Bush will walk away from all the disasters unscathed in 2008.

[KlatooBNikto]

This is what he does best and we need not expect anything different.The economy will be in ruins,many more lives will be lost in Iraq and elsewhere,the deficits,both budget and trade, will hit monster proportions,inflation feueled by the rise in cost of petroleum will start raging unchecked,medical insurance and prescription drugs will be out of reach for most people, and to top it all off, all our jobs will start disappearing.

And our idiot media will dress this man up in the clothes of Winston Churchill and call him a savior of the Western World against the Muslim Hordes.Why would the Muslims want to cause terror when we have a native destroyer of everything who is doing a bang up job?

[mopaul]

1. at this rate, they'll put him on mt. rushmore

as the greatest pres. of all time.

[indepat]

18. And name airports, buildings, and capital ships in his honor

[wakeme2008]

2. I am not sure this will happen

If we go into Iran, there will be major lost of life in the Military. This could be Bush's Waterloo

[BrainRants]

4. War with Iran (and/or) Seria is definitely the "wild card" here.

[NYC Liberal]

8. The same people who supported invading Iraq with support an Iran/Syria war

with as much fervor as Iraq.

"OK, Iraq was a mistake...but Iran/Syria is the REAL threat!"

[BrainRants]

9. At which time the obvious questions should be asked by everyone...

"Who will fight, and how the hell are we going to pay for it?"

I agree, the blind allegiance thing will kick in for the weak minded folks, but the necessary draft will change some minds.

[tavalon]

15. Answer

The poor peoples kids and we, you and I and all of our progeny out into the foreseeable future will be paying for it. And paying, and paying.........

[BrainRants]

3. Assuming the House or Senate don't swing Dem in '06

Then the hearings can begin.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. One promising hint that he may go down in shame:

During his second inauguration, the press was disgusted. It was noticeable. They called it a celebration for Bush and his supporters. I found that rather shocking because in my lifetime, I have never seen an inauguration where a president didn't move quickly to bring the country together and to promise to represent everyone. Bush simply didn't try to be anything but what he is. A president for conservative Americans. i.e. right-wing Republicans. So, as things disintegrate, so will the support for the hate mongerers on the right.

[KlatooBNikto]

7. I hope I am wrong and you are right.

On Edit: The track record of this man, from his birth tells me otherwise.He has led a privileged life in which he was never held accountable.The way he has been able to lie, cheat and steal his way into the Presidency tells me that he will do the same on his way out.

[booksenkatz]

13. I liked how the Rude Pundit phrased it yesterday

"...this son of privilege, who never suffered a day in his life, who had servants hired just to buff his balls after a bath..."

Well said, Rude Pundit! A daily must-read in my household, but he's not for everyone.

G.W. Bush proves for me that a person who has never known want, who has never known fear, who has never had to take responsibility for his bad decisions, who has never known hard work, will certainly turn out to be a pathetic excuse for a human being!

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. But....but....but.....Kerry is an ELITIST!

:argh:

[cybildisobedience]

23. They were disgusted?

How could you tell? All I saw were glowing reports of the pageantry, the regal bearing of our "First Family" and the throngs of adoring supporters.
What media were you tuned into?
I'd love to believe you were right about this.

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. I got a different impression.

All the channels had talking heads which appeared a bit standoffish about the ten inaugural balls. In fact, there was one female who scored high points on FoxNews by criticizing the administration's expensive celebration at a time when we weren't even providing enough protection for our soldiers in Iraq.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. The really fucked up utterance from that inauguration, to me, was

Prancing Preznit Precious calling it "an orderly transition of power" ...... huh?

Transition?

From what?

Dumb to dumber?

Bad to worse?

Screwed to royally fucked?

What transition? Did I miss something?

Was I napping?

[booksenkatz]

28. LOL!!! n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

30. Maybe they meant the transition from centrist Republican to

conservative extremist?

