Bush is the worse President of our time - but why?

[MethuenProgressive]

I'm having a hard time putting together all the reasons why into just a few paragraphs. It's not as easy as it sounds - give it a try!

[Beelzebud]

1. Nope. I like my keyboard.

If i started typing all of it out, I'd end up using my keyboard as a club to beat my computer with.

[eviltwin2525]

2. Sure it's easy!

Bush is the worst President, ever, because he sincerely believes that the SOLE purpose of power is to serve the powerful. End of story.

[drthais]

3. ok - try this

it's a LTTE I sent in today
which I do not expect to have published
but I had to purge:

…About That G-8 Summit…

For those of you who think George W. Bush is God’s gift to the United States of America, you can quit reading now. There is nothing I can say, no fact I can present, no argument I can offer that will touch you in any way. You have your opinions and your faith, and that is enough for you.

The rest of us are long past alarm, disbelief, and outrage. The world is literally in flames, New Orleans is ruined, the government is spying on us, our Constitution has been shredded, global warming is causing environmental changes that cannot be stopped, the country is bankrupt, and our military has been all but destroyed; all of this a result of the policies enacted since that sad, sad day in 2000. It’s too late and too little to be angry at those who voted, not once but twice, for this president; whether or not you believe the elections were ‘stolen’ in 2000, 2002, and 2004, few can argue that our voting system is completely broken.

But the reason I write today is not directly any of the above. Rather, I am wondering, how many readers have kept up with the G-8 Summit, recently concluded in St. Petersburg? Do you realize that Bush had the temerity to suggest to Putin in a public press conference that American citizens hope Russia will follow Iraq’s democratic path? And that Putin responded that Russia would ‘not want the type of Democracy that Iraq has’…thank you very much? (and the press corps laughs loudly) and then Bush says “Just wait”. Just wait? And that’s only the beginning. At a press conference in Eastern Germany, with Andrea Merkel, Bush begins by going on and on about the upcoming Pig Roast, and that he would get to slice the pig. When asked a series of very serious questions regarding Iran’s nuclear development, he responded thus: “I thought you were gonna ask me about the pig”. Then, in St. Petersburg, Bush (with a mouth full of food) lets loose an expletive to Tony Blair, stating that Syria should just tell Hezbollah to cut it out. The actual text is not printable. Then, finally, as if this weren’t enough, there’s the video of Bush coming up behind a seated Merkel, as she is having a conversation with the leader of Italy, and giving her an impromptu shoulder massage. She is so startled that she has a ‘Eeeww, Ick! Get your hands off me!’ response…as any woman would.

Things are certainly a mess, my friends. Leadership of this country and in the world-at-large is not fodder for frat humor. It is deadly serious business, as is the future of our country. Either the antics of the president at the G-8 are a true measure of the president’s character, or something is very wrong with him. Neither bodes well for the country.

[msongs]

4. because he is a figurehead who has failed at everything he has done

in his life.

every undertaking has been given to him, not earned. he has been bailed out of everything by his old man or his old man's connections.

as president he is the figure head to cheney and cheney's mob. he is there to be the likeable good old boy frat clown.
whenever he is caught on his own he bumbles and stumbles and/or gets angry and freaks out. He cannot go outside his cocoon so he must be cared for and allowed only in safe surroundings when in public.

his clownish behavior at G-8 summit was his pathetic attempt to make up for his incompetence by acting foolish.

His pathetic behavior towards the german prime minister was an attempt to show dominance.

despite having convictions, he cannot act on them appropriately. he will not admit mistakes, or apologize, or accept responsibility.

there, are those enough reasons for you :-)

5. Poet Stanley Kunitz believed that power should not be given to men who

are not spiritually great.

George W. Bush is one such man.

[Redstone]

6. No paragraphs needed; just one sentence:

Everything that could be done wrong, he did wrong.

Redstone

[Orrex]

13. With a minor addendum

"Everything that could be done wrong, he did wrong."

And what could not be done wrong, he did wrong anyway.

[Redstone]

20. Excellent addendum.

Redstone

[liberal N proud]

7. The list is too long to post in any one story

Anyone who could put that list together is one hell of a calm person. To type that stuff up would cause too many emotions to bubble up.

