Bush is the worst president in US history. What does he provide that is even remotely good governance?

- the biggest deficits we've ever seen

- alarmingly ballooning debt to countries like the corrupt SA and communist China - what happens when China says, 'go pound sand we're not buying your debt any longer unless you give us Taiwan.'

- the most divisive country since the civil war

- the worst image in the world since goodness knows when

- tripling of gas prices in 6 years

- massive welfare to BigOil, BigPharma and, as part of kill-SS, BigWallStreet

- huge % increases in discretionary spending: more than double that of Clinton's and more than triple that of Carter's.

- increases in poverty, increases in the uninsured

- a war without a coherent strategy in Afghanistan or Iraq

- a war to put Iran and Islamic fundamentalism in power in Iraq

- a war to partition Iraq and make it less stable than even under Saddam

- a volunteer military that cannot fill its lowered recruiting targets and is on its way to being destroyed both in terms of people and equipment

- an attempt to kill one of the most successful insurance programs in history: Social Security by borrowing $1-$2 trillion as a handout to Wall Street cronies AND that plunges the elderly, disabled, orphaned into abject poverty

- using government as a money launderer to transfer massive sums from those who work for a living to those who steal for a living

- protecting the corrupt dictatorship of Saudi Arabia over protecting the US public

- providing bankruptcy protection to poorly run legacy airlines while taking away protection from individuals who had the stupidity to get really, really sick

- being on vacation for 520+ days. I think Clinton went on less than 170...in his entire 2 terms. Working only 8-to-5 with a 2 hour nap and a 2-hour workout.

- blaming everyone else in the world for everything that has gone wrong in the last 5 years: Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, AQ, OBL (where is he anyway?), Liberals, Feminists, toddlers, puppy dogs and the wind.

I understand why the Bushies steal and plunder and lie and blame but I do not understand how anyone who loves this country and believes in ethics and morality and decency and competence can still be supporting them.
