I wonder if President Bush just wondered how much of a splat he could make in his final days in office as he dashed his occasional good work and his occasional questionable reasoning in favor of down right stupidity. When I look back on the presidency of George W. Bush I was prepared to give him a C+ for his eight years in office. His desire to uphold the inalienable rights of all men and women around the world earned him lots of points as did his tax cuts. But his support for McCain-Feingold and McCain-Kennedy were items that dragged him down.
However, recent events have forced me to reevaluate his presidency and give him a D, the same grade I gave the fillandering, lying Bill Clinton. This is what has sealed the deal:
US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was forced to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from “collapse.”
“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,” Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision “to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse.”
This statement ranks up there with other intelligent commentary like, “I had sex with her to make sure she was a virgin,” and “I cut off hid head to save his life.” You simply cannot save something by abandoning. You cannot save the United States economy by abandoning more of the already rare free market principles which are keeping the massive socialist and corporatist segments of it afloat.
President Bush, you are stuck on stupid!
The sad part of all this? Compared to Barack Obama, Bush is a rocket scientist!
