Excerpt from Yahoo! News ( http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080717/ap_on_go_pr_wh/pelosi_bush ):

House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer

President Bush has been a "total failure" in everything from the economy to the war to energy policy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. In an interview on CNN, the California Democrat was asked to respond to video of the president criticizing the Democratic-led Congress for heading into the final 26 days of the legislative session without having passed a single government spending bill.

Pelosi shot back in unusually personal terms.

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for "challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again."

Definitely the Democratic congress has failed to live up to its expectations but she's only been Speaker since Nov. 2006. While I'm not giving her a pass....that bumbaclot Bush has mucked it up for seven years...regardless of ANY irony, his dumb ass will go down as one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States. That is his legacy.

If you ignore a strong economy within that time(whether you want to admit it or not there was), unemployment at its lowest in years including during the entire previous administration, and directly dealing with an enemy that had been, for all intents and purposes, ignored using a military that had been previously stripped down to barely nothing, well then yeah, he mucked it up for seven years.

Well you've conveniently left out a War in Iraq that shouldn't have been fought, rising healthcare costs, broken immigration system, his lame ass Medicare Part D legislation, the White House's failed response to Katrina, one of the lowest approval ratings for a President since Truman, no action on a failing Social Security system, one of the most fiscally irresponsbile Presidents with a ballooning debt which has put us at the mercy of the likes of China which is financing our wars, etc., etc...yeah he's great.

I'm sure they'll replace Franklin with him on the 100 dollar bill.

War in Iraq - we can go on and on, but if you drop the internet chain letter BS then the decison at that time was right. Even the evidence commonly used against it suggests it so.
Rising healthcare costs - that's a private sector problem and always has been, unless you believe in the farce called nationalized healthcare. Nothing unique here.
Broken immigration system - old news from long, long ago. Will never change because both parties will lose their election base. Nothing unique here.
Medicare Part D - can't really argue with you here, but aren't you the one demanding the govenment to do everything for you?
Response to Katrina - Lot's of legal hurdles to jump that you apparently ignore or don't know. Response sucked and the administration has a lot to answer for, but the lionshare of the blame falls on the governor and mayor who sat on their hands when they should have been evacuating people or asking for help before.
Approval rating - only bested by an even lower Democratic Congress
Social Security - the system was a failure to begin with, and everyone rejects any reasonable(translation: anything that's not give me free money) alternatives
China - that started before this administration...sorry.

We can go on and on if you like, but I'm not even much of a supporter of this administration now. Just plenty of legitimate arguments that could be made that's not being made.

We can go on and on, but you've already ignored basic American Civics 101.


Chain letter BS...gimme a fuggin' break...no it wasn't the right response....
it was a disaster of epic proportions...in terms, lives, finance, and political capital....

By his own skewed logic, if it he wanted to attack the roots of radical Islam why didn't he attack Saudi Arabia...which anybody who knows shit knows they are principle propagators and financiers of fundamentalist thought in the Muslim world. He opted for political expedience not well-crafted policy. But you seem to find excuse for everything...attacking Iraq was the right decision...that is so laughable....even the bi-partisan 9/11 Commssion determined Iraq had no hand in the terrorist attack that spurred the war. As if any idiot needed to be told that.

Chill with your pedantic insults...please. Your interpretation of civics, notwithstanding.
