You know, the irony is painful.  Here is a man who wants to tell us what we should fear (WMDs) but then doesn’t find what it is we’re supposed to fear (WMDs) but winds up creating a fearful situation anyway (Iraq as a weak place where Al Qaeda and insurgents can’t be contained).  As well as a man who, for seven years, refuses to discuss the economy as struggling, having red flags or otherwise being shaky until some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in this country’s financial industry fail at steering their ships away from greed and instead into literal and figurative bankruptcy.

Why does anyone wonder why it is that no one has confidence, and least of all when he tells us, we should have confidence?

Read this account of what President Bush said at the G7 Summit.  It’s like he’s on another planet. The constant patriarchical tone and wording, the total unitary executive thrust of “trust me.”

As if we have a choice.

I cannot think of a single thing that I have confidence in that originated with George W. Bush.  I know there must be something, maybe more than just one thing.  But damned if I can think of one. How about you?

    …….I personally think W should just sit in his easy chair and watch re-runs of “Dallas” all day long. Don’t let him near a pen to sign anything. Don’t let him in front of a t.v. camera. Just take the last two-and-a-half months off, we’ll still pay him. His legacy has been set in stone for quite sometime. I have more confidence in this guy: http://www.amoeba.com/dynamic-images/blog/Sarah/What-me-worry.jpg

    George W. Bush will go down in history books as one of the worst, if not thee worst, President of the United States of America.

    His lies to our country should have been considered as treason!
