George Bush maintains that his first term has been a success and that he should be elected in 2004 because he governs with a "steady hand." Unfortunately, that "steady hand" has been picking our pockets, as his tax cuts shift the burden of financing the country increasingly to the middle class. And his "steady hand" on the tiller of government has given us lofty-sounding programs like "Clear Skies" "No Child Left Behind," and "Healthy Forests." But "clear skies" has allowed more pollution, NCLB has left plenty of children behind, and his forest program has allowed logging of ancient trees. Instead of peace and prosperity, George Bush gives us Orwellian doublespeak. His "steady hand" on the economy has plunged us into debt and cost us two million jobs. Bush's "steady hand" has stiffed the UN and most of Europe, overthrown two or three governments (depending on how Haitii turns out) and irritated most of the world. With lofty rhetoric and outright deception, George Bush has tried to cover up his failures, but we have been watching. We have the evidence. thousandreasons.org

US business group slams Bush 'deception' over Iraq war story.news.yahoo.com NEW YORK (AFP) - A US business group that monitors federal spending took out a full-page advert in The New York Times, likening President George W. Bush (news - web sites) to a corrupt chief executive officer who has forfeited public trust. Timed to coincide with the weekend anniversary of the US-led war against Iraq (news - web sites), the advertisement -- paid for by Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities -- said Bush's case for invasion "was built entirely out of falsehoods." Highlighting the cost of the war in terms of hundreds of US casualties and tens of billions of dollars, the ad said the "state-sponsored deception" underpinning the conflict dwarfed the damage caused by the series of corporate scandals that recently rocked Wall Street. "It's past time for finger pointing," it said. "It's time for someone in this government to step forward and take personal responsibility for the deadly deceptions used to mislead this great nation into war. "And that someone must be George W. Bush." Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities was formed in 1996 on concerns that federal government spending priorities were undermining national security. The group's 500 members include the present or former CEOs of Bell Industries, Eastman Kodak and Goldman Sachs, as well as CNN founder Ted Turner.
