Or something like that but I was appalled to see that the OP wasn't joking and that there were people who actually agreed with him.
IMHO George W Bush is an insensitive, ignorant, foolish puppet. Even if he really does run the country- at the least he's his dad's puppet. At least. He's a fool. He saw over loads of executions when he was Govenor and hes just a simple-minded tw*t. He doesn't give a damn about the Iraqi people. He couldn't care less and honestly I doubt he cares that much about the American people. Him and his administration are a disgrace to humanity. They dont even care about their own people enough to give them healthcare. Its disgusting.

Sigh. I can't believe so many people with so many intelligent things to say were baited into rambling on with this inane George Bush arguing...
I thought this was the Almighty ATS! All of you who so predictably jumped in with your "Yeah, THANK you!" sarcasms and your "What, you're thanking the man who..." outbursts that 768687680769679 people have been spouting for 8 years; come on, I thought all you guys were conspiracists! I'm from Canada and know bupkus about American government/history, but I know enough to know that the President himself has verrry little to do with all these decisions that are being made.
I think that the President being essentially a figurehead is as obivious to all of you as to me. Bush was a loser just like the last several U.S. Presidents. He just happened to be in power when some major shifts were decided to be put in motion by whomever the powers that be really are. Do you think that if someone else was in office in 2001, that anything would have happened differently? That is, differently enough to have changed the course of how things played out? Of course not. Do you think the 2nd Iraq invasion was plotted up by ol' Dubyah around the campfire POST 911? Come on! I thought you all thought he was stupid.
Do you honestly think the absolute mess of America's immigration, education, healthcare, etc, would've been magically untangled to any signifigant degree by whatever other schmuck was "voted" to "lead" the country?
Bush was the same as any other President in my book. There are always wars, economic movements, etc, in motion years before these world leaders end up in power, it's just a matter of timing as to what man/woman happens to give the speech. These things weren't his "fault". They happened under his watch, but, really, did he have enough swing to really change anything? Aren't there channels that bills and things go through?
I'm just sick of these slogan-shouters wasting time on such a useless topic. You're playing into exactly what anti-Libs insult Libs for. I think you guys know the solutions to America's ills won't be found in the voting booth for President when all you have to choose from is the Demopubes.
