Where did Bush 43 come from?
43 from 41?
Published on October 11, 2004 By COL Gene In Politics
I wonder if there could have been a mix up at the hospitol when George W. was born. If someone looks at a comparisson of George H. W. and George W. they would find almost no similarity between the two, except for the name. Bush 41 was a real American patriot during World War II and Bush 43 got out of defending his country by using his father's help to get in the Texas Air National Guard. Bush 41 risked his life and did his duty to help defend his country and Bush 43 shirked his duty while in the Nationl Guard.

Bush 41 had a string of successes before running for President as a businessman, congressman and Director of the CIA. Bush 43 was a poor student who abused alcohol, ran several companies into the ground and used his family contacts to gain an interest in a baseball team. He then turned his father's contacts and political influence into winning the governorship of Texas.

Bush 41 understood that attacking Iraq would embroil America in a no win war and Bush 43 failed to listen to the wisdom of his elders and knowledgable advisors. Buh 41 was a president that had the courage to alter his approach when needed (read my lips tax increase) and Bush 43 "stays the course" in the wrong direction. Too bad 43 did not more closely emulate 41. America would be far better off!

Bush 41 was a one-term President. Bush 43 is trying to avoid that fate.

God - lets hope 43 is a one term president. It will take years to overcome his mistakes!

Yes...years to overcome his "mistakes".  Such...as...what?

Lowering taxes? Glad for that.  Getting rid of Saddam? Glad for that. Taking out the Taliban? Glad for that. Making schools be more accountable? Glad for that.

I guess I am unclear what these mistakes are.

I am convinced that if it wasn't for Bush 41, Bush 43 would never have been president. He's the most corrupt, unqualified, narrow-minded president this country has ever seen. His vision is so obscured by his conflicts of interest, it's no wonder the USA was attacked. It's no wonder oil prices have hit all time highs. It's no wonder the rest of the world hates us now. Truly, if Bush 43 had to go it alone, he would have gotten nowhere.

Bush's mistakes:

Lowering taxes on the richest people in this country, and giving the middle and lower classes a tax cut that is totally meaningless to them, or shall I say us. A tax reduction of $200 for me isn't going to change my lifestyle one iota. But, the overall cost to society for cutting the taxes, particularly during wartime, is criminal. It means reductions in social programs, the safety net for those who really need it, for the environmental programs, for health care and medicaid and medicare, education, etc, etc, etc. Federal taxes may have gone down, but it has required local governments to raise taxes just to maintain their activities because they are not getting the federal assistance that they otherwise got. We are paying through the nose, anyway. Tax cut, my ass!

Getting rid of Saddam accomplished nothing, but killed thousands and thousands of people, and left many more thousands maimed for life. Given all the other bad guys in this world, Saddam was not the worst. He was just sitting on lots of oil.

Making schools more accountable is a good thing. Running up the deficits to unprecedented levels, thereby not funding the No Child Left Behind program results in pulling more funding away from the schools that cannot meet the accountability standards imposed, thereby making it more impossible to meet the standards. It is a back door way of cutting funding for education.

Putting all of the defense department resources into funding Star Wars, and paying little if any attention to intelligence may have given Bin Laden the opening he needed to perpetrate 9/11.

Pulling out of one treaty after another will take years to overcome. Kyoto Accords so Americans can continue to emit carbon emissions without any checks, Nuclear Nonproliferation so we can develop new "nucular" weapons, UN Population meetings, so the Bushies don't have to deal with family planning, the list goes on and on. It will take years to undo all this.

How about Clear Skies Initiative, which is nothing but allowing power plants to emit more pollutants.

How about Healthy Forest Initiative, which enables the lumber industry to log without restraint, under the guise of clearing dead wood to prevent forest fires.

How about appointing industry CEO's and lobbyists to all the regulatory programs, so that they can overturn those regulations.

Draginol, if you cannot see these mistakes through the haze of the republican rhetoric, then you're blind as a bat, deaf as an I dunno what..........

are you freaking serious.... first of all, Saddam Hussein was a crazy terrorrist (yes, i say terrorist) who has killed more people than you could probably count, second, why would Bush go to Iraq for oil if he knew it was going to cost this much? Do you really think we are going to make a profit(moneywise) on this, or are you just regurgitating left rhetoric?

Tax cuts to people who need them and will spend the added money is very different from tax cuts to those thast do not need than and will not spend most of the added money. Tax cuts financed by borrowing it NUTS! The CBO estimates $270 Billion of the current deficit is due to the tax cuts.

Wait a second here.  We got attacked because of what Bush did from Jan 20th 2001, until September 11, 2001?  Damn, those terrorists sure can build up a grudge and make a massive plan in a short amount of time!  I'm sure it had nothing to do with the previous 8 years that we totally ignored the threat that was building and pretty much ignored foreign relations.  Sure, it was a "peaceful" time, which gave our enemies time to plan against us.

Most corrupt?  Are you serious?  Have you never heard of Nixon?  What about Clinton who was impeached because he lied?

Oil prices are high because of him?  Man, what about everyone claiming "war for oil?"  If that was true, and he was doing this out of self interest in the oil business, it should be *cheaper* because we have more control.  And, people talk like we have never seen prices like this.  Right now we are at war over there and prices are around $2.00 a gallon.  In 2000, when Clinton was in office, prices were over $2.00 a gallon for no reason at all.  Sure, but it is all Bush's fault.  It had nothing to do with what was put in motion before him.
