The Bush Memorial Shoe
-
Another project brought to you by George Soros, or some equally well heeled lefty Bush hater.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

I think the lefties hate him because he was a recession denier[^] for far too long. If they had acted in time, some of this could have been averted.

There are so many of them, aren't there, Stan? Do you check each night to see if any are hiding under your bed?

'The president, appearing sceptical, urged Congress to let last month's tax rebates "have a chance to kick in". ' It would seem that the primary purpose of the tax rebates was to give enough of a boost to the economy to make the crash that Bush, Paulson, and friends saw coming hold off until after January 20th. Unfortunately, just as Bush refused to spend the money needed to buy the weapons we needed to occupy Iraq, he reused to spend enough money to hold the debacle off until he was out of office (and could sell off his stocks.)

I'd say the last couple of months has pretty much validated that perspective.

Just for the sake of argument, I don't think he was denying any recessions in 2000, but I could be wrong. Or do you think they only started hating him in the last 2 or 3 years?

I've hated him all along.

What sane reason would he have had to do either one of those?

They probably hated him before that for being a righty.

Winning Elections. Keeping the costs down at any price to our soldiers seemed to be an administration priority before the 2004 election - you think maybe getting reelected had something to do with it? Postponing the crash would have been a great favor to John McCain. Even you might remember that until the economy blew up in our face, McCain was running neck and neck with Obama.

In 2002 Bush had a 90% positive rating by the American people. Either "true lefties" represent only 10% of the population or it was Bush's actions and not some knee-jerk reaction to Republicans that caused him to lose the approval of 65% of America. Certainly the recognition of the incompetence of the Bush Administration was well underway more than two or three years ago, but a lot of it can be traced back to the governmental response to Katrina on August 29th, 2005. "You're doing a great job, Brownie!" turned out to be words that would come to haunt him far more than his word flubs ever did.

That doesn't make any sense at all. He was getting hammered for not having our forces properly prepared (which wasn't true to begin with. Our force that went into Iraq was better prepared than any force we have ever sent anywhere).

You are actually trying to suggest that the Bush administration cleverly tried to keep the economy going until some predetermined point in the future? Thats fucking insane, Jon.

One of Goebbels big lies in action. Your claim was controverted - at the time Bush was shortchanging the troops - by Generals testifying under oath and by John McCain. Even Rumsfeld found only the weak excuse, "sometimes you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want." You try so hard to rewrite history, Stan, but all you end up doing is looking like a fool.

Yes. I am glad you finally understand what I am saying. It only took me two tries to get through to you this time.

I agree, but that seems to be what he did. By the way, you can have the last word. I've made my point and you can yammer all your buzzwords as long as you wish. I've got more important things to read - like my laundry list.
