Bush: ‘America Is In The Lead’ On Climate Change
more lies as usual, he is getting really delusional. His arrogance is stunning.

Trying to stamp down what he called “stereotypes,” Bush insisted the US was leading the effort to combat global warming:

"Now, look, I understand stereotypes are hard to defeat. People get an image planted in their head, and sometimes it causes them not to listen to the facts. But America is in the lead when it comes to energy independence; we’re in the lead when it comes to new technologies; we’re in the lead when it comes to global climate change — and we’ll stay that way".

Seriously, the man has gone from sympathetic, to delusional, to liar, to flat out asshole in 8 years.

He's an asshole. Not a psycho. Not a sociopath.

He's not insane. He's just a stupid asshole who would never be in this position if not for being born into the right family and he's alway been one.

2. That's no lie. The US has been the leading cause of climate change for
most of the past century.

Our position is only now being challenged by the coal filth of other nations...

9. There he goes again trying to polish his
rusty, tarnished, horrific legacy. It's not going to work in this day and age. He has already blown it and it's in the toilet ready to be flushed.

11. U.S has responsibility, but also China, The Soviet Union (and Russia today) all share in the blame..

We need to get in a lead ASAP. The only way to take off the shackles of Middle East oil is to develop new kinds of technology. Our cars need get in line with high MPG standards so we can cut down on gas use. We've outsourced so many factories that there wont be much heavy industrial environmental impact in the US in the future.
