    In you opinion, what was the worst thing about the bush presidency?

    For me it HAS to be the fact that because of it, every time I do an image search for "bush", all i get is hundreds of images of that imbecile at press conferences.

    grrrrrr, he had to go and make it personal :mad:.

    The amount of insufferable protests and War on Terror themed guff from creatively bereft recording artists.

    Career on the slide? Need one more comeback tour to top up your pension? Why not create an album dedicated to the open goal that is criticising the Bush doctrine!

    Yeah I was gonna say that. Americans can moan all they want but they gave him an extra 4 years.

    He had to be able to read it to reply. You should have sent a voice recording.

    The fact that he made it easy for the cranks, crackpots,lefties, jerks,rabble rousers,wasters to vent anger at US policy while putting forward no alternative and forgetting that the Taliban , Bin laden mob and the other loonies out there were not a terribly progressive bunch either.

    If ireland got taken over who was the first person we would look to to dig us out


    Dubya that's who.

    Bit of reality required.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭dade


    he lived through it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 261 ✭✭ben bedlam


    worst thing: that his brains were not blown out by a sniper seconds before he took the oath of office in 2001

    i'd look to the United Nations and the EU personally

    edit:and following your logic, if we were taken over now we'd go to obama. so it's not because bush was actually any good, he was just commander-in-chief of a very large army


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,034 ✭✭✭deadhead13


    That it happened at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Zangetsu


    The worst thing imo was the ****in disgusting treatment of the people held at Guantanamo, he should be locked up for approving ANY of that in this day and age...

    Sick freak...

    i'd go a bit further back because if that happened Cheney would have taken over :eek:

    he should have got the bullet the day before they decided to rig the election in florida


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,969 ✭✭✭robby^5


    That is it is over :(

    What a magical 8 years.

    The fact that millions of American's decided to vote him back into office, after one of the worst 1st terms in American history.

    Actually I don't blame Bush. I blame those stupid enough to vote for him the second time.

    I feel the same dismay as you do about posts defending a war criminal like Bush which get thanks.

    i hope the motivation for your post is not down to that old chestnut: whereby one potential killing is a murder that evokes disdain in you. Yet the slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians, as a result of the Iraq war, are a mere statistic that don't trouble you.

    I feel dismay that what started off as a blatant joke/ semi troll post could turn itself into a serious discussion.

    we might have asked for help but getting any would be a different story as we have already seen, where was america to help when this country was taken over before??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    the clusterfcuk that was Iraq, the disgraceful treatment of the firemen in NYC after 9/11 despite getting his photo-op on the rubble (Using a police force to block their access to the site, refusing them medical aid months later, the government constantly denying any connection between the air at ground zero and the deaths of dozens of young men), the patriot act, the clamp-down on ANY form of dissent- especially RNC/DNC events, the rebirth of the ugliest kind of flag-waving nationalism, the fact a man who honestly believed he was on a mission from 'god' was in such a position of power.

    So long cowboy, go ride into the sunset and straight off a cliff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,290 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    The notion that a moron like that can be elected in the first place. Absolutely mind-boggling.

    Ok, here's some reality: who exactly would be taking Ireland over? The Taliban? Saddam? The UVF? Pinky and the Brain?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    That it has to end. Obama looks like a boring book worm. Probably great thing for the world but what about the lolz?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    All of the above but Bush just wasn't cut out to be Pres.

    Like when a top manager of a football team gets sacked and they have to shove somebody in at quick notice until a proper replacement is found , that was George :D

    Bush was/is a harmless gobsh*te, if you think it was him controlling America for 8 years then you're crazy. Im happier to see the back of the people who pull Bush's strings to be honest.

    Perhaps it's the fact that another poster believes that violence/murder is the answer to dealing with a problem.

    Spare a thought for the conspiracy Theories Forum. Tis a sad day indeed.
