I will grant you this. Bush is responsible for
1. starting the Iraq war and planning it poorly. he hired Rumsfeld and
motley crew of armchair hawks in the Pentagon.
2. tax cuts for the rich

Bush is not responsible for
1. All the giant SUVs the American populace has been buying
2. economic growth in China and India
3. oil being a non-renewable resource
4. conditioning of American public that they have a birthright to big
homes, big houses etc.



All correct, except for the SUVs. He has two problems which prevent him from
being useful in this regard.

1) Another president, during WWII, was able to reason with the public and
get people to make sacrifices. Nookular Boy could never risk asking people
to give up things they believe they have a divine right to own, like stupid
cars. His presidency was gained by, and is maintained by catering to the
stupid.

2) He's stupid.
