BULLETIN: Bush will always be responsible for the terrible damage he has done to this planet, even after it is fixed, assuming that all of it ever can be.

It is only an illustration of the staggering hypocrisy of the right-wing that they would abandon their once-cherished principles of Accountability® and Personal Responsibility® with regard to Bush, and do so barely three weeks after his leaving office. The man and his minions were guilty of epic Poor Decisionmaking® that darkened the life of nearly every living human being and ended that of many. Out, out, damned spot? I don't think so. Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan will win parole before Bush does...

Congress mostly, with Bush winking and cheering them on.

And now Congress, with Obama winking and cheering them on, will be responsible for adding to it rather than taming it.

Change we can believe in.

The history books in the PS may say that, but every other source will say "After 9/11 GWB kept us safe until......" and "The economy was in a historically mild recession that would have been corrected with tax cuts and responsible spending until......" That's where your guy comes in. It's isn't news when nothing happens. It doesn't make the annuls of history until someone really screws up.

Those who put the entire blame of the 9-11 attack even though those terrorists came into the USA when Clinton was in the White House will blame Bush even after 4 years of Obama's presidency.

They've already begun blaming the Republicans for the Stimulus bill disaster that's coming.

As my dh says, the reason that Conservatives get called hypocrites is that they have values, morals and ethics. However, they are human and so will make mistakes. Any mistake or "sin" makes them a hypocrite.

Liberals, on the other hand can never fail to live up to their ideals as they have no value system and stand for nothing in the first place.

Liken them to 2 kids in gym class. They are told that today they are going to do as many sit ups as they can and over the next 2 weeks, they will repeat it. Whoever improves the most, wins. The Conservative tries hard and does 40. The Liberal kid doesn't really try and does 5. The following week, the Conservative kid knocks out 44... a 10% improvement in just one week. The Liberal child manages 10... and wins with 100% improvement. The following week, this is repeated. The Conservative kid only manages 43 and is seen as failing for not making improvement over last week. The Liberal kid manages 15, and he is given an A for having 150% improvement, even though he STILL hasn't done half the work, or put in half the effort of the Conservative child. Even though the teacher knows he cheated, he still gives him credit for being smart enough to cheat and belittles the other child for not being smart enough to set aside his values.

These were diabolically planned out fully intentional treasonous acts carried out by Bush while Cheney and Rumsfeld pulled the strings. Their base of Neocons cheered them on every step of the way.
You're spending so much time and energy creating this straw man to distract us from the fact that Democrats haven't come up with a new idea since the disastrous "New Deal" that kept us in a depression long after the rest of the world had recovered from it. Add to that fact that Democrats have either directly, or indirectly, taken us into every war we've been involved in for the past 100 years with Republicans cleaning up the mess, and I have to agree with you that "screw ups" doesn't cover it. It doesn't cover it since Democrats don't learn from their "screw ups". They are too busy blaming Republicans. Democrats have a learning disability.

You still don't get it and sadly you never will if you haven't gotten it by now. The eight years of the Bush Crime Family reign was not a matter of politics and party affiliation. Yes, there was a hijacking of the Republican Party by Neocon thugs and they did use politics as a means to an end, but this a bonafide crime family opearting under the guise of a legit administration and folks such as yourself bought it hook line and sinker. Many of us that are screaming for them to be brought to justice supported Bush after 9/11, but were tuned in enough to eventually understand that we were duped and America was sucker punched. The dots connected themselves. We were lied to, our treasury was robbed with no bid contracts via Hell-iburton, Blackwater to finance an illegal occupation of Iraq. They spat and urinated on our Constitution. The bogus adminstration did not come to govern, they came to plunder! Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, Gonzales and the rest of the thugs and Neocon pigs never can and never will be forgiven for crimes against humanity that are unforgivable!
