George Bush's Most Controversial Decisions

Who Needs to Be Safe Anyways???
You go! Let's take care of the world...who cares if we get attached anyways? I don't need to be safe! Let them come in and attack all our major US cities, right? Feeding people in Africa is more important than safety and security and peace of mind.
Balance is the key here. We need to be safe first, then we can help others. We have gotten so far off track in this country from the original values and freedoms that founded this wonderful nation, such as hard work and Christain values. When approximately 50% of the country aren't paying ANY taxes and the other 50% are expected to supported them, there is something wrong! Is it possible that 50% of our country is so mentally/physically/emotionally handicapped in some way so as to warrant them not being able to take of themselves??? I can't believe it!
This county has become soft, catering to anything and anyone that is outside the "norm". If they have a belief that contraray to the traditional values that this country was founded on, then the liberal politicains and media automatically agree with it. This is how we got where we are today! And the current administration is only feeding the frenzie. There is an alterior motive in this administration and it the the governmental control of our money and lives. WAKE UP!!
Jimmah
Right now we are experiencing another 4 years of an extended Jimma Carta admin. What a mess.
Bush wrecked more than the economy...
Bush absolutely wrecked the economy with his "free market" B.S., which focused on taking care of business while ignoring citizens. More dishonest and criminal than Nixon.
Interesting figures to ponder
Clinton w/ Republican Congress/ 8 years = 1.6 Trillion added to US DEBT
GWB w/Mixed Congress/ 8 years = 4 Trillion added to US DEBT including 911, Katrina, Ike.
Obama/Pelosi/Reid = 1 Trillion in 3 months!
Do the math.
Obama = Change we don't want AND can't afford.
just tell me this
how will raising taxes on the people who create jobs, create more jobs? At least bush did not wreck the economy. Ask the dems about their buddies in Fannie Mae and how they fought the repulicans on gvng loans to people who could not afford them. And they justified their attacks by screaming racism!
He kept us safe you fools
My whole family will be buying his book. What is wrong with you people that make statements like he's a crook?
He's a crook
Hopefully we can turn this economy around and actually focus on solving the deeper, systemic issues for why we're in this situation. Obviously bad banking's a good place to start, but there are other issues, like global poverty, that have huge economic and geopolitical ramifications.
The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) has some interesting insight into addressing the issues of global poverty, something we can remedy easily and sustainably.
Some interesting figures to ponder:
$30 billion USD: The annual shortfall to end global poverty.
$550 billion USD: The annual US defense budget.
