    You know I hear the pro-bush harp on about how great he is.

    So can you please list off anything in the last four years he has done that has improved the US or the worlds way of life.

    And I don't mean "get tough on terrorism" or "Invaded Iraq to remove Saddam". Something that was actually put into law.

    Say something nice about Bush.

    He will die


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,191 ✭✭✭Unpossible


    He is the result of a lot of jobs being relocated to India (they could use the money)

    He's causing the dollar to become weak, making the Euro strong

    Say what you want about him, he is single-minded and stubborn, if wants to do something he will.

    He united (most of) Europe against him, I bet you that was what clinched it in the constitution talks :D

    Thinks that are nice about Bush .... well, these might not be "nice" in a 'good for the US' kind of way, but more in a 'for the good of the planet' way.


    Well, he's giving the EU (and most of the rest of the world) the incentive it requires to break free of reliance on the US after so many years of the Cold War and after.

    He's going to fubar the US economy so bad that it'll be practically bankrupt (if not outright), thus ending the reign of the super-powers and perhaps re-dressing the world power balance somewhat.

    He's doing such a fine job of trouncing human rights and democracy that the masses will start looking towards the EU for those qualities.

    He's handing the Democrats a guaruanteed victory in 2008 and with the mess that he's going to create, the word "conservative" or "republican" will replace the word "liberal" as the new pariah word in the US.

    And he does a damn fine chimp impersonation.

    He may well be biodegradable.

    He didn't* cheat this time around

    I'd do at least 50% of his daughters.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,457 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Will Ferral's impression of him is one of the funniest impressions ever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Fair played to him, he conned a nation of 240 million for the second time..

    At most, he has only 4 years left. Unless he dies, or someone assassinates him.

    We can live in hope.

    Nutkase wins the most sane comment award. I was looking more of what he has done to the US law wise.

    For example, had he not made a pigs ear of it then "No Child Left Behind" plan might of been listed.

    Damn you Dapper, you beat me to it.

    He singlehandedly undid all the good marketing the Segway had enjoyed - this is a great thing for America and Americans, the Segway is an over-priced, fat-inducing gadget that would be dangerous on any city's streets.

    yeah but isn't it screwing up the economy?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    He alerted countless millions to the danger of eating pretzels alone and without supervision.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    He has helped re-invigorate American politics. I know this is also a bad thing, making it more partisan, but boosting voter turnout and encouraging discussion and participation is a good thing in my book.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    He used to do coke and that makes him COOL

    He helped arouse interest in US politics for a lot of people (though admittedly he did that by being a really bad president, but the point stands)


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 6,524 Mod ✭✭✭✭sharkman


    He makes Bertie look intelligent (just)

    It was Dr. Pepper's and Bush doesn't swallow.

    He signed the Anti Spam law (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) back in 2003

    Actually finding something to legitimatly applaud him for was bloody tough :confused:
