Bush's Legacy
My father-in-law challenged me to name one positive about Bush's term in office. It's taken me 4 years, but I've finally put my finger on it.

He was great for job creation.
Historians worldwide will find employment criticizing his reign for the next thousand years.

Economically, jobwise, it would be better for the US with McCain. In any other way, Obama bin Laden is better.

The one success of his legacy will be the fact that Libya moved away from going nuclear. They were scared of him going cowboy on their ass.

Mind you.. that same legacy is what caused nations like North Korea and Iran to pursue nuclear ambitions.

i believe obama is better for the world (and hope so.)
i'm happy we won't have to use the next 4 years proving climate change isn't caused by mankind, since in my book this would have meant eradication of humanity to see whether the climate still went the way it does now.

I'm glad the world will become a better place once Bush the clown leaves office. McCain would be better than Bush but then what would not? I'm glad the americans chose the positive candidate and not another in the line of mud throwing republicans...

Out of all the good things he did, I'd say the one biggest was preventing more major attacks on the US. When the Trade Centers went down, Osama didn't dance around saying "yeah! I've acheived my life's work, now I can retire!"

The original 911 plan was suppose to have 10 planes hijacked simultaneously. Five would hit East coast targets, 5 West. Osama nix'd the plan as being too hard to coordinate and decided two strikes and instead of one. The first, East Coast...the second would be the West.

However, they severely underestimated President Bush's retaliation. Afterall, Clinton merely sent a few FBI after him from his first Trade Center attack. Which is understandable considering he had much more importance business...such as sodomizing young women. Instead, al Queda quickly found themselves running for their lives and the second attack couldn't be launched.

So, Bush's biggest accomplish I'd say would be saving literally 50,000 lives in California. Ironically, despite 50,000 people owing him their very lives, they probably showed their gratitude by voting for Kerry and Obama...proving once again no good deed goes unpunished.

The man has single handedly done more to increase terrorist attacks, raise tensions in the Middle East and make America as unpopular as its ever been. After 9/11 he had the opportunity to make the world a lot more sympathetic to America and succeeded in further alienating pretty much every country he dealt with. Yeah, no good deed goes unpunished.....moron!
