It isn't often that we see a lefty writer go soft on Bush bashing, but I have manged to find one. From Ted Rall "Sorry, Mr. Bush." That is the title. Among some of the statements that are in this piece should be something everyone sees.
"Bush was the biggest spender in history, running up a $1.8 trillion deficit with wasteful wars and tax cuts. But next to Obama, Bush was a tightwad. Glamour Prez hasn't been around six months, yet the Congressional Budget Office reports that he already has quadrupled the deficit by an extra $8.1 trillion. "The total debt held by the public [will] rise from 57 percent of GDP in 2009 to 82 percent (!) of GDP in 2019," reports U.S. News & World Report.
Obama is sinking us into financial oblivion 72 times faster than Bush."
And another that is good to see:
"Obama has done more damage than Bush. And no one's stopping him. Which makes him worse.
Sorry, Mr. Bush. If I'd known what was coming, I would've been nicer."
Bush did a lot to piss off Conservatives no doubt! There are many things that I would have been happy to see change. But we have had 8 years of no terrorism on our side of the pond. Unfortunately it came at a cost in money and lives. But the way the money is being spent now has nothing to do with National Defense. Its a refund for everyone that paid to get this guy elected. This is one writer that is starting to see what this "window dressing" of a President is fully capable of.
