How you could possibly think of Bush as someone to look up to is
certainly beyond me. You have to be living in a special reality, like
he did.

I would offer this:

One thing that occurred to me today while watching all the inauguration
activities was that it would have been a perfect day and timing for a
terrorist attack. Virtually everybody who would have a responsibility to
respond were tied up in activities. It would be chaotic.

I think thanks can be given for the fact that it didn't occur to the
departed cowboy from Texas.

Bush tranported the victims to them to save them fuel.

He got blamed for many things, one of the most outrageous was when the
officials in Louisiana would not request federal assistance until it was
to late. Because of State's Rights issues President Bush could not
respond and was blamed for not responding fast enough. However the US
Coast Guard was there before the winds died down rescuing people from
the storm.

I hope that obama gets a spine before it is to late and tries to
measures up to President Bush. It would be a pity if the first black
man to be President turns out to be a total failure and pushes this
country into another 8 years of depression as the democrats did in the
1930's
Using Bush as an example would be disastrous.

Cut taxes for the wealthy while ignoring the real driver of the
economy, the middle class.
The CEO of my company employs 45,000 people.

Me a middle class guy employs 8 of those 45,000 people.

The CEO of my wife's compnay employs 170,000 people.

She a middle class gal employs no one.

This, like the rest of your responses, is a non-sequitur. The fact
that CEOs earn 700 times, on average, of the mean salary of the rest
of the company is obscene.

Why is it obscene to pay someone a nice sum of money for running a
profitable business that employs 45,000 people?

The CEO of my compahy employs 5000 times as many people as I do. He
would like to earn 5000 times my salary. He only earns 192 times my
salary and he deserves every penny.

A game of egos played by an elite cadre of peers. Greed at its worst.

And to think any of what they earn will trickle down to affect the
economy is stupid. It's been proven wrong time and time again and yet
it's celebrated by fools like you who think he's blessed to have the
gilt of funding bailouts for billionaires.

He probably stuffs all of his money in his mattress at home. Freaking
cheap *******.

How you could possibly think of Bush as someone to look up to is
certainly beyond me. You have to be living in a special reality, like
he did.

I would offer this:

activities was that it would have been a perfect day and timing for a
terrorist attack. Virtually everybody who would have a responsibility to

Bush tranported the victims to them to save them fuel.

Good point. He also transported pallets of $100 bills. My nephew
said they didn't count it when handing it out, they weighed it.

Those were my hard earned tax dollars at work. Buying Iraqi
cooperation or refunding them for the value of their family member's
lives.

Let's not forget how much fuel we've purchased over their to keep
those humvess and transports on the road. I'm sure Halliburton made a
pretty penny off each litre. I'm sure a percentage of our fuel
purchases went to fund terrorism, the mid-eastern version of unicef
or Ronald McDonald house.

Cut taxes for the wealthy while ignoring the real driver of the
economy, the middle class.

Launching a war against an enemy that wasn't a threat. Close to 5,000
of our military dead and hundreds of billions of our tax revenues
wasted.

Gutting whatever clean air and water regulations could benefit
corporate interests.

He used them for the same reason Bush did.
They are the only company in the world that does what they do under
fire. From bricks to college degrees to retail operations, they are
the only company that can provide infrastructure for a working

Nope. They weren't already deployed when Bush/Cheney hired them. In
Clinton's case, they were already there.
And your last statement is not true, either.
