What kind of mess will the next president inherit?. |
From The Independent, 1/20/08:

Just one more year!
Good riddance to George W Bush
But what kind of mess will the next president inherit, exactly 12
months from today?
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
Arabia is the land of illusion and desert mirages.
And as he jetted last week from kingdom to sheikdom, to be regaled
with feasts and falcons, jewels and ornamental swords, George Bush
might have imagined that all was well with his presidency.
But this, his longest and most ambitious trip to the Middle East, will
surely be remembered – if it is remembered at all – as a gaudy,
irrelevant footnote to a presidency that has long since failed.
Today is a sombre milestone, marking the start of the last of Mr
Bush's eight years in the White House.
This being a leap year, exactly 366 days remain until 20 January 2009,
when his successor will be sworn into office.
It is a time when incumbents look to their legacies.
And for this President the view could scarcely be bleaker.
Is he the worst President in US history?
Mr Bush faces stiff competition from the likes of James Buchanan, who
watched as America slipped towards civil war, or Warren Harding with
his corrupt administration, or Herbert Hoover, who failed to halt the
slide into the Great Depression, or, more recently, Richard Nixon, the
only President to be forced to resign.
But in terms of dogmatism, incompetence, ignorance and divisiveness,
Mr Bush surely compares with any of the above.

"What kind of mess ... ?"
Some posters here are so Bush-washed that they don't or won't accept
that WE'RE ALREADY IN RECESSION!
I would hope you duped folks aren't waiting for your WHITE HOUSE WAR
CRIMINAL to TELL you OR ADMIT we're in a recession.
It will never happen.
The last thing your Nincompoop-In-Chief wants to ever acknowledge is
that his years in office are circumscribed at each end by MAJOR
DISASTERS.
1) The 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
2) A major recession in 2008 into at least 2009.
Yes, the worst misadministration in U.S. history will be remembered
for its FAILURES, CRIMINALITY, MALFEASANCE, MISFEASANCE, DECEPTION,
and INEPTITUDE -- all "enclosed" between BUSH'S TWO BIG BOOKENDS!

That can't be answered accurately since the Christian terrorist can
easilly commit far more damage to the world and to the United States
in the time he and his terrorist regime have left.

Hi,
Its not just the obvious problems the next president will have to cope
with for 4 years, its going to take generations to pay off the money
thats been borrowed to pay for the $1 Trillion war.
It took the UK 60 years to pay back America for the second world war
money it borrowed and we have the 4th or 5th biggest economy in the
world.
Thanks

Right.
How will the next president stop liberals in the banking industry from
giving money away to people that can't repay - knowing full well that
the corporate big whigs will end up being the loser ... should it
eventually get out of hand, and it did. The liberal agenda strikes us
* all * down again. Trouble is, they went too far. Now the
government, and thus every tax payer, has to bail us out with what
these liberal loan officers have done.
In some sense, they are traitors to America...
