Why not include his entire term?

true

In his eyes, I am sure he has not made any mistakes.

 

[Sinsear]

Can we get a lock on this blatant trolling?



This is not blatant trolling, he just neglected to add any commentary of his own.

I can't think of any. Continual good decisions regarding the war, sound foreign policy decisions regarding Iran, fighting the dems and their pork and attempts to repeal the tax cuts and hurt our troops.

All good news.

That was his greatest mistake.... getting elected in the first place.

You might as well ask what he did right. It would be a smaller list...

QFT and bumped to piss off the neocon sycophants.

For a really happy New Year, we could start by impeaching and convicting Bush and Cheney. :wine: :thumbsup:

I already started with the success. How about trying?

Name one mistake.

A Happy New Year would be you to stop posting your fantasy-land "If I had a magic lamp with a genie and three wishes" nonsense.

You make coming to this board worthwhile for me. The best part is that I'm pretty sure you're being serious.

I am.

Can somebody list a mistake? There have been some but the success well overshadows any missteps.

Look at the bills that have been put before him and what was vetoed. THAT's success.

If I had a magic lamp, your TRAITOR IN CHIEF and his criminal cabal would never have taken office. If you have a problem because I want some real justice after the fact of their crimes, it's your problem.

Happy New Year. :wine: :thumbsup:

And yet you cannot name a mistake. That's sad.

No. That's obstruction and hypocrisy.

President Shat-fer-Brains had the opportunity to exercise his veto pen with the criminally corrupt Republican Congress and chose not to do so.

15 posts, not a mistake listed yet.

Looks like a troll post with the usual lefties clapping.

Lock this one up.

 

[spidey07]

So...I've listed the success. Where are the mistakes?

Yep; no mistakes, but we have the usual tripe:

Predictable. The topic was Bush's Greatest Mistakes 2007.

 

[bamacre]

His continuation of nation building in two countries, and most likely the start of a third one in Pakistan with the decision already made to send in troops.

This all from a man who ran a campaign of NO nation building, and then wanted to invade Iraq his 1st day in office.

Ugh, do we really need to do this? Your successes are listed as things like fighting the dems who "hurt the troops". That's a completely stupid statement, and it's not a success as nobody was trying to do that. What you consider continual good decisions regarding the war, plenty of other people consider continual mistakes regarding the war, myself included.

He spent most of the year pushing for legal immunity for telecom companies who were a party to hundreds if not thousands of felonies related to warrantless wiretapping. That's not just a mistake, that's a Constitution shredding mistake. He vetoed healthcare for children that 70% of the country supported, that's a mistake. He continues to allow Afghanistan to deteriorate, that's a mistake. He continues to operate Guantanamo, and continues to put forth absurd legal arguments in order to deny people basic human rights, those are mistakes too.

You probably love most of the things I mentioned, but it doesn't make them not mistakes. I was just reluctant to mention them because I'm sure it will ignite a whole load of stupid flailing by the authoritarians on here that I'm really not interested in participating in.

Regardless, there's about half a dozen mistakes for you.

 

[Sinsear]

I'll list one: supporting the ramrodding of the Immigration Amnesty through congress. thankfully, this was beat down before it could come to his desk for approval.

Well you're right. I view those as all the correct decisions.

Vetoing the healthcare one as being one of the biggest successes. I believe in the Constitution and all of those decisions were correct regarding the Constitution.

Agreed. That was a mistake. Glad it didn't get that far.

I'm glad you brought it up because if somebody else didn't I was going to help out the other side by mentioning it. I'd probably call that the biggest mistake of the year.
