George W. Bush: Worst President In United States History - A Response To Dick Cheney
by MacDaffy
Richard Bruce Cheney pronounces the Obama Administration an "unmitigated disaster"...
Wow!
No president is perfect, but President Obama an "unmitigated disaster"?!
Mister Cheney: I do not think that phrase means what you think it means. You want "unmitigated disaster"? I'll give you "unmitigated disaster."
The partial tally of what this nation lost under President Bush so far:
• The World Trade Center
• A piece of the Pentagon
• Five or six trillion dollars--again, so far
• A doubled national debt
• Over six-thousand dead American soldiers and over forty-seven-thousand wounded (not to mention billions of dollars in weapons, supplies, and equipment blown up, wasted, or stolen)
• Untold numbers of Iraqis, Afghanis, and Pakistanis dead and wounded, and thousands of refugees
• The sympathy and the cooperation of almost every nation on the planet
• A big chunk of New Orleans
• The housing market
• Every amendment in the Bill Of Rights except the second
• A valuable CIA agent specializing in nuclear counter-proliferation
• Safe airline travel
• Safe food
• Safe water
• Safe, regulated exploration and extraction of coal, oil, and gas
• Impartial climate science
• A space shuttle and seven astronauts
• The integrity of the Justice and Interior departments
• Years of government research on climate change
• Eight years of stem cell research
• The nation's moral standing on war crimes and torture
• Two million jobs
• Fair elections
• The integrity of the private property system
• Trillions of dollars swindled from Americans by banks you refused to regulate
• The Kyoto Treaty
• Three-thousand points off the Dow
(I would list the American automobile industry but President Obama mitigated that one…)
This is not to mention the tragic, needless loss of life at home and abroad. You two--entrusted with all of the might and with the unalloyed support of the most powerful nation on earth--failed to send enough troops into Afghanistan to kill Osama bin Laden in December of 2001 which has allowed death and destruction to metastasize throughout that region in a war that has yet to end ten years later. You have caused those brave men and women to be re-deployed again and again, leaving them and their families strained under the weight of duty.

Don't forget these chicken hawks sent thousands of troops into Iraq WITHOUT proper life saving equipment. Don't believe me just visit your nearest VA hospital. Bravo shrub and darth. Bravo!

poor little duck makes me sad....yeah, I'm too sensitive when it comes to animals. Even toy ones.
Matthew Rothschild:
Barack Obama is fast becoming an accessory after the fact to the war crimes that the Bush Administration has committed.
By not prosecuting the torturers and those who ordered the torture, and now by not even going public with the photo tortures he’d already agreed to release, Obama is doing Dick Cheney’s business for him...
...The statute says: “Whoever, knowing that an offense has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.”

I also believe Cheney and Bush are war criminals and traitors. I also expected the man I voted for in the Presidential election to address that issue...
That scene always reminds me of the famous image at the end of "The Shining."
