I challenge the biggest right-leaning historian jackass to name one, and I mean just ONE thing Presidouche Bush has done right. What will they say with a straight face? He has not accomplished ONE noteworthy thing while in office.

Each of his elections have been won under incredibly suspicious circumstances. The worst attack on US soil happened under his watch and could have been prevented. There's damning evidence that his administration let it happen on purpose. The Iraq war is a goddamned failure and when you think about it, the true "War on Terror" has yet to even start. It was started on several proven lies and will continue for at least 5-6 more years. The rich-poor gap is the worst it's been in decades. Gas prices rose. The American middle class family is earning a mere $3000 more a year in real dollars as they did in 1970, while working 40-80 hours longer. Civil Rights went straight in the shitter. The religious reich holds more power than ever.

Seriously, if we overlook Reagan's obvious shit-ups, like Iran-Contra, S&L and Noriega, you could at least bullshit your way, via superficial events that most likely would have happened with anybody, to making him look good even if it killed you. I seriously don't think the same thing can be done for Lancelot Link. Technology has come a long way since Reagan despite Bush's best efforts to keep his and Poppy's misdeeds guarded. The only three things that ever propped up Presidunce Asswipe were old money/connections (mostly via his Father), an uneducated (and therefore easily manipulated) voter base and Karl Rove. It certainly ain't his achievements.
