Yep. It sure as heck looks like Bush broke the law directly (i.e. without plausible deniability) time and again on the NSA spying thing. LOL!! Care to make a wager..? What crapola you post....

The Emerging Bush Legacy huffingtonpost.com By Paul Cummins 01.05.2006 The following list is, in my opinion, the Bush legacy. It is offered without footnotes, without elaboration or argument, but simply as a list. Perhaps by gathering together these twenty disparate (yet, I believe, related) items, the legacy will be seen for the mean-spirited, unenlightened, arrogant, plutocratic-cronyistic agenda that it is. Never in American history, I believe, has such a disastrous set of principles been enacted. Each of the twenty has far reaching, negative consequences. 1. Tax cuts leading to massive, unprecedented deficits 2. Preemptive wars against non-aggressive nations 3. Sanctioning of torture 4. De-regulation of environment protections 5. Weakening of the separation of church and state 6. Exempting the gun industry from lawsuits 7. Weakening of individual privacy protections 8. Rejection of international organizations - U.N., World Court, etc. 9. Increased hatred of the U.S.A. in Islamic countries 10. Increase in terrorist attacks since 9/11 11. Neglect of poverty in the U.S.A. and abroad 12. Shifting the tax burden from wealthy corporations and individuals to wage earners 13. Reducing (hoping to abolish) estate taxes thus creating "a permanent aristocracy" in America 14. Furthering anti-intellectualism - a president who admittedly does not read and is embarrassingly inarticulate 15. Increased military spending; hostility to spending for social services 16. Increased number of Americans without health care 17. Rejection of minimum wage increases - five consecutive years 18. Applying the principle of awarding lucrative contracts to crony companies without competitive bidding 19. Attempts to privatize Social Security 20. Four consecutive years of increases in the percentage of Americans living in poverty Fortunately, the American public seems to be waking up, and perhaps the nation will begin to reverse the Bush assaults upon reason, sustainability, equity, and posterity.
