Bush was like a bad turd, he was gone as soon as we pulled the handle but the stench will be around for a while longer
Well, let's be clear, Bush wasn't the problem. He was a yes man for the problems. Let the neocons run foreign policy, let Wall Street dominate the economy, let corporations get away with about anything.
In that, he wasn't really that different than Reagan - the old corporate spokesman who was the paid national spokesman against Medicare and for GE before he ran for office.
Let the corporations say who to invade, what terrible regimes to back, let the earlier version of the 'neocons' break the law in Iran-Contra, let corporations do what they like, including Savings and Loans...
We can elect any number of 'yes men' who let the problems do what they want. That was Coolidge and Hoover's basic policy, too. Sarah Palin is worse than Bush, remarkably.
