Bush's Successes

Dear Reader,
I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow Americans
saying that the presidency of George W. Bush is a
failure. With the string of successes he's had,
nothing could be further from the truth. Let me list a
few:
1. He has successfully rid America of that troubling
budget surplus and turned it into a $500 billion
deficit.
2. He has successfully helped America's trading
partners have the highest trade surplus with us in
America's history.
3. He has successfully lowered the taxes for the
richest Americans and corporations at the expense of
99% of the American population.
4. He has successfully started another Viet Nam in
Iraq after lying to the whole world.
5. He has successfully pushed the price of gas up to
the highest level ever here in America.
6. He has successfully allowed American corporations
to dramatically increase their pollution.
7. He has successfully thrown about 10% of the
population out of work.
8. He has successfully allowed corporations to export
our best middle-class jobs.
9. He has successfully divided our country as never
before.
10. He has successfully driven our oldest allies away.
11. He has successfully united the terrorists as never
before (he said all along he was a uniter, not a
divider).
12. He has successfully broken his oath to uphold the
constitution of the United States of America.
13. He has successfully united Democrats (yay!) as
they haven't been for years (I told you he was a
uniter).
14. He has successfully driven me out of the
Republican party for the rest of my life.
You know, with a string of successes like that, it's a
wonder America is still standing.

Excellent post, Renee! One thing I have learned over my 15 or so years of following politics (11 as a registered voter) is that the vast majority of Democrats (no, not all)favor sucking the life out of the very people who create over 90% of the jobs in America:the so-called "wealthy."

Clear this up for me: Clinton's tenure when he taxed the wealthy more, and cut for the middle class, how did all those jobs get created?
Shortly after giving a tax cut, Reagan raised taxes on the wealthy did he not?
I must say that I must lean more to the Dem side of things. But then, Canada is a fairly liberal country. Even so, liberal Canadians aren't totally like the Democrats either. We have more than two parties here. I keep thinking that for a country as large and diverse as the US you should have more parties. I don't think the two party system is serving everyone very well. How about one that kind of marries the two philosophies?

The economy expanded in spite of Clinton, not because of him.

Then explain it, I'm in my too dumb to understand what's not posting mode today.
You notice, that one standard by her applied to clinton, didn't apply to Reagan.
The other thing that I noticed is how he spent 20 minutes on his service, which should be noted, but he devoted 2 minutes to the past 19 1/2 years of his life in the Senate. I guess he didnt have much to talk about there....
