Bye Bye Bush???

Not mentioning of course that the same administration ordered the jet fighters to not intercept the off course hijacked airliners, but rather to patrol the skies over the white house a good hour after the airliners had almost all crashed. Not mentioning of course that the independant investigation of 9/11 has been delayed by the same administration, which does not hand over files regarding the orders given to jet fighters of U.S and Canada immediately proceeding the attacks. Not mentioning of course that I can no longer talk any more on the subject while I breath for fear of violating one of Bush's new laws which he passed quickly following the attacks.

Regardless of what you think of Iraq, it's not questioned that Bush did a great job of bringing the country together and showing leadership right after 9/11.

He did squat. He hid in a bunker whilst Rudolph Giuliani pulled the nation together. All bush did was alienate the world, and make Americans even more hated amongst the extremists. I still want a good reason why Iraq happened. WTF did that have to do with his terrorist agenda? :mad: Squigs, you've got it right there... we all know that Bush wanted Iraq from the time he stepped into office.
 
Let's review, shall we? First of all, Bush didn't hide in a bunker; that was Cheney. Second of all, he said and did the right things right after the attacks to keep us together. Any "playing off emotions" he may have done was playing off of that, not off of the attacks and the emotions tied into that themselves.
 
The world rallied behind the US people and their Government after 9/11 even Russia and China and I believe Cuba agreed the US had a "right" to go into Afghanistan.Bush's ignorance in assuming this gave him a blank check to invade Iraq was his undoing internationally IMO.
 
Is anyone getting deja vu yet? GW's daddy was president during a recession and an Iraqi invasion and he ended up losing to the govenor of a small, rural state. History tends to repeat itself, right? Can we say President Dean?

My spam filter must have caught it. Bush the First's recession also ended before the election, didn't keep him in office though.
 
is it the same deal wiht the first Bush? that it was another president before the decline of our economy or did it start when he was in office?
 
The most common definition of recession is two consecuitive quarters of negative GDP growth. 2001q1, 2001q2, 2001q3 all had negative GDP growth. We officially entered a recession 2001q2 and left it 2001q4, all under the presidency of Bush II.

Now, as we all know, economies have ups and downs and the recession was most likely not the doing of Bush II (or CLinton for that matter). Alan Greenspan might be the most powerful man in the USA when it comes to the economy.

If anything is going to kill Bush in the election, it will be the unemployment rate, which has hovered around 6% (between 5.4 and 6.4) since October 2001. In the late 90's, it was just above 4%. Since the recession ended, unemployment has gone up from 5.4% in Oct. 2001 to 6.4% in June 2003 (last stat shows it's now at 6.0%).

Blaming the president for the economy is usually misguided. It's also happens to be an easy way for an opponent to get some jabs in and have the voters buy it.

So what would you have done? Would you have shot down hijacked passenger planes? Bear in mind of course the fact that no-one had ever (that is EVER as in not once, never at all) intentionally crashed a plane full of people as an attack after hijacking it. Airline crews were up until that point specifically instructed to do whatever the hijackers told them too as it was their best chance for survival.

Of course when you look back with hindsight you can be as clever as you want, but of course when you actually look at the facts it is complete bollocks.
 
I thought this might be the place to post this. I bought a sweet little pin like this today at the Two Unemployed Democrats store today. :D
