Bush said that Democrats are "more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than providing our troops what they need" yet it took the Republican-lead congress until June to come up with a bill last year.

Bush said “They left for spring break without finishing their work,” about democrats but if you recall he went on a rather long golf trip at the beginning of his presidency just before 9-11.

He said “This is vetoing the will of the American people,” yet the war is extremely unpopular (http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm).

Seriously what do you think of this? I think it's madness. He's just blowing off steam for nothing. Sure the war is there and we need to win it but his current strategy can't work (according to most popular news programs) and if Congress tries to propose even a slight withdrawal of troops, he threatens to veto. So what's worse? Leaving our troops there without the proper equipment and risk them to die, or bring some home?

Bush is certifiable.

Bush starts his spring break tomorrow. Has he finished his work?

Need I point out that Bush can work wherever he may be and does. Congress on the other hand has to be in session and together to get anything done. Bush will continue to work and Congress won't.

He has actually. Today he complained that congress was on break. He leaves D.C. tomorrow.

A lame, lame duck with no plan, no ideas and nothing left.

I guess now he'll find out what's it like to be a Democrat!

Or, a Libertarian...

The last time Bush worked was when he turned 21 and got his trust. He had to fill out a bunch of papers at the bank.

What about that time he had to fly out to the aircraft carrier? And the time he had to serve turkey in Iraq to the troops?

He CAN, but he DOESN'T. He has the ability to make this country better but has instead squandered now over 414.1 Billion dollars of US funds. And where, pray tell, did that money come from? We are in a deficit with the government spending more than it brings in. He is a smart man but chooses to play dumb to the American people which means he does not respect us. He is taking out loans from other nations and banks to pay for his illicit and illegal war.

This country is being loaned and sold to private banks and other nations to secure the financial gluttony of oil companies.

And what if that money would have been asked for to fund education? Would we be told that such an endeavor would bankrupt us? Or what if it was to clean up the environment? I think so, as Da Shrub is saying complying with a Supreme Court decision will damage this economy. Well, I don't see how, only a President who makes statements with no facts to support his decisions.

Very good points, our health care solutions are being wasted in Iraq. That and many American resources that could be better used.

But it is important to understand that he is able to make decisions based on few, if any facts because he has the backing of the far right. And of course, the old moderate republicans, (the few reamaining in the GOP.), support him in fear of the backlash from that hard right should they leave the reservation.

[johnnyburst79]

*** his support and the far right. Its only goal is to make money at the expense of the people. This is FAR from what the founders of this country intended. This man is a mockery of what a great President is and the ideals to which Presidents *should* aspire to.

In this government, the people are getting shafted. It will happen by the allowing future Presidents just as previous ones allowed it to happen.

When a government says "I will follow the Evangelical Christian prerogative, in public, because they give me money", we the people are getting the worse end of any and every deal.

Halarious

This article was written a while back but the main point is still pretty accurate. Now may I remind you who has been leading our country which caused all that? Bush. And is he a Democrat? No.

If you have nothing useful to post, don't post at all.

But does Bush work? Obviously not. He took a long golf trip during the beginning of his presidency and during that time, his advisors said there could be a terrorist attack soon. Bush didn't do anything. Then, boom! 9-11 happened.
