I don't get it, college republicans LOVE GW Bush and want to honor him with his very own day, "W" DAY! I felt it was our duty to show that there is a fair number that support President Bush and appreciate what he did for our country,” [student Timothy Gilliam] said. [...]Sorry Bush lovers but this makes me laugh! This is happening at Western Kentucky University, a booth is set up and a giant thank-you card is waiting your signature, when it's so full they can't fit any more names then it'll be sent to Bush in Texas! While you are standing in line waiting for the 2 people ahead of you to sign, you can watch some of Bush's most famous speeches on video and pick up a flier highlighting his accomplishments. OMG, it's too friggin' funny! Gilliam says so far 200 fliers have been handed out and 100 signatures are on the card. Also said it's been so successful he's going to share the idea with other universities. What is it with Republicans and the past?? Why can't they live for the future and accept when we have legitimate elections, even if it is Democrats that win?? Bush was NOT a good president, face it and move on!
A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Americans are entering 2010 with a negative view of the events of the past decade, which was largely marked by President Bush’s tenure from 2001-2009:
According to the poll, a combined 58% said the decade was either “awful” or “not so good,” 29% said it was fair, and just 12% said it was either “good” or “great.” [...]Look at these poll numbers. The largest numbers are the things Republicans today are still fighting. They don't listen to the people and this is more proof. 46% say ground on health and well being was lost, so they still fight HC reform. 54% say ground was lost on the nations sense of unity yet they fight this new president on every turn which leads to a divided country. 55% say loss of respect for others yet we have tea party activists showing a huge disrespect for our president and for ANYONE who disagrees with their twisted thinking. 66% say loss of morals, this is a good one. We know repubs use morals and family values as their platform but have jumped ship with that one. Way too many repubs are lacking in morals these days! 74% say ground on economic prosperity was lost but the righties continue fighting finance reform, jobs bill, and Main St. while embracing Wall St. and tax cuts for the rich.
Asked what they thought had the greatest negative impact on America this past decade, 38% cited the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 23% picked the mortgage and housing crisis, 20% said the Iraq war, 11% chose the stock market crash, and 6% said Hurricane Katrina.
But 37% said it lost ground on the environment, 46% said it lost ground on health and well being, 50% said it lost ground on peace and national security, 54% said lost ground on the nation’s sense of unity, 55% said it lost ground in treating others with respect, 66% said it lost ground on moral values, and a whopping 74% said it lost ground on economic prosperity.
I don't get it. We have a great president and a chance for making progress that was sorely lacking in the Bush years. Forget Reagan, he's dead and forget Bush, he doesn't care about you and the mess he made of this world, he's napping comfortably in his hammock, on his secluded comfortable ranch......
