.... poorest grammar along with even poorer constructed ideas.

Doesn't it remind you of George Bush?

But I think it is still way better than Bush's.

it's all george's fault...

dick(never a more fitting name)cheney showed what a stand up guy he is the other nite. the "angler" said that G W B was in fact THE 'decider' the past 8 yrs. he was along as a loyal servent. while most were slack-jawed over cheney's denial and commented about cheney's rumored power, they missed the point.

the v p was dumping the events of the last 8 yrs in bush's lap. it was all geroge's fault! he did it! george was in charge all the way! was this the truth(after all everybody thought everyone but IKE ran the Eisenhower administration)or was this just a way of polishing his historical legacy? or was this a way of avoiding posible jail time?

Ignorance Exemplified

It never ceases to amaze me how people post opinions as if they are authorities on politics (SEE THE TWO PREVIOUS POSTS) yet have the poorest grammar along with even poorer constructed ideas.

Definitely Great Legacy

The US needed a war monger(and I mean that in a good way, being one myslef)in this time. Anyone else at the office on Sep 11, and we would still be debating who to attack and if it was really necessary. Bush at the White House reminds me of that scene in the restaurant on Scarface where Al Pacino says we need guys like him so we can point and say that's the bad guy. I love that scene.

He's keeping the muslims at bay in the middle east. With US troops 'over there' they're not here, right? Unfortunatley our military is dwindling in this age of selfishness and materialism. Nobody wants to give 4 measly years after high school anymore. How can I get free financial aid to go to college? What do I get out of it? Me work at McDonalds while going to school? No way!! Gimme, gimme, gimme.

The golden age of the liberals are over afte jfk. It's no longer doing for my country, it's my country needs to take care of me. Not just live in peace in relative safety when compared to people in Venezuela, Somolia, or Mozambique, we want stuff for free...

I would like to say Mr. Bush did splendid job waging terrorism

also i know americans donot know much about world

so i dont know people wouldlove him for not waging war or for waging a war

ha haha anyway america would soon atleast i am sure in themonth of november or mid october get rid of economic recession .

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIEDNS love love love love

The Chaney Natural Resource Strategy

Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.

Chaney has help Bush to formulate a legacy which has never been attempted by other U. S. presidents. To be fair, George W. Bush and Dick Chaney may well be one of the better presidents in recent U. S. history. He is much better than everyone from FDR onward to Clinton and certainly a million times better than Obama who will be the worse president in U. S. history and also the worse leader our world has or will ever have. If I said from FDR on, it means all U. S. president we are familar with.

The reason for W's greatness is that he allows the price of oil and other natural resources to go up which will provide a fair opportunity for those oil and natural resource national to develop economically into other areas.

Those other areas for nations who have received money on their oil reserve can be on industrial development, infrastructure, education, environmental protection, etc.... Higher oil prices will help the Environment because there will be less consumption, less waste and less development and expansion into the wilderness.

When an oil and other natural resource producing nation is in great need of money to run its country, it has no choice but to lower its oil and natural resource prices to compete for cash income. I guess the best way to stabilize oil price and make it higher is for OPEC and other oil producing countries to have alternative income. With alternateive income from other sources than oil, then they don't have to depend entirely on oil for money to run their countries. Therefore, they don't have to lower oil prices to compete for sale.

May be that is the reason why the United States were trying hard to put other countries into poverty and insatbility in the past, especially those with huge natural resources. George W. Bush or maybe his father may well be the only U. S. president(s) who have been doing something good for those natural resource producing nations.

cheney equates to evil

thid dark, satanic, and enigmatic figure disturbs me.

it seems cheney answers to no one, not even to god.

the arrogance, the hubris in which he is addicted and drunk, stirs within his diseased and weakened heart.

I do not understand why he hoards money when it seems his health will eventually lead him to the grave like so many of his other evil predecessors.

he is a finite and broken man who failed his country.

does he still believe the lies he spreads from within his lips?

9/11

I'm so thankful this country hasn' been attacked since 9/11. I hope Obama can keep us safe.

It started with an ideology

...and so did Nazi-ism. The idea was to remove power from congress and the senate, and place it in the white house and spread the ideology. Unfortunately for this group of neoconservatives underestimated their own society's intelligence. Sure they got over forty five percent support, but the majority of the country made a statement...this is not the America we want. Americans don't want dictators, much less ones that declare war and kill eighty thousand in the name of three thousand, and then call themselves good Christians.

Indeed

most of the Iraqis are not even appreciative of what America has done by liberating them. maybe it is a mistake to foil Saddam Husein's dictatorship, maybe the entire war is a mistake. At this point i don't know what does America get out of the war besides bad reputations around the world, and worsening economy. worst administration indeed...
