No Class

George W Bush was the worst President in my life time and probably the worst ever. I have however lost no respect for him. I have never respected him. The more I see of him, the less respect I have for republicans. This man was obviously not fit to be president. He had run the two companies his daddy gave him into the ground. He could not find oil in the middle east for christ sakes. He can not even speak the language. At least the asshole, Reagan, could do that.

George W. Bush, on his yet-to-be written memoir: "I'm going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there's an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened."

Idiots everyone of them.

Monument To Bush

Monument to Bush shoe-throwing shines at Iraqi orphanage(CNN), originally uploaded by MashGet.

I remember in the beginning of Bush's illegal war in Iraq, the republican tools on the TV saying that there would be Bush statues in Iraq. Well there is a monument to the man who thew a shoe at him. It is a perfect symbol of republican rule.

Good News

Science is back! Obama is going to reverse a Bush decision to not grant a waiver to California and 13 other states suing to regulate tailpipe emissions.

WASHINGTON — President Obama will direct federal regulators on Monday to move swiftly on an application by California and 13 other states to set strict automobile emission and fuel efficiency standards, two administration officials said Sunday.

The directive makes good on an Obama campaign pledge and signifies a sharp reversal of Bush administration policy. Granting California and the other states the right to regulate tailpipe emissions would be one of the most emphatic actions Mr. Obama could take to quickly put his stamp on environmental policy.

Mr. Obama’s presidential memorandum will order the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider the Bush administration’s past rejection of the California application. While it stops short of flatly ordering the Bush decision reversed, the agency’s regulators are now widely expected to do so after completing a formal review process.
Auto makers complain that they will have to make two different types of cars. This is not true.

The car makers could do the right thing and make all the cars to the California standard.
Update: Here is a list of the fourteen states. CA(11.95%), NY(6.31%), PA(4.06%), NJ(2.84%), WA(2.52%), AZ(2.07%), MA(2.11%), MD(1.84%), OR(1.23%), CT(1.15%), NM(0.64%), ME(0.43%), RI(0.35%), VT(0.20%). They make up 37.7% of US population. If you add the six states that Kos diarist populista says are considering joining, you get 51.87% of US Population. Those states are FL(5.97%), NC(3.08%), MN(1.70%), CO(1.59%), IA(0.98%), UT(0.87%). The population percentages come from this wikipedia page.

Worst President Ever

I have my disagreements with Harry Reid but I agree with this. GW Bush is the worst President ever. He states again the worst President ever after republican tool David Gregory asks if he wants to take the statement back.

Throwing Shoes At Bush

It would be funny, if it was not so sad. Does Bush think people in Iraq like him. Is the bubble that complete? The shame that man has brought to this great country. For the cultural signifigance of throwing a shoe at someone i the Middle East here is Blue Girl.

That said, there is some cultural relevance to the act of throwing a shoe at someone in the Arab world. It carries an added meaning in Baghdad that it doesn't have in KC. Indeed, it is the gravest of insults in Iraqi culture. I have heard it said that an Iraqi would rather be hit by gunfire than a shoe. The attached symbolism can't - or at least shouldn't - be discounted. Even atheists in the Arab world remove their shoes when they enter their own homes, because someone may visit who wants to pray on their carpets. Carpets in the Arab world are more than an accessory to tie a room together - they are sacred objects, replete with meaning and symbolism, and not to be trampled across wearing shoes. With even modest cultural awareness, and I only have enough Anthropology in my background to make me dangerous - the significance of hurling a shoe at a head of state visiting Iraq is obvious. And I don't know whether to be amused and mirthful, or horrified that this man has so humiliated our country. To the point that shoes are thrown at him during his final press conference in the country that defines his "presidency."

Here Are The Shoes Flying

This is the end, kiss of death you dog. Yelled the shoe thrower.

Time To Go

George Walker Bush it is time to go. More and more people are going to be calling for his head. In Japan, the would be asking him to commit suicide, the honorable thing for a Samurai to do. Of course, Bush has no honor. Here is James Baker, who worked extra hard to get Bush selected by the Supreme Court.

"What we're seeing out there today is a lack of confidence," Baker told NBC News' "Meet the Press." "And the president-elect and, as a matter of fact, the current president have to face this problem over the next 60 days."

Praising Obama's appointment of "some extraordinarily capable people," Baker said that "something very useful might even come out of the two of them (Obama and Bush) sitting down together and addressing ... (the) stability of our financial system."

As Maha says how much money did he loose in the stock market? Co-presidents? Not going to happen. Anything Bush can do to make Obama's job harder he will. Bush does not care about America. He cares only for himself.

Even Little Tommy Friedman is getting into the act. Remember Tommy had so much patience for Bush's great and glorious war in Iraq, always asking for just six more months, that the term Friedman unit* was coined. But, I guess lossing 3.6 billion in just two months will do that to you.

*Term coined by economics professor Dr Duncan Black. Also Known as the blogger and DFH Atrios.

Consequences

No one will shake Bushes hand. He is not liked! It could not have happened to a more deserving ass.

The End Is Near Lets Cheer!

The devastation to the environment caused by Bush is coming to an end.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. conservation groups on Thursday hailed the imminent end of "environmental abuse and neglect" by the Bush administration and promised to work with President-elect Barack Obama to reverse this course.

"The Bush administration has done a lot of damage to our nation's environmental protections over the last eight years," said Mike Daulton, the National Audubon Society's legislative director.

"And nowhere is that more evident than the Bush administration's drilling policies, which have been slanted dramatically toward the oil industry."

Bush's Sacrifice

He has sacrificed a lot.

Uniter

George W Bush has united us as a nation. We are united in our disapproval.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush his handling his job as president.

"No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

"Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon (22 percent and 24 percent, respectively) but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s," Holland added. "The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling was set by Truman, 66 percent disapproval in January 1952."

CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider adds, "He is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from the presidency in August 1974." President Nixon's disapproval rating in August 1974 stood at 67 percent.

If he were a democrat, the media would be howling for his resignation. He has not been over 50% approval for 39 months also a record.

George W Bush Sewage Plant

The people of San Fransisco are thinking about renaming their sewage treatment plant in honor of George W Bush. It sounds like a fitting memorial to me.

Bush Vs Obama

Juan Cole has a good article about Bush and Obama. It all boils down to this.

Obama did the right thing in coming clean. Bush did the wrong thing in obscuring the truth. Obama demonstrated leadership. Bush showed himself a political and moral coward, and a hypocrite.

Its good. Read the whole thing.
