Below are links to pages that have comprehensive charts that show the poor state of the US economy under George W. Bush:

How can anyone of even minimual intelligence see these reports and not become sick at what this ass hole has done to the country. Have the FOR SALE signs gone up at the borders yet?

:mad:

Bush might as well be an Exxon Mobil lobbyist (and only that). This president is desrtoying our human resourses, our natural resourses, our overseas policy, and our moral as Americans (and he's doing it with his eyes wide open). He has no right as a president to ignore the needs of his citizens, nor the right to profit from those needs not being met. We as people have to remember that the strength lies in the numbers, how much longer are we going to stand around and let this darwinistic failure continue to run our society into the ground? He has already done unrepairable (is that a word?) damage to our countries right to be involved in international issues by forcing his way into ones where he wasn't wanted. This country was created so that people who wanted freedom from persecution could have someplace to go, not to be a bully to everyone else on the playground. to tell you the truth, I don't even know why we are in Iraq at this point (other that the fact that we made a horrible mistake by being there in the first place and now it's too late to leave)!!! We as a people have been told so many lies about our involvement in the middle east that I don't know what to believe anymore! I know that our involvement is trictly for oil profit (this much I have discovered myself), and if Bush had just said that in teh beginning it would have made the present day much easier to stomach. I still can't believe that in his election of 2004 he got OHIO. OHIO lost some 250,000 jobs in 2003. I'm starting to think Americans are just gluttons for punishment. Either that or just darwinistic failures like Bush. I guess I'm just confused. E-mail me personally if you have something to say on this (cohnjesse@gmail.com) thanks and have a super duper day.

Nice to have you with us, cohnjesse (I assume it's Jesse?). :

You've touched on a number of issues in your post, and believe me, we're with you.

Hope you'll be an active member of our community. :good

cohnjesse Very good reply. Welcome aboard.

:good: :good:

Jesse You dont remember why were in Iraq? Let me help

Reason number 1 Weapons of mass destruction, that were about to rain down on American cities. OOPS werent any :?:

Reason number 2 Al Quada was opperating in Iraq, OOPS again :dripple:

Reason number 3 Sadam was a really bad man Well at least we didnt have to do the OOPS thing on this one. But never mind that he isnt even in the top 5 for bad dictators, they dont have countries that sit on vast oil reserves.

And finally reason number 4 We are giving the Iraq's a chance at democracy. Never you mind that we destryed most of the country or killed and maimed their children, thats just not important, not like democracy via invasion. Now Im sure that those pesky little oil fields meant nothing to dick Cheney or GW and their friends, they wouldnt think of killing hundreds of thousand of people for a thing like oil profits now would they :dripple:

Did it all come back to you, I know its a little hard without a scorecard to keep track of all those reasons for invading another country when they changed week to week. But we must try :Y:

Thanks janetn...too many suffer from a two minute memory where Iraq is concerned...Rove profited from it to continue with his misinformation campaign...that the US Public were just too 'lazy' to research what REALLY happened! :!:

Exxon-Mobil of ALL the 'oil companies' are the culprits here...ALL of Dubya's "good ol' boy friends network"...Texas OIL Barons in the PRIME example!...Even Chevron pales compared to Exxon-Mobil...(by the waaaay, Chevron was BUYING oil while Saddam was ruling via the "oil for food" program set up by the UN)...but it was EXXON-MOBIL & Halliburton that made the BIG MONEY at the COST of over 3000 US servicemen & women...not to mention countless Iraqis dead...and THOUSANDS pemanently wounded... :mad:

jesse, Ohio was 'fixed' in 2004 by GOPPER Kenneth Blackwell & Diebold Corp...(along with Rove's 'swiftboating' of Kerry that STILL didn't insure a WIN)...and THAT is why we NEED impartial INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS for the 2008 Race...and everyone KNOWS it was "Witchipoo" Katherine Harris that 'fixed' the 2000 Race...the ONLY way neocons can hold onto power is via 'fixed' elections...WELCOME TO THE USSR! :dripple:

Thanks for the thread...I have been b*tching about the BU$H Economy for YEARS!...and THIS helps show people that there has been NO POSITIVE GROWTH under BU$H's Rule! The markets are fluxing 'ocean waves'...a 'perfect storm' for speculators, but NOT for small investors and retirees... :bad:
