1. His Supreme Court picks will eventually die.
All of his anti-environment, anti-choice, anti-freedom, and anti-consumer Executive Orders can be reversed.

The agencies filled with incompetent, right wing cronies can be re-staffed with qualified people.

The budget can be brought back to balance. But the legacy of Bush's debt binge will last.

DIGNITY AND HONOR CAN BE RESTORED TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

3. We'll pay through the nose for a long time and our kids will too.
I don't know if we can reverse what's happening to the environment; Bush didn't create it but he sure as hell didn't help it.

The money needs to be investigated and returned to the U.S. Treasury. Then, Congress needs to be expunged of all greedy, sticky-fingered lobby-ridden fat cats.

2. The Crawford ranch can
be reforested--especially if we all send seedlings.

7. At some point, all will understand that EVERYTHING
he's done, and EVERYBODY he's appointed are pure evil.

The Republican Party will cease to exist and, in an effort to garner international support, the new American leaders will agree to extradite select Republican leaders to the many countries where murders have been committed in the name of fascism -- beginning with Chile.

If we don't extradite, nobody will help us to salvage our economy.

9. Well, as much damage as Ronnie and Poppy did to the deficit...
And the National Debt, I recall thinking at the time that it would take at least twenty years to clean that up..and yet, Clinton did it in seven years...

All of it CAN be reversed; it just depends on what we're talking about as to the years it will eventually take--and having the successor presidents and Congresses (D-controlled. of course) with the will to do it!

B-)

10. All of them given enough time and political will...
However, it burns me up to think how FAR the greed-heads and fundie screwballs have set back American progress.

Decades at the least and I think that was part of the plan; Get into power by any and all means and then JAM as much of the neocon, corporate and fundie agendas down our throats as fast as they can for as long as they can get away with it knowing that the power can't last.

12. Okay, so this is REALLY scary.
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 11:19 PM by Carolab
"The ultimate criticism of Executive Orders is that the runaway use of EOs could result in a President becoming a virtual dictator, capable of making major policy decisions without any congressional or judicial input. The following web sites contain articles arguing against the liberal use of Executive Orders by the President."

14. Given sufficient time
all things may be corrected.

It's the "sufficient time" part that is the real kicker. For example, given sufficient time a single proton will decay into simpler particles. Trouble is, that sufficient time is 10 to the 30th power years, or roughly enough time for our universe to reach its present age 1,000,000,000,000,000 times.
