Bush hasn't lived by his own words

Posted: Saturday, October 04, 2008

LAWTON, Iowa -- Does anyone out there see the hypocrisy of our president lecturing the United Nations (and other world leaders) about the need to be effective: "Where there's inefficiency and corruption, it must be corrected. Where there are bloated bureaucracies, they must be streamlined. Where members fail to uphold their obligations, there must be strong action." These would have been good principles to have applied to the country he has been running for the last eight years. Maybe we wouldn't be in the mess now if he had believed these words should have applied to himself as the leader of our country.

This is particularly embarrassing at a time when the whole world is looking at our legal and financial dirty laundry out on the line. -- Marie Farrell

" Douglas one thing is clear you simply want to blame the liberals for it all and can't bear to see cesspool of stupidity that the Republicans have basked in. I'd be happy to join you in blaming the Democrats where they deserve it but to engage in pure Monkey see no evil, monkey hear no evil, monkey speak no evil as you are doing is being part of the problem.

Both sides need to realize the have been complete idiots. Democrats have been a bunch of pansies and Bush's best secret friend giving the spoiled brat all he wants. The Republican's have foolishly held the belief Bush was a republican instead of waking up and realizing he is just clueless misguided fool giving spoiled brat all he wants. "

" Dano make that $11.32 trillion, when Bush took office it was at 5.8 trillion, we have added 5 trillion in just the last 8 years alone.

I think you were being quite nice in your list, fostering an environment that is helping cause the what may turn out to be the greatest financial collapse in history is yet another feather in his cap of failures. Oh we can point fingers at both parties and both deserve a fair share of it, but our Demander in chief pounded his fist month after month for more spending and more spending to which he got the rubber stamped by both parties. They all need to slide off into the ocean.

I always said it would take an complete idiot to cause a period of tribulations, I really hate being right. "

" Douglas,

Oh, we know very well why we hate Bush.

#1 The so called war on Terror in Iraq. The actual war is in Afganistan, or have you forgotten that Bin Laden is still free?

#2 Over the top Fuel prices. Bush is an oilman, you cant ever convince me that he didnt help this along for his old buddies in the United Arab Em.

#3 He let Chaney run the white house. Chaney is the puppet Master of the last 8 years. Bush is just the flunky.

#4 National debt at 10 Trillion dollars. Come on, we were in a surplus and on our way to being debt free when Clinton left office.

#5 All the lies, the spin and the political BS the repulicans and Bush have spewed for the last 8 years. They controlled the congress for 6 years and didnt go a damb thing, then blame it on the Dems.
They cant even take responsibility for thier failed policys, they just blame everyone else.

And the list goes on and on.... "
