Gallup: Obama Approval Hits New Lows

The most major problem I had with W was his insistence on trying to act like a Christian in his dealings with dems; I don't even picture Jesus turning the other cheek to barbarians at the gates.

The SlicKKK/Algor team tried to steal the election in Florida and then gave W. zero time prior to his actual inauguration to do anything at all and trashed the whitehouse in the process of leaving so that the earliest W. could have had anything set up at all would have been May or June of 01, leaving him three months to hope that dug-in dem officials might somehow warn him about the gigantic danger to which eight years of KKKlintler malfeasance and the Gorelick/gorilla wall had exposed the nation.

W. tried to warn the country about the similarly extreme economic danger which Dodd/Frank/Fannie/Freddie had exposed the country to and nobody listened and he was basically shouted down.

In other words, despite any dislike I might have for George W. Bush, he is in no wise responsible for the present economic mess other than for agreeing to that original bailout.

At this juncture, America needs three or four big things and a few little things to return to a healthy economy. The big things include:

1. Energy independence.

2. As a necessary precondition to 1., the total destruction of the environmental/green movement. As in, "delenda est".

3. We need a rational system of money and banking as opposed to what we have now. Best description: www.webofdebt.com

4. We need a rational system of paying for health care and/or making it affordable. This would amount to several instances of what TR used to call "trust busting", most particularly getting rid of the junk lawsuits, the influence of the trial lawyers, and the CYA defensive medicine which goes with all that. The trial lawyers guild being a major pillar of financial support for the dem party doesn't help that one.

5. We need some sort of a fix to Dodd/Frank/Fannie/Freddie to render demoKKKrat instincts for social engineering powerless to **** up the nation's economy in future time.

Yes, Obama Sucks Worse Than Even Bush Himself

Formerman, did your parents have any kids that lived?

I'll say it again, I do not see any "adventure wars" which anybody could blame on W. The operations in Afghanistan and Iraq were reactions to 9-11 and the anthrax attacks which were related to 9/11.

Adventure wars since WW-II would include a couple of little SOF operations which Reagan conducted in South and Central America, a couple of little things like that which you could attribute to Ike and John Foster Dulles, and then Vietnam which was entirely the work of JFK and LBJ and, more recently, the Balkans wars under Slick and Albright and this present abomination in Libya.

The serious problem with adventure wars is clearly a democrat problem. Notice that I don't count Korea in the reckoning because one it was justified and two Harry Truman would be a Republican in today's world.

Again to my thinking the link between Saddam Hussein and the anthrax attacks which followed 9/11 is provable and the link with OK city is highly likely so that in the case of Iraq, something had to be done one way or other.

Granted it's far from obvious that what W. did was anywhere near optimal or even good but I believe he had no real options which he thought workable.

Now, if you put me in W.'s place starting from Jan 22 01, it's possible that 9-11 might not have happened since the list of dem officials who would have been heaved immediately would certainly have included Jamie Gorilla and it's possible the Gorilla wall might have been exposed and dismantled prior to August or September.

Nonetheless a permanent war with Afghanistan would not have been in the cards and in fact the notion of "War Inc." as a main driver for the US economy would have ended.

Assuming 9/11 had gone down while I was in the whitehouse, the American people would have been told the truth i.e. that we'd just been attacked by a religion and not a country, and what would have followed would have been appropriate, but not eternal.
