Nah, he probably was just trying to remember how to pronounce 'goat.'

how can there be 7 minutes of silence in a 6 minute video?

All you offer is hardcore right wing rants, so I want you to answer this question.

When Reagan adopted Carter's fiasco and the unemployment rate peaked over 2 YEARS into Reagan's presidency, whose policies did you blame?


Something tells me it wasn't the Gipper.

Just how does Tricky Dick avoid mention in Carter's economic woes.

Letting the dollar fly didn't have any effects?

Nice deflection, but the thread is about BUSH.
I suppose you've never seen my comments about Nam, have you?
I'm already against the next war.
It is about Bush. You made it about war and families losing loved ones
I was responding to the war part.

About the "next war": If Obama starts it, are going to despise him as you do Bush?

I was talking about Bush, btw.

When a disaster destroys multiple states and cities simultaneously, incapacitating city governments, it's time for the feds to step in and help.

Thankfully, Bush appointed a good buddy with vast horse experience and who sent joking emails about rolling his sleeves up to make it look like he was working hard.

Old news, but the blood of over 1,000 people cannot be washed from Bush's hands on that one.

I would like people who actually think Bush was a good President to list the reasons they think this. Talking tough and looking the part no more makes a good President than speeches Obama give make him a good President (and at least he can speak without butchering the English language, like his predecessor did)

We saw record job losses under Bush, he tripled the size of the federal government (real conservative) he spent like a drunken sailor and racked up an incredible debt, he ignored Afghanistan to invade Iraq and Iraq never attacked us or even posed even a remote threat to the United States. He circumvented the U.S. Constitution with a record number of "signing statements" and he illegally spied on the American people.

His wars have led to the deaths of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people and the world hates America much like its does the Bush Administration's closest ally for 8 years, Israel.

He made himself look like a fool everytime he opened his mouth, and his polices led to a financial earthquake still felt round the world, right along with the war and misery and over 4 million refugee's in Iraq.

And dont forget his constant fixation on Iraq and daily warning of dire threats posed by Saddam Hussein when he posed no threat and over 3000 Americans were killed by Al Qaeda, who's leader he allowed to escape from Tora Bora and remains free today. And those are just his most egregious offenses, he has a laundry list of lesser offenses

So perhaps someone can list what he did that really makes you like what he accomplished in 8 years, and why we are better off after 8 years of him?
