Enron might have tolerated him... (to be scrupulously fair) "no board of directors would tolerate the debt he has straddled his company (America, inc.) with!"

I beg to differ. Some of the greatest accomplishments in the world are the function of debt financing. Ironic that liberals think the only way to get the economy rolling is through higher taxes. Bush is the mac daddy of debt. No one since Reagan has had the balls to engage in such a massive spending effort to make the world a safer place. Reagan got the commies and Bush gets the terrorists. Bush has a much worse job since he had to send troops to battle. He has to endure all the nasty rhetoric from libelcrats that call him every name they can imagine. Oh well, it comes down to a difference of political affiliation. As a Republican, I think Bush and Co. has done the best job imaginable given such difficult circumstances. The democrats will say everything against him just to increase their chances of taking control again in 2008. Hey, that's ok with me. Competition does not have any rules. Why pretend to have manners when you will stop at nothing? Go make yourself proud. Once the Israelis leave the occupied territories without any negative incidents, the Muslims are not going to have much left to complain about. Even more so once the US withdraws troops from Iraq after the elections. Life without jihadi bombings is going to get very dull for the disillusioned psychpaths that have enjoyed attacking innocent Muslim civilians in Iraq for the past 2 years.

IF you want a glimpse of Bush's blunder read: Talking Wounded washingtonpost.com EXCERPT: One day a nurse came in to ask Rodgers if he wanted to meet President Bush, who was visiting the hospital. Rodgers declined. "I don't want anything to do with him," he explains. "My belief is that his ego is getting people killed and mutilated for no reason -- just his ego and his reputation. If we really wanted to, we could pull out of Iraq. Maybe not completely but enough that we wouldn't be losing people -- at least not at this rate. So I think he himself is responsible for quite a few American deaths."