You name it, he has fucked it up!

[saltpoint]

8. He is disconnected form the nation's history. He has no awareness of

and so does not appreciate the road so-far taken.

He cannot frame current events in the context of a history he's ignorant of.

[Aviation Pro]

9. Because like Inspector Clouseau....

...he brims with confidence, but is totally over his head (without the humor). Of course, that describes a majority of his base.

[Berry Cool]

10. I was going to say

I could begin explaining it all to you, but I have to go to work tomorrow.

But in the meantime, you might start with:

--stupid
--uninformed
--likes it that way
--incompetent
--has unwarranted sense of entitlement
--doesn't know how to run anything, so lets tyrants do it for him
--no sense of empathy for those unlike himself
--values loyalty to himself above all else in those who work for him
--believes his powers should be limitless and uses War on Terra as his excuse
--enjoys being wealthy, powerful and happy and keeping his friends so while others are miserable
--will sell country down the river so long as nothing affects his world
--when accused of not being responsible, blames others for whatever goes wrong.

Oh, and yes, let's add: Stupid fratboy who has been handed everything he ever wanted in life on a silver platter and who still has other people cleaning up after the messes he makes, yet constantly chides others for not being able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps to achieve success.

[gjackson1750]

14. It's our own fault

That we are stuck with bush. I mean admit it, when we can't put forth a candidate that can beat an incompetent like bush2, where does the fault really lie? John Kerry couldn't whip cream. A good Democratic candidate should have garnered 70% of the vote against some one of this stature.

[Maccagirl]

11. Being a major league asshole

pretty much sums it up. His beliefs, agenda and policies really have impacted my life in a VERY negative way to a degree that other Presidents didn't approach.

[sweetheart]

12. because he's an artless demon of the dark lord

Before Bush, the empire did evil shit artfully,
but the artless hack has turned it all in for a wooden nickle,
and the world government by military force is keeping with
his adgenda to destroy all federal power.

THe nation is now bankrupt, legally by some counts, and of
course it is, indeed, given war criminals still drive the ship,
making more war, and supporting more murder of civilians in
the prison lockdown.

[ndcohn]

15. ok ill try

unlike previous presidents, george w. bush combined administrative incompetitance with bankrupt ideology - triggering numerous policy disasters including the Iraq War and its associated fall out in terms of american military strength, international credibility and middle eastern stability, failing counterproliferation measures in north korea and iran, ignorance of continuing genocide in darfur, the largest budget deficit in american history, attempts at social security privatization, an outsourcing of americna jobs, the disaster surrounding hurricane katrina, intelligence failures, cutbacks to vital social programs, please don't make me keep going - i promise i could though haha

[nevergiveup]

16. *(&%/^$?+&#@?>*z/%#(@!?"x&

That is the best I can do. When I see his face or hear his voice or confront the reality that he is the president, I begin to tremble, perspire and my blood pressure spikes. I would be in a coma by the end of the first paragraph.

[MethuenProgressive]

17. "Invading Iraq will bring peace and stability to the Middle East"

So what, is it 1776 days since "Mission Accomplished" yet?:grr:

[spindrifter]

18. You're right, it isn't easy to put all the reasons

why * is the worst President of our time into a few paragraphs. A few paragraphs won't do the topic justice. My sound bite is that * is too stubborn to try to learn about issues. He has no ability to think for himself and he refuses to seek out any type of education on his own.

[FrenchieCat]

19. because, as Howard Dean said today....

George Bush chose political posturing over human life -- he has and always will!
That's makes him not just the worse President of our times.....but also a very nasty human being.

[Cobalt-60]

30. It's a trick question

Because he never has been president.
He's a usurper in the presidents office.
He in fact lost the election of 2000 and used open fraud to secure the 2004 contest.
But I'll bite.
He's a flaccid puppet of big business. They issue orders through Cheney and Junior delivers the goods.
He's an ill mannered intellectual midget. A president shouldn't be an international embarrassment.
He's obviously propped up by the might of his daddy's connections.This loser should be working the midnight shift at Quickee Mart.
An objective look at his record reveals that he has failed at every endeavor other than lying to the public.
He's a savage enough practitioner of class warfare to earn my "enemy of the people" classification.
And, finally, he can't say NUCLEAR.
I'm sure there's more.

