George Bush's Very Successful Presidency - No, Seriously
George Bush's Very Successful Presidency - No, Seriously

Here's a very brief and incomplete list of Bushco's successes:

In eight years, almost completely unimpeded by Democrats, and in many cases, he couldn't have done it without them, Bush dramatically changed this country to the benefit of the parasite class. From gutting environmental policy, to ridiculous tax cuts, to numerous bills that only benefited the monied interests, Bush helped corporate America make more profit than in human history. And I'm not even including the oil, gas, and coal industry. From bankruptcy reform, the energy bill, to the the medicare bill, Bush pushed through major legislation that eliminated oversight, hurt consumers, and weakened our democracy. Then, throw in two Supremes who love corporate power and God, and all I can say is, good job George.

Probably his greatest success, however, was letting 911 happen. I don't know how they did it, but, despite a plethora of warnings, they actually managed to let 4 planes get hijacked at once, and fly unimpeded into three major sites including the World Trade Towers. Excellent.

From that single act, Bush was able to conquer two countries, seize about 45 trillion dollars in Iraqi oil, depending on the ppb this week, and turn the country into a war mongering, war profiteering, national security police state. Oh Mr Bush, you will always be VIP at the Petroleum Club.

Yes, Bush's base has made trillions of dollars from his actions and policies. Kudos. A very successful presidency indeed.

Who has failed on the other hand, is us.

5. Trillions of dollars of additional national debt, trillions of dollars of damage to the
economy, trillions of dollars of profit for a few large oil companies. Success beyond comprehension, success beyond one's wildest dreams, and it could not have been done without so many accomplices, so many aiders and abettors, so many complicit on both sides of the aisle, in the MSM, on wall street, on main street, on the courts, out in the hinterlands. :P
