What did you guys like about the Bush administration?
The Osama bin Laden incident has some people celebrating Dubya's involvement to which I give a qualified "POPPYCOCK." It got me thinking about my lack of perspective perhaps.
What I remember of the Bush administration is:
-The worst attack on U.S. soil with 3,000+ dead
-Two wars, only one of which was even semi-reasonable
-Medicare Part D (which exploded the deficit)
-Tax cuts for the wealthy (exploded the deficit)
-Policies that further restricted a woman's right to an abortion
-Deregulation and the continuation of "Everyone in a home" programs (admittedly started before his administration) which contributed to the housing crash
-The failures related to Hurricane Katrina.
-Politicization of the Justice Department
-Outing of a CIA operative for political reasons
I was HONESTLY trying to search for something where I could say, "Wow, he really helped out this country in a meaningful way." I came up with nothing...
Your turn!
