George W. Bush’s Failed Presidency in One Speech: 4 Years of Failure; No New Ideas; Negative, False Attacks

After Four Years:

Bush Has a Record of Failure on Key Issues: Jobs, Economy, Health Care, Homeland Security and National Security.

Bush Has Failed to Come Up With a Single New Idea To Change His Course of Failure.

Bush Continued His Negative Campaign of Misleading about John Kerry’s Record.

Bush Has Failed America

Bush Failed To Protect Our Homeland from Attack

First, Bush opposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Since 9/11, he’s failed to adequately fund our nation’s first responders, cutting first responder training grants by nearly half in his 2005 budget. Bush has failed to secure the nation’s ports and borders, properly screen air and sea cargo, or create a unified terror watch list. Today, only 5 percent of the cargo coming into the nation’s ports is properly screened, most air cargo goes unscreened, and only one border agent is available for patrol per every 5 miles of the U.S. Canadian border. Bush has cut funding for first responder training by nearly half, cut port security grants by 75 percent, and has plans to cut DHS funding by $1 billion if he is re-elected.

Welp, I think they may be listening to our calls/suggestions ? ;)

9. In the 9 months leading up to 9/11

The Bush Administration repeatedly ignored real and ominous warnings from the Clinton administration, Richard Clarke, and other Intelligence professionals. This lead to the greatest failure in leadership ever in American history. No truth is bigger than the failure of this president to serve and to protect the country. Does this Failure in Chief deserve another term? Can America afford another term?
