Pres. Bush's Accomplishments?

Posted: 3/9/06 at 5:25pm

Twenty-five years from now in a U.S. history classroom in a high school in Buhdoinkadoink, Maryland...when they get to the "2000-2010" decade, what are they going to say about President Bush?

Created the Homeland Security divsion? Lead the country through difficult times after 9/11? Captured Saddam Heussein? Started a war under false pretenses? Was a dumbass everyone hated?

How will history remember him?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Do you want my opinion of what it should say? Or my opinion of what it probably will say? Because they, sadly, are two different things. It all depends on who's writing the history books.

The winners write the history books, Calvin. Let's just hope Bush has dug himself into such a hole that that's a moniker he and his ilk can't claim while the history is being written.

Turning a Budget Surplus into a Record Deficit in Record Time.

Trashing the Constitution.

Etc.

He united the two parties in a reaching a singal goal, that goal just happened to be telling him to shut the **** the up.

He has made some very rich men and women even richer.

I guess that is an achievement in some alternate universe.

Actually, voztimbrada, nobody said this WAS a hate thread - a legitimate question was asked - "How will/should he be remembered?"

You, however, were successful in annoying me.

I think the reason why no one gets annoyed by Bush threads is because everyone has different opinions about Rent and Wicked but I think we can all agree about Bush.

Did I ever tell you guys that when my sister saw Mama Mia, Mikhail Gorbachev was dancing in the aisles?
So do you think that Bush has ever seen a play or musical?

He gets mesmerized by a friggin' carpet. Do you think he knows anything about any form of art? The sight of a good painting, to say nothing of a live, dynamic, spectacular show, would probably make his little head explode.
