Were we too hard on George W. Bush?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Poll question: Were we too hard on George W. Bush?

[grasswire]

1. who is "we"?

?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. The 'murcan people, saved by George W. Bush with his mighty bullhorn and cowboy rhetoric

We KNOW that Osama bin laden would be pissing his PANTS after viewing the MIGHTY image of Goerge W. Bullhorn Bush...if he actually WORE pants.



So he's pissing his burka, his caftan, his mu-mu....he's pissing SOMETHING. Because you don't want a Bush-sized can of whup-ass smoking you out of your cave.

:rofl:

2. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!

I am very strongly tempted to "un-rec" your thread!

But, since I don't believe in it, I won't...

:P

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. Nah, don't un-rec it, it's a loaded question

I just wanted to see a zillion "warm place in hell" votes.

:rofl:

[question everything]

21. Thank you, California Peggy

for a voice of calm and reason

:hi:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

5. OK, who's the inbreed freep and/or smartass who voted for #1?

:rofl:

[Snarkoleptic]

10. There's a turd in the DU punchbowl....eeech!

[givemebackmycountry]

6. Other

Are you out of your freaking mind?

I rec'd ya anyway.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. See my response to CP above. It's a deliberately loaded question.

:patriot:

[bigwillq]

7. No.

The position of president if probably the most criticized of any in politics. GWB deserved the criticism. He was a failure.

[TroubleMan]

9. You can never be too hard on the Bush.

:spank:

11. The Bush Crime Family has an entire wing of Hell reserved for them

Prescott's already down there. Along with his buddy Adolf, and all the pawns, stooges, and associates who have since left this mortal coil (Nixon, Reagan, Jack Ruby, Osama, etc.)

[stray cat]

12. And yet DUers post that Obama is no different than Bush

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. Bush: "As you know, I inherited a recession"...

I don't recall the actual quote, and I'm too damned lazy to Google it, but DUers know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Bush claimed over and over and over again that Big Dog handed him a steaming pile on his way out the door.

And President Obama...a man who knowingly and willingly accepted Bush's hand-off...

...well, that's the difference between a "zero" and a "hero," isn't it?

President Obama's lasting legacy will be that he relentlessly sought the job in spite of the track record of his predecessor, not because of it.

:patriot:

[patrice]

13. Not just No, but HELL NO! Fuck No! #(*^*&^%$$&#&%)+&^&%!#}@\#!!! NO! Never! not ever hard enough!!!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

17. And that's excactly the reaction I wanted when I posted this.

:patriot:

The post, for people who haven't figured it out yet, is a raised middle finger to the "Obama hasn't done enough" crowd.

Anyone who feels that President Obama hasn't done enough in his first 10 months needs to carefully examine EIGHT YEARS of George W. Bush.

14. If you don't think the smoking wreckage of a looted economy wasn't intentional

you weren't paying attention. We'll be cleaning up after the Bush /Reagan axis of evil for generations.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. It was...pigs at the trough.

Gotta say that I'm stunned over the fact that the irony of this post slipped through the cracks.

I'm guessing it's due to the fact that people who have missed the irony aren't that familiar with my tenure on DU.

That's fair.

But anyone who seriously believes that I was asking if we were too tough on Bush...

...are you fucking kidding me? I guess the photo I included in my original post wasn't a big clue. The asshole's hoisting a drink. GET IT?

:patriot:

[Cha]

25. lol!

Poor widdle bush..jebby says we shouldn't blame him:silly:

[Clintonista2]

22. What's sad is, the destroyed economy is only a small part of the destruction shrub unleashed upon

the world.

[Cha]

26. How 'bout our Prez,

Capn?!B-) Can you believe it..thinking back to this time last year? Whew!

[quiet.american]

15. If that were a serious question, I'd say "on what planet do you spend most of your time?" :) nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. Thanks for being among the few who understands it wan't a serious question.

I've gotta say, I am fucking STUNNED at some of the reactions here. Just fucking STUNNED.

[quiet.american]

23. Cheers -- sometimes you have to "closed caption" these kinds of posts w/a sarcasm smiley. :) nt

20. Do you mean chimpy mcflightsuit,

gods gift to republican women?

[madamesilverspurs]

24. Does he still have skin on?

If so, then no we weren't.

[harry_pothead]

27. As a teacher trainee, I often ask the same question that Bush asked

Is our children learning?

[rustydog]

28. America was wayyyy too easy on Bush. He should be rotting in prison

[and-justice-for-all]

29. That piece of shit fuck bastard can kiss my ass!! and the Dick he rode in on!

[IndianaGreen]

30. We were too easy on Bush

Bush and Cheney should have joined Saddam Hussein at the scaffold.

[DailyGrind51]

31. He's not in jail, so "we" have not been hard enough!

[ChiciB1]

32. His Hypocrisy Knows NO Bounds!! I Could Go On Almost Forever About

how deep my dislike is for just this ONE man! I won't even begin, but he brings out the very WORST in me should I even begin!

And even THAT I hold against him because I really don't WANT to have such overwhelmingly horrible thoughts about ANYONE!!