[cry baby]

21. Here is a really good compilation of reasons:

I bookmarked this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=882172

Original message
The short list (by popular demand!)
Ok, ok! Since y'all loved this, I'll do a seperate post! And I don't know where I blatantly stole this from, but whoever put it together, YOU RULE! Aight kids, here ya go!

ATTENTION FREEPERTARDS! Let's review, shall we?

YOUR "President" has done the FOLLOWING in his five plus miserable years of ruining America. Please make a note of it:

Government employees:

Reclassifying old government documents that had previously been declassified in the name of national security

The "Friday Afternoon News Dump" -- releasing information that would be damaging to the Administration at the end of the week, so that it is buried in the news cycle

Scott McClellan's press conferences, where he refuses to answer many legitimate questions from reporters

Waiting too long to hear from VP Cheney after Texas shooting

President Bush hiding the extent of his contacts with Jack Abramoff & Ken Lay

Paying 'journalists' and television commentators to "sell" its policy messages to the American public, or pass off government-sponsored PR pieces as "news," to deceive the public about the merits of programs

Prohibiting the release of photographs of coffins of American troops arriving at Dover AFB

Government agencies removing public information from websites -- more than six thousand public documents, according to the Center for American Progress – so public is now less able to hold government accountable, and less able to make informed decisions affecting lives, families and communities

Ashcroft memo from 2001 encouraging government agencies, where defensible, to deny Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, shifting the burden from the government to the public

President Bush has signed several Executive Orders granting agencies new authority to classify information

Blocking whistleblowers like Sibel Edmonds from sharing information

Overriding the Presidential Papers law immediately after taking office, when President Bush locked up any access to documents from the Reagan and GHW Bush years

President Bush often appears before screened, rehearsed, or uniformed personnel, who must support their commander-in-chief, which inhibits scrutiny of the Administration's actions; real people with real questions deserve to meet and speak with President Bush and ask him the tough questions

Iraq:

Misled American people about true motivations for war in Iraq -- no weapons of mass destruction, and certainly no imminent nuclear threat

Falsely attempted to link Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda's 9/11 attacks

Invasion of Iraq was high on the priority list of Administration upon taking office, and again in the immediate days following 9/11; the Downing Street memo makes it clear that President Bush was intent on war with Iraq long before he had brought any rationale, fraudulent or otherwise, to the American people

In the summer of 2002 President Bush secretly shifted $700 million dollars of funds allocated to the fight in Afghanistan and hunt for Bin Laden to projects in Iraq, prior to any authorization by Congress

Falsified documents regarding yellow-cake uranium allegedly being sold to Iraq by Niger

Refusal to disclose all the intelligence estimates surrounding Iraq and supposed existence of WMD, particularly those that showed the likelihood they didn't exist

Information about the admission by N. Korea that that nation had undertaken to produce nuclear weapons was suppressed by the Bush Administration during the Congressional session in 10/02 that authorized war in Iraq; had this been known, there might well have been greater resistance to the pre-emptive Iraqi invasion

Administration continues to provide misinformation to this day as a way to manipulate the public into supporting this war

Wolfowitz's testimony before Congress about the cost of the war ("it will be paid by the Iraqi oil output")

No-bid contracts with Halliburton

Lying about the Administration's "outing" of CIA agent Valerie Plame as punishment for her husband's critique of Bush's Iraq war justifications

Allowing Karl Rove to remain in office when President Bush pledged to sever ties with anyone who leaked classified information

Refusing to release the numbers of wounded and dead Iraqis that have been wounded or killed by U.S. military troops since the invasion of Iraq

Suppressing information about the amounts of federal tax dollars allocated for reconstructing Iraq that have been diverted, apparently without oversight, and for which the Bush Administration has yet to account

Suppressing information about the millions of Iraqi oil dollars diverted from the "Oil For Food" Program in the aftermath of our invasion of Iraq, and for which neither the Bush Administration nor Paul Bremer have yet to account

Cheney's saying that the insurgents are in "their last throes"

Insufficient body armor for troops

Civil Liberties:

