Ack, I killed the thread! haha Time to light a new fire.
Anyway, doesn't anyone have anything good to say about ole GWWW? All I've seen so far is "He's a good man" "He really IS intelligent" "He has good morals"..Save me the sanctimonious BS.
Here is what I accrued from some intelligent discussions. "It's not his fault the economy sucks." Ohh kay. Right..So it's all clintons fault? or was he the victim of a naturally occuring business cycle as most presidents are? I can say this much in Clintons defense, he instilled my pocket book with a sense of confidence which is more than Georgey boy has done. When you tell the American public "We're bracing for a recession" at the same time Clinton was saying "I have faith in the economy and the American public. Things always look down before they look up." There is a massive polar effect there. (By the way the clinton quote was from a CBS interview on January 10th). Call me ignorant to the facts, but I liked Clintons wording a lot better than, "Oh SH!!, We're goin down a Texas sized pit of despair! It's not my fault!!!"
And the Kyoto treaty, okay, he backed out of a treaty that didn't make perfect sense. India and China should sign it too but thats not a great reason to pull out. You have to start somewhere. USA was looked up to as a forerunner the last 8 years in technology, economy, and foreign politics. Now people are afraid of our technology (Nuclear Defense), our dwindling economy(not GW's fault?) and our lackluster foreign politics. Perhaps instead of dropping the Kyoto treaty dead we should have identified the aspects of it that needed working on, and pledged to stick with it when the treaty looks beneficial to everyone. And that crap about it ruining the economy if we sign it, what have we got to lose?
As for the energy crisis, Perhaps he could have acted sooner. I understand a lot of the "crisis" isn't so much the "lack" of energy, there is no shortage, it is the electric companies whining because they dont have enough $$$ to sustain operations. What kinda crap is that?
I don't see Bush himself sitting down w/ Israel and Palestine at -Kenny Bunkport-, I see him sending our "war hero" Mr(Gen) Powell to "Fix this situation."
Please, show me something outstanding he has done? And really, don't bring up the taxation issue. I like paying taxes for government programs. I would much rather that $300 bribe im getting be put towards a new interstate, or a veterans fund, or something worthwhile.
