wow, look how much younger he looks in that photo compared to today. That job just sucks the life out of people.

But to make certain that a majority of people come to think that CORRECTING the error is worse than CONTINUING the error---THAT is the mark of an EVIL GENIUS!!!

(Even many Dems, including Obama, admitted things like "a precipitous pullout would create chaos" and "timetables would play into the insurgents' hands")

Great quote...it should be written in stone on a new DC monument featuring Bush and Cheney pissing on the graves of our founding fathers.

Bush really is a fool. But the biggest fools of all are all the people who voted for him-twice.

I wish there was a website where you could go and look at the names and faces of all the people who voted for Bush-twice.

About half of the American people voted for Bush-twice. What a bunch of losers. And now they are grumpy, mad, confused and looking to blame someone else for all the fu##ed up sh#t they caused.

Did I say they are a bunch of losers?

Bush, please go and stay away. You were successful in carrying out your marching orders, i.e., to destroy our great Country.

Memo to Keith,

Iraq is a done deal, and it's won. Ten years from now GWB will be considered a hero there.

Jezz man, you didn't know that???

Any who believed in the fool in the first place didn't do their homework and can't fall back on not knowing that he was lying. All the information about lack of wmd and the geopolitics of oil and Haliburton and Cheny's collusion and dominance of W and who gave the chemical weapons to Sadam Hussien and more were available with minimal effort for assessment on the net. Before the war started...Before the Iraq war started. Despite the tremendous Israeli propaganda war, there is information on the history of the opression of the Palestinians and the duplicitious murdering ways of the Nazi like Zionists also available with little effort.

Keith- lets see a rant regarding PannyMac! President of Countrywide leaves in 2006 (after all the bad loans are sold and damage done) establishes PennyMac. Buys back the bad loans from the FDIC at 30 cents on the dollar. Oh and FDIC commits to split any potential losses Pennymac may incur

Leaving out opinions about politics, to actually change 2 regimes in the middle east with less than 5000 American casualties is a remarkable feat.
Oh wait, we are in the land of the Americano. if it don't come easy and within 5 minutes it's a failure, like fast food.

"President-elect Barack Obama said Wednesday that reforming massive government entitlement programs—such as Social Security and Medicare—would be "a central part" of his effort to control federal spending."

Bush is 2008. I thought we were looking forward here?

"A centrist blog hitting on all the good stuff: Politics. Economics. Fiscal Policy. Foreign Policy. Moral Issues. Culture. Investments. Religion. Humor. Life."

"If you're a free thinking, optimistic, open-minded, solutions-oriented person, you may like it."

I don't see much free thinking behind Bush-bashing. Also, I don't see any solutions, and I sure as hell don't see any optimism in most of the posts here.

I thought after the election it was a new world...? Maybe you should blog about how you are growing up and realizing that it is you, not a U.S. President, that makes your pitiful life what it is.

I can't even look at him anymore.

I much prefer the term "decriminalize" to "legalize." The former is the reinstitution of a previously existing right, which I believe to be the case here. The latter is to bless the commission of something that was prohibited presumably from Day One; euthanasia might be an example and murder would be an absurd one.

George made us feel comfortable. He was an average, ordinary guy just like us. He doesn't talk down to us. He makes us feel smart. He tells ordinary, average jokes and we laugh. We like the simple jokes because we get them. He tells us we can have it all with no pain. We loved that. We don't like pain. He gave us our self esteem fix on TV everytime he talked and he told us that we all deserved to be rich. We loved that. George was the Pusher Man.

Now, that the pain has begun nobody wants to admit how much they loved him. They don't want to talk about how good it was to believe in the fantasy of this average, ordinary guy.

The "Magic Negro" guy is a lot harder to understand. He uses BIG words. He doesn't mangle his sentences or forget what he is supposed to say. He doesn't stutter. We don't get his jokes. He tells us that there will be pain. He makes us feel dumb. He scares us.

We just want our average, ordinary guy back to tell us what we need to hear and crack some of those good jokes we can understand. (Like looking under the table for the WMD). How funny that was. He was just like us.

This IS America. We CAN have it all and we never have to pay full price for it. That is what George said. We loved him.

Sarah will be back in 2012. She is just like our Beloved George. She will make us believe in ourselves again. We will all have clothes and makeup just like Sarah's for free. We will love her.

God Bless America, the Shining Beacon on the Hill, and Charlie Daniels:
