You are RIGHT Jeb, "It's what you do AFTER that matters."

i would add Stealing an Election to that list, among other atrocities, but you get the point.

Oh and one more thing:

Your brother was probably the worst President in our history and since you have appeared to have learnt zero from that experience, you would be worse.

2. I can see the 30 second spot:

Andrew Card: whispers : "we are under attack"

Bush: silence : compress 7 minutes of Bush' dear-in-the-headlights silence into remainder 29 seconds

3. Katrina can be included in bush not keeping us safe. Watching those people

calling for help and not getting it was heartbreaking.
He had to wait and be the "Cavalry to the rescue" with the lines of buses heading for New Orleans to evacuate days and days AFTER the hurricane hit.

No, jebya, dubya Didn't keep anyone safe ever. Not before or after the disasters.

6. Except, what you do before can curtail all of that after stuff

You can ease yourself away from the card table covered with toy soldiers and tanks, with an Iraq flag planted in the center, and read your Presidential Daily Briefs.

The Deafness Before the Storm

IT was perhaps the most famous presidential briefing in history.

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief — and only that daily brief — in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission, which was investigating the events leading to the attack. Administration officials dismissed the document’s significance, saying that, despite the jaw-dropping headline, it was only an assessment of Al Qaeda’s history, not a warning of the impending attack. While some critics considered that claim absurd, a close reading of the brief showed that the argument had some validity.

That is, unless it was read in conjunction with the daily briefs preceding Aug. 6, the ones the Bush administration would not release. While those documents are still not public, I have read excerpts from many of them, along with other recently declassified records, and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administration’s reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed. In other words, the Aug. 6 document, for all of the controversy it provoked, is not nearly as shocking as the briefs that came before it.

8. Very telling graphic, Kpete. But the list requires the avoidable 2008 crash.

The damage to our nation geopolitically in the 2008 crash was severe and continues. That crash, which the GOP and especially W's administration are responsible for, didn't just ruin many Americans for life. This article in Foreign Affairs was written in 2009, showing that expert observers like Mr. Altman KNEW, as W was supposed to, that the 2008 crash would leave the U.S. and the entire planet destabilized and in a dangerously weakened state.

"The Great Crash, 2008: A Geopolitical Setback for the West, By Roger C. Altman
The financial and economic crash of 2008, the worst in over 75 years, is a major geopolitical setback for the United States and Europe. Over the medium term, Washington and European governments will have neither the resources nor the economic credibility to play the role in global affairs that they otherwise would have played.

Here we are in 2015, the planetary economy is still dangerously shaky, and many books have been written about the sequelae still playing out in unmet disaster piled on disaster around the globe. These notably include those attributable to unmet global warming challenges, and all threaten the security and safety of the United States.
