listen to what bush has accomplished

The OP is the same guy who said in another thread "The only power he has is the power of veto"...So are you not giving credit to someone you said dosnt deserve it. Credit is credit GOOD or BAD!!!!!!

The negative, un-Constitutional things that he has done outweigh the few good things that he has done.

i'll give you that
how about look at what his presidency has accomplished

please explain all the unconstitutional things he's done

the patriot act

and the bailout

he could have vetoed them

Wiretapping, the prison camp.

Also, we didn't need to go to Iraq.

the patriot act made it legal

It's my impression some of you here probably boycotted Busch beer just because you believe it was named after or sounds too close to the name of the President.

Is it too much to ask for a modicum of critical thinking here before bashing Bush? Have some of you never taken a government/civics class? I'm willing to overlook organic brain dementia and genetic shortcomings; However, not sheer stupidity.

First, contrary to popular belief, we do not live in a dictatorship. It is my belief and understanding the ONLY thing the president can do without congressional reproach of ANY kind is the authority to launch nuclear weapons. Executive orders/Presidential proclaimations can be challenged. Veto's can be over-ridden or redressed (as in the pocket veto). Behind EVERY "Bush" policy there is a congressman/woman, democrat, republican, and independent alike who are equally complicit towards it's enactment.

To blame the president solely for economic/housing woes is inane. That responsibility falls squarely upon the shoulders of congress and the subcommittees. Granted, the president has "line-item veto power"; However, those powers were granted by congress.

The perceived losses of freedom, rights, and liberties. Those laws originate from where? Congress. (see link below)

In matters of the military. The president is the commander in chief. It is he who has the power and authority to deploy troops. Congress is in charge of the funding and has the ability to stop ALL military actions ordered by the president by halting or defunding at ANY time.

While I am thoroughly enjoying watching myself type, I believe some of this may be too difficult for some of you to comprehend... so I'll make it simple by providing this youtube clip. Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill".

I'm all for accountabilty regardless of the party affilation; However, I believe placing it on the appropriate individual(s) as well.

All I have to say is that the good bye is 8 years too late but I guess better late than never and don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

I'm in St. Louis. Busch headquarters. We love our Anheuser Busch.

My statements were formed by critical thinking, observation, and research.

I have something even better then that though. I was raised with manners and don't like to put people down, be rude or call them names because they have a different opinion from mine. I also don't do that because I am secure with myself.