[BlueIris]

31. I agree that the press, even the conservative press IS disgusted.

Even the staff of my own notoriously unprofessional local paper, which has a staff that was hijacked by Republican right-wingers in the mid-90s, (up until then it had been at least decent in terms of its coverage--no huge bias in it, anyway) is providing noticeably broader discussions of political issues. It's also, shockingly, doing what I like to call "real" reporting. I now see stories about the war on its front page, and some things in the last few weeks I thought would NEVER make it to print in my little state--I've been shocked to see stuff the likes of which had only been featured on DU in the recent past, popping up in it. This is the last newspaper on earth I ever expected to try to break away from its corporate owners. Some of the reporters who write for it attended, but did not write about, the 200 person+ protests on our capital's steps the day the electoral college voted, and the looks on their faces reflected great shame. I still didn't expect to see major change as a result, but maybe I was wrong.

However, the media's masters are going to have to see an economic reason to enact any significant adjustments in their policies, I think, before anything happens--let along a total about-face. There are rumors that such a move is in the works, but I won't believe it until I see a big metro daily paper (L.A. Times, perhaps?) carrying more substantial news about Gannon and or Plame and their links to Rove, Cheney, et. al. So, still skeptical over here.

6. No..

.. Bush will not walk away from all his excessive disastrous follies unscathed. That's not possible because they affect everyone.

His daughters, like all young people, will have to live in a world made far worse by his actions and policies.

Every person in the USA will have to wake up from their mind-numbing addictions to face a world that is far more difficult to navigate and survive in.. and the only ones to blame will be Bush and Co. and their hordes of mindless, cable tv addicted, and fundie groupies.

11. He will be humbled

Maybe a lot of folks don't believe in astrology, but several astrologers think that he will implode this year or next, in public. His handlers won't be able to save him. Everything is going to come out, or something terrible will happen and it will finally expose him.

He will be disgraced.

[cybildisobedience]

26. I just can't see that.

I don't know what Bush could do in public or private that would cause the cult members that worship him to turn. Imagine the worst possible thing a human could do, and even that wouldn't matter to these people.
I really do believe it's a mental illness.

[driver8]

33. I hope you are right about him being humbled, but the problem is

that he simply doesn't give a shit. He does whatever he wants, passes the blame onto others, and has surrounded himself with "yes men" who never let him hear anything negative.

Bush is going to walk away from the presidency and a country in ruins with a big fat bank account. The mess will no longer be his and it will be someone else's job to clean it up.

He has never taken responsibility for anything in his life. I don't expect that to change.

[tavalon]

16. Bush's daughters,

having been born with the same silver coke spoon in their mouths will not actually have to deal with much at all. These people are untouchable by human suffering.

[fasttense]

10. As the right wingers

lose more of their jobs and can't find other work, can't get medical coverage, lose their money in the stock market, find their real estate has lost half it's value, they will come back on brush. He will not walk away from the mess he creates. In 2007, you just watch the fireworks. It's all going to come back on him.

[madinmaryland]

12. Sounds like he will soon be awarding himself

a Medal of Honor! Then he will try to explain that he needs four more years.

A Catastrophic Failure

[G_j]

14. well supposedly

he now has the lowest approval ratings of any second term pres. on record. Of course that doesn't mean he still doesn't get away with 'murder' every single day.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

17. Unless he declares himself President for Life.

[JerseygirlCT]

20. Oh boy. I suspect you're right. But what

a crappy thought to start the day with!

[AzDar]

21. Not only will he go down in history as the worst President EVER, but

his is such a disastrous legacy (job loss, bankruptcy rape, unmanageable deficits, etc.)that I'm betting ALL things Republican
will be tainted for awhile.

[goodboy]

22. can't go on forever....teflon doesn't last forever.

[BlueIris]

32. He's in Kevlar, not teflon. Except...

even Kevlar doesn't make you invinceable. I don't like where we'd have to "hit" to take him down--FIGURATIVELY, ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE READING THIS--but it could still happen.

[stanwyck]

25. Here's one of the ways the Bushies succeed

just quit publishing the evidence. Jay Bookman (Atlanta Journal Constitution) has a great column today explaining how the Bushies make the evidence of their failures disappear. Joblessness? Quit publishing the figures. Terroristic acts more frequent? Quit publishing the figures. And there's more.
You have to laugh (through your tears)...one of the reasons they quit publishing the results of their abject failure is "wanting to save paper".
Yeah, they're so environmentally aware.

[earth mom]

27. Exactly and that goes hand in hand with

not allowing photographs of the coffins of the dead soldiers or keeping an accurate count as to how many soldiers have really died-because it's a helluva lot more than 1561 (got that figure from Michael Moores site) that's for sure. :grr:
