[Taking Congress back in 2010]

The comments about President Bush are disheartening.

If it wasn’t for President Bush, those of you still alive, would be sifting through the remains of our burnt out cities looking for scraps to live on.

give it time pal give it time..a few terrorist could never do what Bush and Co have done to our economy in a few short months..I will always remember him scurrying back inside the white house this fall after telling the American people the economy was collapsing and it's only hope was TARP.

Yes. However, W’s actions warrant it. We have to be real here. We can’t like everything the man does and this idea of his, doesn’t work. Now, it could be press-spin and maybe in his usual fashion he doesn’t really explain the STRINGS AND CONDITIONS (if there are any). W has been very short on explanations and it has cost him.

However, this idea he is ‘considering’ is just ludicrous and it calls for a response. You are right, it isn’t pretty.

Really, if you are crediting him just for the fact that we weren't attacked, you could give the same kind of credit to Clinton and, should we not be in the next four years, to Obama.
Yes, Bush helped to bolster the military in some ways after 9-11...but he also shares the blame (along with Rumsfeld) for the failure of not having enough boots on the ground and general screwups in the initial phases of Operations Iraqi Freedom, therefore causing unnecessary death and wounding for those who really have kept us safe: OUR TROOPS!
The president seemed to forget that his first loyalty was to the American people and not to trusted but an incompetent Cabinet member such as Don Rumsfeld.
