What will history say about Bush 20yrs from now?

I hope all we hear about bush in 20 years is that he is not allowed to earn any money from his autobiography he writes from prison

200 years from now, if Americans still have any IQ points left (doubtful), Bush will be regarded as the Worst President in American History because the transformation of the United States into a third world country dramatically accelerated under his watch.

Yeah, we're well on our way to being a third world country...we're further from a third world country than we've ever been.

Let's see. Our population is exploding and the U.S. is now the world's third most populous country (right behind those thriving middle class havens of India and China). Tens of millions of Americans cannot afford health care. Tens of millions of Ameircans are poor. Millions of Americans, including Americans with four year college degrees and graduate degrees, are either unemployed or severely underemployed. The percentage of working-age people who are employed is on the decline, and the nation has trillions of dollars in national debt and a huge trade imbalance.

In the meantime, the nation is merging its economy with third world economies where the number of relatively impoverished participants in the third world economies dramatically dwarfs the number of Americans, resulting in a loss of manufacturing capacity and knowledge-based jobs, including R&D jobs.

It's still a mystery to me why so many people continue to fail to understand simple economic concepts such as supply and demand and the concept of arbitrage.

Yup, I think history will write that bush gets alzheimer's at real early age to try to play the Ragan card... "I DON'T RECAL!" to every charge he gets.... I think he will be in court more then 10X for all the crap he has done... There are going to be tons of questions with no answers.

I feel sorry for his wife. He really should have stayed on vacation more.

As soon as we have a democratic president again, the revelations will start with the release of Bush 41's papers that 43 blocked right when he got power. The shame of the Bushes can be expected but they've been there earlier, when 41's father had a business seized by the government for his doing business with the Nazis. Oh, how embarrassing.

And can we please stop comparing Bush to Clinton, this thread is supposed to be about Bush only.

that can't happen, because while on the defensive and in damage control mode, one of the few big weapons that the bush apologists can wield at the moment is the diversionary one. dragging clinton back into the mix as if he were still the despised adulterous "slick willie" president that they knew and loved and rallied against is their way of diverting the public's eyes and ears from the merry-go-round of scandals and scew-ups that's dogged bush's administration ever since he got our military to invade iraq.

bringing clinton back into the picture also serves as a way to remind and motivate the party faithful that if they lose control of congress, the taint of clintonian liberalism will once again be rearing its ugly head. perish the thought.

Well try this one out for size,

If we assume that the overwelming number of histiorians---maybe not a gaggle---but a concenus decide that GWB is a total dud---will that book be on the shelves of the GWB Presidential library?---or will only the Karl Rove politically correct version be featured?---and I too want my peek at the prefididies of #41---I always suspected GHB was in the loop and up to his eyeballs in Iran Contra.

His one claim to fame? Bush makes Millard Filmore look like a rousing success!

A recent informal, unscientific survey of historians conducted at my suggestion by George Mason University?s History News Network found that eight in ten historians responding rate the current presidency an overall failure.

http://hnn.us/articles/5019.html

Among the cautions that must be raised about the survey is just what ?success? means. Some of the historians rightly pointed out that it would be hard to argue that the Bush presidency has not so far been a political success?or, for that matter that President Bush has not been remarkably successful in achieving his objectives in Congress. But those meanings of success are by no means incompatible with the assessment that the Bush presidency is a disaster. ?His presidency has been remarkably successful,? one historian declared, ?in its pursuit of disastrous policies.? ?I think the Bush administration has been quite successful in achieving its political objectives,? another commented, ?which makes it a disaster for us.?[/Q]

Maybe it depends on how many countries donate $$$ for his Presidential Library. Somehow I don't expect he will be as successful as Slick was in this regard. :laugh:

What would he put in there, comic books?

I hope the opening paragraph will begin:

George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States. He is most remembered as the only American President ever to be tried and convicted of the crime of treason.

I think that's well said. People just fail to understand the real Bush agenda, which of course is really the agenda of the cabal who selected him for the run, with him as 'front man'.

Look at the shift in wealth in the nation to the very top, look at the weakening of the elected government's ability to represent the people against the powerful corporations, and you see the agenda better.

"He was the man responsible for moving mankind out into space."

Not because of his re-direction of the space program to the moon and Mars, but because he started WW3 and we just couldn't live here anymore due to the radiation.
