformed it into a $500+ billion deficit in less than three years. This negative turnaround of three-quarters of a trillion dollars is totally without precedent in our history

7.     Cut taxes three times, sharply reducing the burden on the rich.

    * Created ("The Patriot Act) going against the same ideals that we are fighting for in Iraq "this is worst than the Alien and Sedition Acts under John Adams.")

8.     G.W. proclaims to be a conservative while at the same time carries out the belief that big government should be able to run roughshod over the Bill of Rights, and that the government must have all sorts of secrets from the people, and the people can not be allowed privacy from the government.

9.     George W. Bush's record on running up debt to burden our children is the worst since Ronald Reagan; his record on government surveillance of citizens is the worst since Richard Nixon; his record on foreign-military policy has gotten us into the worst foreign mess we've been in since Lyndon Johnson sank us into Vietnam; his economic record is the worst since Herbert Hoover; his record of tax favoritism for the rich is the worst since Calvin Coolidge; his record of trampling on civil liberties is the worst since Woodrow Wilson.

I believe that George W. Bush is the worst  disaster that has ever befallen the United States of America. He is bringing economic, social , and financial ruin to this great country. George W. Bush is nothing more than a a shallow, bigot, who has little or no tolerance to the poor, the working class, or any one who believes in what America  really stands for.

Americans are a kind and trusting people, who have been hoodwinked by smooth talking liars.  The people behind Bush have manipulated us with outright lies, cover-ups, and deceptions.  We have a docile press corps (Radio, TV, News and Press services) who gratefully accept and print the false information that is fed to them.

I believe that the American people have finally had their guts full and are now starting to wise up.  Take a look at his poll numbers. Numbers don't lie, but the Bush people do.  I only hope that it is not to late for this country to recover from the "Bush Disaster".