Domestic NSA wiretapping without warrants and without Congressional approval

The Administration has not been clear about the number of individuals who have been secretly wiretapped

Ignoring the Constitution especially in regards to separation of Church and State

Holding so-called "non-combatant civilians" for an indefinite period of time, depriving them of their day in court, access to counsel, and access to family members who could plead their case to the public

Detaining people without charging them, in name of "national security"

Depriving political dissidents of their 1st Amendment rights to speak out against Administration policy at events; protesters are routinely removed from crowds and placed in jail

Threatening reporters who attempt to inform the public of the goings-on within the Administration

National Security / War on Terrorism
Hidden rendition of "suspects" to countries that torture

Not forthcoming about prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib & Guantanamo Bay, including blocking photos of abuse

Not forthcoming about pending transfer of American port operations to company owned by UAE

Preponderance of right-wing publications, and a lack of books representing more liberal point-of-view, in overseas military community bookstores

Constant talk about homeland security, but Bush Administration doesn't fund much of the projects needed: securing our borders, providing ports with the security inspections & personnel required, providing first-responders with communication equipment they need, etc.

9/11:

Stonewalled 9/11 investigations, and didn't even want a 9/11 Commission

Once Commission was established, withheld 9/11 documents from Commission, including daily briefs given to the President leading up to 9/11

Lied about not knowing prior to Sept. 11 that terrorists had discussed plans for flying commercial airliners into U.S. buildings

Lied about actual EPA levels of toxic substances present at the World Trade Center site after Sept. 11

Energy policy:

Withheld information about membership of Cheney's energy task force, as well as records of its meetings & activities

Energy policy written by oil and gas lobbyists

Science & Environment:

Big polluters allowed to draft air quality rules

Jim Hansen from NASA and other scientists have been "gagged" and forbidden from talking publicly about their findings

Hiding the drilling for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge in an appropriations bill when the majority of the people and the Congress have already voted against it

Time and time again, accredited scientists have provided information on everything from climate change to stem cell research that has been ignored, discredited, mischaracterized, or even falsified by this administration

Falsely discrediting evidence of global warming

Withdrawing the U.S. from the Kyoto Accord agreement

Efforts to prevent scientists to speak publicly and controlling memberships in advisory committees of scientific institutions

Setting up "think tanks" of pseudo scientists on environmental issues

The Yucca Mountain Project to saddle the citizens of Nevada with not only the nuclear waste from the United States, but now from the world

Calling an initiative to clear-cut forests the "Healthy Forests" Initiative

Calling an initiative to allow dumping more waste in the air the "Clear Skies" Act

Rep. Pombo's (R-CA) bill that would sell off vast swaths of public lands for profit

Opening up national forests to logging

Loosening safety standards in industry and food

Elections:

Refusing to allow an honest and true accounting of election results in 2000 and 2004

Engaging in a massive voter suppression campaign in the state of Ohio to secure a second term by fraudulent means

Allowing states to implement unfair and unverifiable voting systems

Hiding the underfunding and incapacities of the federal elections agency established after the 2000 election -- an agency that, in 5 years, has not been able to assure the American electorate of the integrity of the votes they cast in federal elections

Katrina:

Withheld information about Katrina response from Congressional committees

Lying about not knowing that the breach of the levees at New Orleans was a real possibility

Not forthcoming about continued inadequate response to Katrina, even months afterward

Education & Health care:

Mischaracterized new Medicare prescription drug program as a way to help senior citizens with cheaper drugs, but has instead been a big boon for drug companies and insurance companies, with no help to those who need it

Stopping accountants from disclosing the true cost of the disastrous Medicare part D plan

They misrepresent negative consequences of the morning-after pill, ignore FDA's medical experts about "Plan B," and prevent distribution of medical products that could contribute to better health

Underfunding educational programs and sacrifices in: teachers salaries, nutrition programs, after school programs, continuing education training for teachers, social support networks

President Bush wants to increase the health risk for individuals who consume meat and poultry by limiting the presence of federal inspectors in meat and poultry plants

Federal changes to our "proper standard of food quality" by food manufacturers

Blocking Congress:

Using recess appointments to evade Senate "advice & consent" responsibility (e.g., John Bolton)

