        FTA:
        Facing approval ratings barely above 25% and already condemned by a number of commentators and historians as the very worst of America's 43 presidents, Bush has spent much of his final weeks in office seeking to salvage his legacy.
        ****
        Lets hope that he continues to seek to salvage his legacy.
        Perhaps a loooooong spa vacation in Cuba with a private immersion pool for assisted taking of the waters to help him to get a clearer focus on reality..

            He was disapointed that no weapons of mass destruction were found.
            So disapointing that the entire reason why we invaded, occupied, and distabalized a whole entire region of the middle east did not exist.

            To me, he had his chances to grow in the office and blew them. Don't know him personally; but he seems to be one of the least self-aware people I've had occasion to encounter.

              When he's ready to admit that his war is based on lies and that his regime was made up of war mongers I might start to pay attention.

                ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:* I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.* I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.*I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.* I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.* I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.* I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.* I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.* In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that trend continues.....
