George Bush's Legacy

In case you missed it, the decision to sue Microsoft was initiated under the first Bush. Microsoft failed to live up to the consent decree they signed. Anyone that blames Clinton is attempting to rewrite history.

In case you didn't notice the last couple of years have been marked by a devastating 20% drop on the DOW and NASDAQ caused by the devastating crisis in the home mortgage sector which had been the primary engine of growth in the 00s. If Clinton is responsible then Bush is also responsible for the present economy. Investors bought mortgage backed securities they had no idea about.

The NASDAQ dropped from over 5000 to 2500 in just one year. Half of the value of these companies was wiped out. Gone.

Nope. Half of the value of the NASDAQ was wiped out. Some of the companies were completely wiped out and some dropped 20%.

Investors bought stocks they had no idea about.

Let me draw your kind attention. The subject of this thread is about a person who is despicable, deplorable, detrimental .And his nasty, dirty, barbaric legacy.

In no other country this kind of person will get that much attention as in USA.

keep aloof if you have no moral ethical, civil courage.
Truth hurts

I had disapproved your two party system which is controlled by lobbyists and corporate CEOS.
Your political system is rotten to the core.

That must be why everyone wants to move here.

When we look back, Bush will stand for:

Death - Over 100,000 innocent Iraqis dead.
Destruction - Iraq still lacks electricity and security.
Diminishment of the USA and the dollar The world community sees the US in less favorable light. The US dollar plunge is the first of its kind in this modern world.
Environmental damage Bush was never a environmentalist.
World hatred We've lost many former allies, and most of the Arab world now hates us for our occupation of Iraq.
Transfer of wealth upward The wealthy got wealthier while the middle-class and the poor lost ground during the past seven years.
Banking and real estate crises Not since the great depression has our banking system and home equity shown such huge losses.
Stupidity Everything Bush touched turned into a disaster.
Poor speech Bush is an embarassment as the leader of our country.
Degradation of our government Both the president and congress has some of the lowest performance rating in modern times.
Corruption There's been more republican public servants charged with crimes - including child molestation and bribes.
Partisanship Another lie from Bush; "I'm a uniter, not a divider."
Etc.
