Today in Bush History, 1/10 ...
Bush History-Bush's Idea of Supporting the Troops: No Wonder the GOP Runs from Bush, 1/10

Bush's "key piece of evidence" on WMDs is publicly shot down on this date (2003), though that doesn't stop Bush from continuing to use it to sell us on his war.

Also, some ways that commander-in-chief Bush 'supported' the troops in 2007 are reviewed (2008).

Given this and other Bush actions it's little wonder that prominent GOPers are running from the Bush record (2008).

More details, from the 2009 Bush Blunder Calendar ...

Default Bush History-Bush's Iraq Obsession, & Your Tax Dollars to Iraqi Sheiks, 1/12

Today in Bush History, 1/12 ...
Bush's Iraq Obsession and Your Tax Dollars to Iraqi Sheiks

More on Bush's Iraq obsession (2003), from yet another Bush insider (see yesterday for more, from a second Bush source). And a related Bushism.

Also, a report (2008) on your tax dollars flowing to Iraqi Sheiks. There's a lot of things we can't afford here at home, but we can apparently spend millions to 'reward' the men who used to blow up our soldiers in Baghdad.

Default Bush History-Protecting Corrupt GOPers Prioritized Over Convicting Criminals?, 1/13

Today in Bush History, 1/13 ...
Better to Let Criminals Get Off than Allow Investigations of the GOP?

Bush's infamous pretzel incident occurred on this date in 2002.

In the news in 2007, blow back from an angry FBI agent: Bush's Justice Dept seems to prioritize protecting corrupt GOPers over putting criminals in jail.

And it might not be torture to Bush, but even Bush insiders agree that Bush OK'ed waterboarding sounds like torture to them (2008).

Default Bush History-Scientists & Military Brass Explain Harm Caused by Bush Policies, 1/14

Today in Bush History, 1/14 ...
Scientists & Military Brass Explain Harm Caused by Bush Policies

In the news on this date: Scientists talk of the harm caused by Bush appointees who "fabricate" science to the benefit of industry and harm of the environment (2008).

Also in 2008, the military brass talks of US harm caused by Bush's Gitmo policies. Admiral Mike Mullen: "I'd like to see it shut down ... it's been pretty damaging".

And a Bushism.

Default Bush History-A Pretend Cowboy, A Science Lie, An Iraq Admission, & Inflation-1/15

Today in Bush History, 1/15 ...
A Pretend Cowboy, A Science Lie, An Iraq Admission, & Economic Failure

Bush takes a hit for his pretend-cowboy persona from a prominent GOPer on this date in 2000 (with related yee-haw Bushisms).

Also, a Bush campaign promise is made on respecting science, a promise soon to be broken (2000).

In 2007 we find the president finally admitting to some of his oh-so-obvious Iraq failures, and in 2008 we have a Bush failure on inflation.

You can certainly do so. Maybe Obama will redeem himself by bringing back that Arabian horse dealer to run Homeland Security's crucial FEMA department. Yes, we will all miss that fine Bush judgement that gave us 'Brownie', amongst other disasters.

But, I'm not here to defend Obama. He's not even president yet. Time will tell what kind of president he will be, though it will be almost impossible to be as bad as Bush, of course. Admitedly, it is an almost impossible task to be that abysmal.

Default Bush History: Bush Admin Working Hard, Going All Out ... for Enron, 1/16

Today in Bush History, 1/16 ...
Bush Admin Working Hard, Going All Out ... to Promote the Interests of Enron-1/16

A letter on this date (2002) draws attention to the fact that the Bush admin. has been working hard, going all out, pulling all the stops to promote the interests of the likes of Enron. This was, of course, prior to all the criminal charges against the now defunct company, but after 'Kenny Boy' and other Enron interests had oh-so-generously lined the Bush campaign's pockets.

Also, a bloody day in Iraq (2007).

Default Bush History: A Hero Born, A Disgrace Takes Office, & the Brave Die-1/17

Today in Bush History, 1/17 ...
A Nation's Hero is Born, A Nation's Disgrace Takes Office, & the Brave Die for His Mistakes

On this date: a national hero is born in Boston (1706) and a national disgrace first takes public office, in Texas (1995).

Also, a grim death milestone is set in Iraq (2004), while a 2007 report reveals Bush admin arrogant miscalculation, which could could well have contributed to the US death toll Iraq.

Finally, in 2008 Bush gives a man who is no friend of democracy high praise.

Default Bush History: GOPers Beg Bush to Show Leadership, & Bush Atty Gen. Loses It-1/18

Today in Bush History, 1/18 ...
GOPers Beg Bush to Show Real Leadership, & Bush's Attorney General Loses It

While newspapers describe an Iraq that is a mess on this date in 2006 George 'stay the course' Bush paints a different picture.

Also in 2006, GOPers from previous administrations beg Bush to start showing real leadership.

Come 2007 Bush Atty Gen. Gonzales makes a truly bizarre argument in Congress, and a Bush misstep with China comes back to haunt him.
