Yeah, although it's true that Bush has flubbed up the economy

Translation: "flubbed up" = 1. was in office when the country was
attacked, starting a war and decimating the airline industry, with multiple
associated downline ripple effects; 2. concurrently inherited an ongoing
economic recession; 3. had to deal with a corporate fraud scandal that had
been building for 5+ years

... made everybody in the world resent us

Most of the world already resented us politically. Comes with being #1.
Note, however, that in spite of the official whining rhetoric, US of A is
still far and away the #1 destination for immigrants seeking opportunity.

...distanced us from the U.N.

And this is a bad thing? "Distancing" ourselves from a third-world country
club whose main interest is preserving their individual New York residences
and expense accounts?

... attacked a nation unprovoked

Which nation was that? You couldn't be referring to Afghanistan, a nation
that had turned over virtually it's entire land mass and administration to
be used as a training/staging area by an organization that had publicly
declared itself at war with the US. Nor could you be referring to Iraq, a
nation that knowingly, willfully, and publicly violated treaty provisions
with the US and others that it publicly agreed to and signed in 1991. We
must have attacked some other country while no one was looking.


... made a shambles of commonly excepted protocol,

A protocol is a set of procedures or behaviors voluntarily followed by
persons involved, with the aim of having affairs run smoothly and fairly and
beneficially for all concerned. You'll need to be more specific as to
exactly where and/or when such a set of circumstances was in place that the
US subsequently "shambled".

etc., etc, that damned Clinton wanted a blow job.

You still don't quite grasp reality, do you? Clinton got laughed at (but
not embarrassed - and that speaks volumes) because of the blow jobs. He got
impeached because he looked the country in the eye seventeen times in
succession, and lied. Not once or twice -- people can shake that off.
Seventeen effing times.
