lol

Who you calling idiot, dumbass? What kind of idiot responds to persons he supposedly has on ignore?

Fact: Bush is the most disliked president since Truman.

Your "facts" are nothing but your own opinions for the most part.....the fact that many folks including myself are not satisfied with GWB's job performance does not mean that we feel he is evil or that he should be hated....you're just too fukking dumb to get that distinction....Truman is highly regarded today as Bush may well be in the future for his foresight with regard to Islamic extremism. History will be his judge, not dumbass peckerwoods like yourself.

Fact: Anyone running on the Bush doctrine in 2008 lost.

No one ran on the "Bush Doctrine", dumbass.

Fact: Bush gets booed when he goes out in public.

Nonsense. Don't you guys all claim he never goes in front of anything but friendly audiences.....you need to keep your BDS fantasies straight....

Fact: Bush is leaving the country in much worse shape than when he first came into office.

Bush is hardly alone in sharing the blame for the curent financial crisis....as anyone but a BDS afflicted moron like yourself would be able to appreciate....

J.

Liberalism bites the dust.

Tribune Co. files for bankruptcy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Monday, December 8, 2008



** FILE ** In this June 1, 2006 file photo The Tribune Tower, left, home of the Chicago Tribune newspaper offices and newsroom, is reflected in a sheet of glass in Chicago. Tribune Co., owner of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune, other newspapers and the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field, has hired financial advisers ahead of a possible filing for bankruptcy-court protection, according to reports on Sunday Dec. 7, 2008. The Chicago Tribune reported its parent hired investment bank Lazard Ltd. and law firm Sidley Austin as it considers its financial options. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)

The owner of the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, The (Baltimore) Sun, the Chicago Cubs and other properties has $13 billion in debt.

Severe reductions in advertising this year because of the recession has put pressure on the company. Most of its debt comes from the complex transaction in which the company was taken private by real estate mogul Sam Zell last year.

Although the next major principal payment isn't due until June, analysts say Tribune has been in danger of missing lender-imposed financial targets.

Tribune made the filing Monday in bankruptcy court in Delaware.

that's why so many people have you on ignore.

Of course you defeat the purpose of that ignore if you just quote his lame posts. Why don't you just ignore him too instead of acting as his beard?

>>> Fact: Bush is the most disliked president since Truman.

It is interesting you mentioned Truman.

Truman was, in fact, disliked on a scale with Bush. Yet, 50 years later, the tide began to turn. Today, Truman is thought of in a much different light than he was at the time.

GWB, like Truman, had huge swings in his popularity. He left office with a job approval rating of 22%. Yet, a couple years ago he was ranked 7th best amongst presidents.

The point, of course, is that you can never attach much significance to what the purported popularity of a president is until well after he has left office. Without a doubt, Bush will one day be considered a great president. Once it has become clear just how important the success in Iraq has been, Katrina and the economy will simply be unimportant. If the economy goes on to collapse, it will be obvious that Bush didn't cause it, he just happened to be present when it happened.

When you're caught up in a partisan struggle, it is impossible for you to see this. Sometimes I think you're about 19, and it may be that when you grow up, you'll see things differently.
