The Bush Legacy
|
|
He seems to love talking about how history will judge him. He knows good and well he'll be remembered as a disaster.
He'll be remembered for being asleep at the wheel on 9/11, ignoring the dire warnings and choosing to vacation instead.
He'll be remembered for squandering the backing of virtually the whole world, and stoking the flames of terrorism that will haunt the world for generations.
He'll be remembered for a repugnant indifference to the loss of life and suffering caused by Hurricane Katrina.
He'll be remembered for rolling back the clock on environmental protection and intentionally stifling attempts to address global warming.
He'll be remembered for giving the order that caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of humans, and destabilized the economies and security of nations for decades.
He'll be remembered for a complete failure in leadership at a time when America's need was at historic proportions, opting instead to keep Americans paralyzed with fear and constant vague threats.
But it bugs me to no end that in January 2009, George W. Bush will walk out of the White House with his disgusting legacy, but the ringleaders of the Republican Party, who skillfully used him as their mouthpiece, will remain intact and ever more diabolical pulling strings from behind the curtain.
