“Not Exactly the Midas Touch”
Everything that George W. Bush has touched since becoming President seven years ago has been a disaster. The economic crisis we now face brings America full circle to the carnage created by the very worst person to ever occupy the Oval Office. As a result of Mr. Bush’s failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are reviled around the world by friend and foe alike. These wars have caused the deaths of almost five thousand brave young American soldiers, and countless Iraqi and Afghan civilians, not to mention all the physically and emotionally wounded and the millions of refugees set adrift by the policies of Bush. The President has allowed over five million people to die in the Congo, and some two million in Darfur, without so much as lifting a finger to stop the killing, disease and starvation in those lands.
Mr. Bush has tried his hand at immigration reform, healthcare coverage, energy policy, and environmental issues, all with little or no success. As a result almost fifty million Americans do not have access to quality affordable healthcare. Our borders are wide open leaving us vulnerable to terrorists entering the country. We aid our enemies around the world by purchasing their oil because Bush and Cheney have not done anything to develop alternative sources of energy. Bush has single-handedly done more damage to the environment than all the presidents that came before him combined.
In a twisted sense the looming recession keeps this delusional, disinterested and despicable man relevant when he should already be a footnote in history. It is actually harder to fail at everything, than to be successful some of the time. In a very convoluted way, Bush has actually succeeded at failing!