Signing statements where President claims right to disregard laws passed by Congress, even while signing them into law

Maneuvering two Supreme Court appointments through Senate confirmation without adequate disclosure of the nominees' predispositions or judicial philosophy

Bush Administration discouraging a bill in Congress that would protect federal whistleblowers

Encouraging "testimony" before Congress to be given while NOT under oath (e.g., Alberto Gonzales)

GOP efforts to obstruct Democrats in Congress

Shutting Democrats out of Committees -- especially conference committees

Limiting (or eliminating) debate in the House and Senate

Senator Pat Roberts blocking investigations on NSA spying and hyping of intelligence on WMDs before Iraq war

Practice of hiding proposed bills until the very last moment before they are voted on

Economic data:

Falsify employment numbers

Setting large deficit expectations and beating those expectations when deficit comes in "lower than expected"

Hiding the true federal budget by using supplementals to cover the costs of war

Failing to truthfully account for ongoing impact of tax cuts in budgetary projections

Shipment of jobs overseas -- for so very long, people did not know the scope of lost jobs during Bush's "growing" economy

Media:

Asking the FCC to tighten their grip on the information that can be broadcast on public airways

Attempting to shut down Public TV programs such as "NOW", by cutting off funding of public TV

Working to allow fewer corporations to own more media outlets in the same part of the country, making it harder for smaller competitors with alternative ideas to stay on air

Setting up Jeff Gannon with White House reporters credentials, despite his lack of qualifications, and then feeding him media leads at White House briefings

AND THIS IS JUST THE *SHORT* LIST!

Now if we could only get an election that isn't rigged...

[opihimoimoi]

25. Good post, Damn, I thought my list was too long, LOL

[MethuenProgressive]

26. Nice job!

But pretty dated - I might use it as a model. Lordy, there's so much to say about Little George - and so little time...

[Son Of Spy]

22. I can in just a few words...

Bush has the REVERSE MIDAS TOUCH. Everything he touches turns to shit!


Yep I've got that ol' time religion

[opihimoimoi]

23. Mostly because of lost/missed opportunities..He COULDA< SHOULDA< WOULDA

BUT DIDN"T

Appears INTENTIONAL:

1. Rejected the Hart Rudman Commissions Recommendations: appointed Cheney to stop Terrorist attacks in Feb 2001...He never called a single meeting to address terrorism until post 9/11

2. Rejected/Ignored the famous warning in Aug 2001 in which he was told in no uncertain terms, Osama coming to town to do BAD

3. Rejected the Kyoto Accord...got massed Mooned for that one June 18th in Sweden

4. Appointed inept cronies to high positions...heck of a job Brownie

5. Completely convinced America Bush could give a Rats ass for New Orleans..took five days for him to send help. We all saw the videos of the Blunder

6. Went to war on LIES and Deception....2,500 killed and counting. 10,000 wounded, some grievously. Too Many with PTS and no real help in sight.

7. No Oversight n policy making...too many unilateral decisions in violation of our system in place.

8. etc....

The man was a complete mistake by the Pubs. They lived with him and now they gonna smell like him...dead meat.

[AtomicKitten]

24. this site doesn't have enough bandwith to fully elaborate n/t

[PATRICK]

27. Number one

He is not the elected president and doesn't intend to act the constitutional part- at all.

Then, in practice, it gets "progressively" worse.

Saying he is the worst president is already too kind a definition and avoids the aspect of coup d'etat. The only clear evidence of a coup, the Florida brokered election of long ago, was always considered- at the time- illegitimate, no matter that it wasn't as bad.

The Roman Empire, hardly a democracy but a round robin of aristocatic power juggling was finally upset by barrack room emperors. Now we have ballot box chimperors.

Even admitting in this way that Bush has some place as a leigitmate president is an insult to the whole
nation and line of presidents.

36. He is literally the disembodiment of the Enlightenment.

The Anti-Jefferson.

The Avoltaire.

The Nonmadison.

He who does not understand that he has been "given" everything, then wasted it all and has never "earned" nothing in his entire life...a spoiled brat at the age of sixty, given all the benefits of educational opportunity and career contacts, yet chosen to waste what most would covet having. In short, he is a wasted life.
